Most people see massage as a stress reliever.  A good massage relaxes your mind and body. It is a therapeutic practice that known to release the tension in the muscles and let the blood circulate better.

One of the popular kinds of massages is the deep tissue massage. Experts believe that this kind of massage originated in Egypt. It was the ancient Egyptians who first use deep tissue massage in their aching body.

Its primary purpose is to release the tension present in muscles and connective tissues.

While the stones transfer heat into your body which allows the therapist to work more effectively on your aching back.

What Can You Get From Oils During a Massage?

A dose of oil massage

Massage is good for our body and when you say massage, you have to consider that oils are present in every session with a therapist. However, people are still wondering why oils are being used during a massage. In this article I’ll discuss the many benefits of oils and you’ll understand why massage is effective with oils.

There are different types of massage oils that can be used and each oils deliver different benefit to your skin. But why do you need oil when massaging? Is it necessary? What can you get from it? Let’s check it out!

Why do you need oil when massaging?

Massage oil lubricates the skin in order for the therapist to easily work on the surface of the skin. It allows the hands to massage the body freely. Another benefit includes nourishing the skin and smoothens it. So essentially, massage oils are being used to massage the skin easier which gives a more sensual effect.

Oil also makes the skin softer. The skin absorbs the oil and it acts as a hydrating substance that will make your skin softer. Massaging involves stretching the skin, which can be painful or unpleasant for a person that is why the presence of oil is crucial in every massage. The oil minimizes stretching  and make it less painful for a person.

Selecting the right oil

As most client’s testify that regular body massage with oils will make your skin softer and smoother, the importance of oil plays a great role in a achieving best result.  In order to obtain the maximum benefits from a massage, the most suitable oil should be chosen for its purpose.

Take in some Aromatherapy Massage for relaxation

Aromatherapy is a practice that is claimed to be based on both science and facts.  It is believed that Gods in Greek mythology were gifted with the knowledge of perfume and fragrance. The term “aromatherapy” first originated in 1937.  

It is said to be that French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse invented the word after a burn incident happened to him. He discovered the healing powers of essential oils and soon thereafter aromatherapy was born.

Today the curative power of essential oils was incorporated into a massage which is known as Aromatherapy. This type of massage is a Swedish therapy that contains highly concentrated plant oils.

Aromatherapy massage not only relaxes muscles, but also reduces stress. Throughout the whole session, you inhale the oils scent or absorb them through your skin. This kind of massage therapy promotes beneficial changes in your mind and body.

How does it relax your mind and body?

Aromatherapy massage triggers and interacts with the areas of the limbic system  which involved in motivation, emotion, learning, and memory. In simple layman’s term the limbic system, is  a region of the brain known to influence the nervous system.

That’s why during your therapy session your mind and body benefit so much because the limbic system operates by influencing your whole body system. Therefore, it’s no doubt that this kind of therapy is scientifically proven and is good for you.

On the other hand the body massage skillfully uses hands to manipulate soft tissue in order to relieve muscle tension and stimulate blood circulation. The incorporated massage benefits your muscular system while the skin can absorb the oil even better when the rate of blood circulation improves.

Essential oils have been used for nearly 6,000 years, in order to improve a person’s health or mood. The advantages brought about by essential oils have been found to have various degrees of antimicrobial activity and antioxidant properties. Which is why it plays an effective role in relaxing and healing our body.

Should I visit an aromatherapist?

It is important to keep in mind that massage is not appropriate for everyone and at all times. Visiting an aromatherapist is vital. A licensed aromatherapist should ask details about your medical history, lifestyle, diet, and current health condition.

Caution should be heeded for properly diluting oils and using them in the aromatherapy massage session. Only a qualified aromatherapist understands where should she concentrate depending on your body ailment. The massage procedure is created and is dependent on her findings.

Visiting “ The Victoria Spa and Salon” will help you experience a one of a kind aromatherapy massage for relaxing  your body and mind. We have Abu Dhabi massage deals that will suit your budget and will reduce body pain. Pick up the phone now and set an appointment.
