AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE

Aromatherapy has its roots in the most ancient healing practices of mankind. It uses the natural essences of plants which are absorbed through the skin by therapeutic massage.

Together with the inhalation of the fragrance this is an extremely effective treatment for stress related conditions.

Aromatherapy massage is unique as it makes use of two close range senses, those of touch and smell. It is a very pleasant massage, with powerful medicinal applications. Some essential oils have powerful anti-bacterial properties, rivaling antibiotic drugs in their effectiveness. Other essential oils have psychotherapeutic applications, relieving stress, depression, insomnia and premenstrual syndrome.

The effect of smell alone has a powerful influence on the central nervous system. Fragrance researchers are discovering that odours can and do influence the mood, evoke emotions, counteract stress and reduce high blood pressure. Smell is the only sense in which the receptor nerve endings are in direct contact with the outside world
