Aromatherapy
Massage is used in aromatherapy both to assist the passage of essential oils into the body and to accentuate their therapeutic effects. Alone, massage can relax the muscles, enabling the blood and lymph to flow more freely, and soothe the mind. When these benefits are combined with the healing powers of essential oils, the results can be outstanding.
The essential oils are aromatic essences extracted from plants, flowers, trees, fruits, bark, grasses and seeds with distinctive therapeutic, psychological, and physiological properties, which improve and prevent illness. There are about 150 essential oils. Most of these oils have antiseptic properties. Others which are taken advantage of in aromatherapy are their stimulation, relaxation, digestion improvement.
The essential oils are absorbed into the body with two main ways, inhalation and absorption by skin. When an essential oil is inhaled, it activates the nerve cells in the nasal cavity which send impulses that stimulate the brain and produce positive feelings and emotions, while at the same time substances of the essential oils are drawn into the lungs and then quickly absorbed into the bloodstream providing physical therapeutic benefits. Moreover, when an essential oil is applied to skin, it penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream this way.Therefore, aromatherapy can be helpful in combating various conditions and promoting emotional wellbeing. The most noteworthy psychological benefits of Aromatherapy are spirit stimulation, mental clarity, stress relief and mood improvement. On the other hand, essential oils can help circulation system, support immune system, regulate human hormones and aid skin regeneration.
