Aromatherapy Massage
What is Aromatherapy Massage?
Aromatherapy massage uses essential oils that are well known to have healing properties. These oils are the concentrated essences taken from the flowers, fruit, seeds, leaves and bark of certain plants, and they are mixed with carrier oil like sweet almond. Here at Therapeutic Massage Christchurch we believe aromatherapy can boost well being, relieve stress and help to refresh your body. A relaxing aromatherapy massage, for instance, might have lavender or bergamot, while a massage for sore muscles might include peppermint and eucalyptus. Before your first aromatherapy massage session Neil, your massage therapist will conduct an initial consultation with you to learn about your desired outcome. He might ask about the current state of your work life, home life, physical health and mental state to learn about what you need. After the consultation, one or more essential oils are selected based on what you need and are mixed in with the massage oil or lotion. The Aromatherapy massage works in two ways, the first via smell which works on the limbic system improving your emotional state and second via the skin; they are absorbed through the skin bringing their healing power to the body on the cellular level. Unlike modern medications, essential oils are natural and easy to eliminate from the body; they leave no toxins or traces after they done their work. You will enjoy the benefits from the first massage, however in some cases a block of treatments is needed in order for you to get the best results.
Who needs Aromatherapy massage?
Everyone! Aromatherapy massage will give an answer to many problems that each and every one of us may have; from stress to anxiety, sore muscles, PMS to insomnia or indigestion and many more. It is a cleaner and greener treatment when comparing it to conventional medications; so if you believe your body is a temple, you will enjoy the treatment and the results.
Does it hurt?
Not at all! Aromatherapy massage is focused on the effect of the essential on the body, which means that you will get results even when the massage is done in a very soft manner. During the consultation Neil will find out what are your goals from the treatment and will decide in partnership with you whether to use deep tissue massage as well while using the essential oils.
How often?
Essential oils have an amazing effect on the body, and you will feel better from the first moment you will smell the wonderful aroma they bring. In most cases a block of 4-5 weekly treatments will ensure a longer lasting effect and results. These treatments can be shorter and more localized to the areas that will have the best effect on the body.
