Aromatherapy massage is massage therapy with highly concentrated plant oils, called essential oils, added to the massage oil. Essential oils are the volitale and aromatic oils of various plants and flowers and each have a different healing property.
How aromatherapy works: The nostrils are attached to the limbic system; a part of the brain. The limbic system influences the nervous system and hormones and controls human emotions. When essential oil molecules are inhaled, messages are sent to the limbic system where heart rate, blood pressure, stress level, memory, breathing, digestion, and the immune system are all effected. The use of aromatherapy with massage also stimulates olfactory memory allowing the massage client to associate relaxation and healing with fragrance.
