Since three to four years ago, we started to teach aromatherapy massage. Over these years, we had taught more than thousands students, and they come from different industries. No matter how hardship do they have in the job, they pay lots of attention in the classroom. They listen carefully and practice seriously. Everyone love massage and they enjoy the class so much. .
It is glad to see that aromatherapy massage is getting popular among ordinary people. People know that it is not only for relaxation, but also has other healing properties.
Massage is one of the popular and common application of essential oils. Nowadays, many beauty salons claimed that they are aromatherapy massage. However, aromatherapy massage is different from simply using essential oils and massage oil on the body; aromatherapy massage is more than that.
How to differentiate a real aromatherapy massage from other kind of massages?
Aromatherapy massage emphasized the caring and the total wellbeing of a person; it is the holistic healing which takes care of our body and soul together. It utilizes many different massage techniques, including acupressure, lymphatic massage, neuromuscular massage, neurolymphatic reflex points, neurovascular reflex points, polarity therapy, reflexology, superficial reflex techniques, Swedish massage, trigger points. These massages participate in different body function, such as autonomic nervous system, lymphatic system, circulation, Qi, muscle etc.
Before massage, aromatherapist will have a consultation with a client and understand clientˇ¦s physical and mental healthiness. Accordingly, they will choose a specific essential oil blending for the client.
There is no other kind of massage which can cover all the body functions like aromatherapy. You must choose a proper aromatherapy carefully and enjoy all those benefits.
