Choose one of many Young Living Essential Oils to enhance your massage experience.
Aromatherapy massage is massage therapy with essential oils (highly concentrated plant oils) added to the massage oil or lotion. Inhaling essential oils through the nose is thought to promote beneficial changes in the mind and body by affecting the limbic system (a region of the brain known to influence the nervous system). Essential oils are also believed to be absorbed through the skin and may help with muscle and joint-related conditions or for physical or mental stress.
Different oils are said to have different properties, for example, some calm while others energize. Here are some widely used essential oils and their purported properties:
- Calming – chamomile, lavender, geranium
- Uplifting – ylang-ylang, clary sage, rose, neroli
- Energizing – rosemary
- Decongesting – eucalyptus, pine, tea tree
Your massage therapist may pick oils based on your symptoms.
