what is a aromatherapy massage?

Different smells can have powerful effects on the body, this is a proven fact. If you are having trouble with this one, no problem. GO into your kitchen, open a bottle of oregano and take a good long deep breath over the bottle. It will maybe take about 5 minutes max, but your going to need a snack for the hunger pangs.
So some smells are soothing, like the smell of cookies in an oven. Others are alarming, ever felt a mild shock, sat up straight from a dead sleep, then realized you thought it was because you smelled smoke?
Massage also has been preformed for centuries, modern science can explain the whole healing thing with warmth and blood flow and alfa waves, I just say it feels good. Aromatherapy with massage takes 2 potentionaly powerful medicinal therapies and uses them to compliment each other.

By the way? Oregano oil when used as a behind the ear perfume on women can knock a mans socks off! He is nibbling away, and can’t figure out why he is so hungry, hunger is a basic need, so is sex, watch him confuse the two…(insert wide evil grin)

Aromatherapy and Its Uses

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils with the intention of improving one’s physical and mental well-being. An essential oil is essentially a liquid that is distilled from a certain plant. Since the oil is obtained from the roots, stems, and leaves of the plant, it basically contains the essence of the plant. By inhaling and/or applying the essential the oils of aromatic plants, one can help enhance physical and mental functions.

What are the different types of Aromatherapy?

Olfactory aromatherapy is the most widely known form of aromatherapy. In this aromatherapy form, you release the essential oils involved into your environment, for the purpose of inhaling their particles. You can either spray the oils into the air, or you can use specialized aromatherapy equipment to diffuse its components.

In massage aromatherapy, you combine the benefits of essential oils with the inherent goodness of a massage. In this form of aromatherapy, the essential oils is diluted with a carrier oil and applied directly to a person’s skin. The nutrients of the oil are then absorbed into the body.

In cosmetic aromatherapy, essential oils are used as skin, body, and hair care products.

Why You Want an Aroma

The reason why you want to get into aromatherapy is because of the health benefits it offers. Essential oils, because of their concentrated forms, contain a large portion of a plant’s health benefits. The aroma produced by the use of the oil is believed to relax both body and mind, triggering a whole host of beneficial processes. A basic principle of aromatherapy is that it stimulates the immune system.

Here are some of the uses of aromatherapy:

As an antiseptic. Antiseptics are substances that prevent microorganisms like bacteria and viruses from growing and reproducing. Some essential oils are capable of killing bacteria; others simply impede their growth.

As anesthesia. Anesthetics are substances that block the perception of pain and other sensation. Anesthetics, as you probably know, are often necessary in major medical procedures – it allows people to undergo surgery without undue stress. Be aware, however, that many anesthetics are so strong that they can knock you unconscious. Since some essential oils can be that powerful, you should definitely careful about the amount of oils that you use.

As an immunostimulator. Immunostimulators are substances that enhance and increase the activity of our immune system. Some essential oils can actually improve the capacity of the body to defend itself against various illnesses.

As a stimulant. In much the same way that music can stimulate our brain through the faculty of hearing, so can aromatherapy stimulate our minds through the olfactory sense. Aromatherapy relaxes the brain, allowing for a better flow of ideas and clarity of thought.
