Massage
in Style Using Aromatherapy
When used in massage, aromatherapy uses plant oils that are
concentrated and have gone through the process of dilution. The
product of this method is called the essential oils. This can
be used as a combination with water or other oils and also with
lotions.
The limbic system in a human brain is in charge of the
emotions and the body's nervous system. It also controls the
hormones and the reaction they have to natural occurrences. The
nostrils are connected with the limbic system.
When a person is undergoing a massage, the aroma of the
essential oils is being absorbed by the nostrils that goes
straight to the limbic system. This has a calming effect on the
heart that lessens the stress that a person feels. This also
controls the breathing to normal and regulates the blood
pressure. This is also good for your memory. This will also
help you in the digestion of food. And this process makes the
immune system stronger. And so the person who is undergoing
such becomes healthier.
The essential oil, when absorbed by the skin, has healing
effects that are good for you. It has healing properties that
have been proven through time.
Uses of the Massage
The oil can be diffused with different scents. As a result, the
combination will have different effects depending on where it
was mixed.
The essential oil plus eucalyptus and tea tree leaves a
decongesting feel. When used with rosemary, it develops a
cleansing effect. If you want calmness, use it with lavender,
chamomile and geranium. And it becomes uplifting when used with
rosemary and uplifting with rose and neroli.
The massage can improve conditions like insomnia and
headaches. It is also good for digestive disorders. And this
will be beneficial for pregnant women and also those suffering
from PMS or the premenstrual syndrome.
You can apply the oil on
yourself or ask someone to do the massage for you. However you
do it, enjoy the process and benefit from the effects that it
emulates. As you use the massage more often, you develop
certain likeness for different mixtures.
Bring your favorite combination every time you visit a
professional for an aromatherapy massage. Have it ready at home
to be utilized when the need arises. Whichever way, learn to
enjoy the different effects the massage has. Pamper your body
and learn to live the relaxed way through this process. As you
get older, you will be really thankful for whoever invented the
process.
