The healing power of particular essential oils is the main attraction of Aromatherapy Massage.
Aromatherapy uses warm essential oils to activate your sense of smell and increase your feeling of well-being. The oils are most commonly massaged into the skin, dropped into bathing water, and used in diffusers to disseminate the smell.
The essential oils used in Aromatherapy Massage are powerful and are extracted from plants, shrubs, flowers, bark, peel, resin, grasses, fruits, roots, trees, petals, stems or seeds. Only a small amount of essential oil is needed, blended with a larger amount of “carrier” oil which provides certain benefits of its own and acts as a balancing and stabilizing agent.
