Benefits of Aroma Oil Massage
As per aroma massage therapist, Joann Danella the sense of smell is the only one of the five senses straightly connected to the limbic lobe of the brain and the limbic lobe controls blood pressure, breathing, heart rate, memory, stress levels and hormone balance. So aroma oil massage is not only about smelling and feeling good, but it can have reflective effects both psychologically and physiologically.
Techniques
Aroma therapists apply diluted necessary oils directly to the skin during the massage, by using moderate movements and force. During aroma oil massage, the blood stream absorbs the therapeutic or medicinal properties of the necessary oils through the skin. The therapists could also spread essential oils with a specially made cold air diffuser which spreads the oil into the air.
Drenching a cotton ball with necessary oils and placing it in a glass dish by the massage table for the customer to breathe in is another technique used during the aromatherapy session. The therapist at times suggests aromatic oils for mixing in the shower or bath for recreational purposes or to ease tender muscles after the massage is performed.
Professional massage therapists dilute necessary oils with a carrier oil-generally olive oil, almond oil, and jojoba or grape seed oil and never apply them directly on the skin. Undiluted oils might cause skin irritations. Likewise, a professional therapist never works on areas that are injured, applies pressure or aroma oil massage to people with blood clots.
