Aromatherapy is the systematic use of essential oils in massage treatments to improve physical well being. Aromatherapy uses warm essential oils to activate your sense of smell and increase your sense of peace and tranquility.

Aromatherapy is a neuromuscular massage and it employs different strokes such as:

  • Reverse effleurage
  • Stroking away from the spine
  • Finger kneading along the nerve pathways
  • Four-finger stroking
  • Cross kneading

All these movements increase the flow of blood to specific areas, namely the sensory nerve endings and the neuromuscular bundles. The pressure is much firmer than the sewdish strokes and the direction is related to the direction of the sensory nerve roots and the dermatonal patterns rather than the direction of the blood and lymph vessels. Because of the firmer pressure and the fact that the pressure is on nerve tissue and neuromuscualr bundles it will be slightly less soothing and may cause mild discomfort. The overall effect of these strokes is to stimulate the nerves and increase endorphin production. This has the effect of dulling pain.

What is Aromatherapy good for?

Aromatherapy works on the basis that the smell of the essential oils trigger the limbic system - the part of the brain that seems to be linked with emotion. when the body is massaged with the oils selected our breath takes 15% of the air to the roof of the nose, where olfactory receptors transport odors straight to the brain. this process stimulates the release of beneficial chemicals within the body for healing any bodliy inbalance.

What are essential oils?

An essential oil is an aromatic, volotile and powerful substance extracted from a single botanical source by distillation or expression. there are some 400 essential oils extracted from plants all around the world and each can achieve something different on the body.
