Whether you decide to visit a spa or try aromatherapy massage at home, the therapeutic essential oils are guaranteed to leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed and totally reinvigorated.
During an aromatherapy massage, fragrant essential oils are applied to the skin using a carrier oil such as jojoba, sweet almond or grapeseed. Essential oils are plant-based oils which are extracted from herbs, trees and flowers, and each oil has its own unique properties which provide therapeutic benefits.
Essential oils penetrate your body as they are absorbed through your skin. These essential oils impart benefits to both your mind and your body, including improving your mood, alleviating pain and detoxifying your body, depending on the oils used.
It is also common practice to diffuse essential oils during an aromatherapy massage. When you inhale the aroma of essential oils, it is detected by sensors in your nose that connect directly to your brain’s limbic system which controls emotions. This means that the aromas you breathe in can directly influence your emotions.
As well as being great for soothing sore muscles along with any other aches and pains, aromatherapy massage can help to ease the symptoms of many medical conditions.
When combined with relaxing essential oils such as lavender or bergamot, aromatherapy massage can be beneficial for conditions such as anxiety, depression and insomnia. As your sense of smell and your emotions are so closely linked, aromatherapy is able to tap into your emotions, directly impacting your mental wellbeing and promoting restorative sleep.
Almost any type of massage can be combined with aromatherapy, with different types of massage suited to different conditions. Some of the most well-known types of massage used alongside essential oils are Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and hot stone massage.
The essential oils may be mixed with a carrier oil and used as part of the massage, or they might be added to a diffuser for inhalation during the massage.
Aromatherapy massage brings together the therapeutic benefits of both essential oils and massage therapy. In addition to being calming and healing, aromatherapy massage impacts all of your body’s systems, from your circulatory and nervous systems to the lymphatic and musculoskeletal systems.
The essential oils you’ll choose will depend on the aim of the massage, with different oils better suited for different conditions. For example, a citrus-based essential oil is great for enhancing your mood while lavender is ideal for relaxation, and eucalyptus has pain relieving properties.
Our top 5 essential oil recommendations for aromatherapy massage are:
• Lavender
• Bergamot
• Eucalyptus
• Peppermint
• Grapefruit
Each one is unique and has different benefits which you will learn about in this video. To go along side with your essential oil, you may also choose to use different carrier oils for your aroma therapy massage. In this video we will be going over the differences between avocado oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, and jojoba oil so that you may pick the best one for you.
Although many people enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy massage, some oils can cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction in some people. If you notice any signs of irritation during your aromatherapy massage, stop the massage straight away and wash your skin. Contact your medical provider if symptoms continue.
If you are suffering from any medical conditions, or if you are pregnant, it’s advised to contact your medical provider before beginning aromatherapy massage to make sure aromatherapy is safe for you.
