Benefits of Aromatherapy Massage:

It is a common misconception that using essential oils in aromatherapy is solely for treating physical ailments.

But in fact, aromatherapy is used to treat everything from stress, sleep disorders, excess inflammation, and energy loss to depression.

Aromatherapy has many benefits, one of which is reducing anxiety. When combined with massage, the healing touch can release endorphins - the hormones that can provide natural pain relief and stress reduction.

Many people who suffer from chronic headaches or migraines seek out aromatherapy massages for relief. The benefits of an aromatherapy massage reach further than just the fantastic smell - the massage's pressure and movement can help improve blood flow to essential organs and muscles. Essential oils and therapeutic massage not only work together to reduce pain in your muscles and joints, but they also help to improve your circulation and brain function. Aromatherapy and massage therapy are great for those looking to reduce inflammation and pain.

Some oils also deliver a euphoric effect as well as ones that produce sedative effects. The overall feeling one experiences when engaging in aromatherapy is well-being and healing.

Dos and Don'ts before/after Aromatherapy massage:

It's vital to hydrate your body after a massage as essential oils can trigger a detoxing response in the skin, which can cause flu-like symptoms.

We suggest wearing old clothes that you don't mind getting stained and always bring an extra set used only for massages so that you're not embarrassed if any oil transfers from your skin's surface to your clothing!
