What Is Aromatherapy Massage

31 December 2019

Aromatherapy massage is used for many different reasons including relaxation, pain management, and improved mood. There are many popular essential oils that are used in aromatherapy which include bergamot, cedarwood, chamomile, eucalyptus, geranium, ginger, lavender, lemon, orange, peppermint, and tea tree, just to name a few. Massage therapy has been found to provide a decrease in physical aches and pain and improving mood. When adding essential oils for an aromatherapy massage, this can potentially enhance the positive effects. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has found that aromatherapy has shown benefits when used for issues such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, nausea, and pain.

Many people can benefit from having aromatherapy massage, though they may not realize it. If you experience any of the following, then aromatherapy would be a great option for you:
