What is an aromatherapy massage?
This type of massage opens and increases the flow of energy because it combines the enjoyable, healing, and relaxing benefits of massage with the medicinal qualities of essential oils. You will leave peaceful, mentally more aware, uplifted and energized. Just breathing in the essential oil aroma stimulates the neurochemicals in the brain such as serotonin and endorphins. The nose is the only opening to the brain. The olfactory system (smell) bypasses the blood brain barrier to influence mood and emotions quickly. The aromatic molecules travel thru the nose on a subconscious level to stimulate the fear and trauma memory centers of the brain (pituitary and amygdala).
