Aromatherapy centers around holistic medicine that utilizes extracts from natural plants for health and wellbeing. Many massage therapists apply aromatic essential oils medicinally combined with their massage techniques to improve their client’s physical and emotional health.
The massage involves alternating between gentle and harder pressure while using a specific blend of essential oils.
The essential oils are diluted before use and are applied along with lotion during the massage. Not only is the client's body benefiting with the direct contact with the essential oils, but the oils are alleged to have specific healing properties upon inhaling after exposure.
Sometimes, therapists even go as far as having clients inhale the oils through a diffuser and not only through mild exposure.
