Description

Aromatherapy massage incorporates highly concentrated essential oil, added to the massage oil or lotion. When you inhale essential oil molecules, they are transmitted to the limbic system and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion and the immune system. Essential oils are also believed to be absorbed through the skin.

Each essential oil has different healing properties, for example, some calm while others energize.

Here are some widely used essential oils and their properties:

Calming – Lavender

Uplifting – Ylang-Ylang, Rose

Energizing – Lemongrass

Cleansing – Lemongrass
