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.
