BENEFITS OF AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE
1
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential oils to help promote and maintain a healthy balance of the mind and body. Aromatherapy is safe when applied in the correct way. Plants have been used for thousands of years for their therapeutic properties. We continue to benefit from their use today.
Aromatherapy is not always integrated with massage – there are many ways that essential oils can be used to positive effect. Other methods include inhalation, bathing, lotions/creams and compresses. A professional aromatherapist is able to advise you on the right dosage for each method, and the best way for you to incorporate essential oils into your daily life.

Essential oils
Choosing the right combination of essential oils for an individual can promote improved health, boost the immune system, ease pain, reduce stress, calm the mind and help to balance the whole person.
Essential oils are manufactured in the leaves of aromatic plants during the process of photosynthesis and then stored in a variety of places, such as in the flowers, leaves, fruit, seeds, etc, depending on the plant. They are extracted by a variety of methods, including distillation and expression. Each individual essential oil has its own chemical components and therefore, its own individual therapeutic properties.

Massage
Massage can promote healing and recovery of muscle and soft tissue, delivering fresh oxygenated blood with vital nutrients and minerals to the area. A massage helps you to relax and unwind, which makes it ideal for combating the stresses of everyday life. Drink plenty of water after your massage just as you would after exercise - remember your muscles are being passively worked!
