Aroma-therapy has been used since ancient times for healing. Essential oils have powerful healing and therapeutic abilities. They enter the limbic system through the nose when we smell them and through the skin when they are used in massage. When used in massage, the healing essences enter the bloodstream within the hour of being used. Oils are chosen according to ailments. There are those that relieve tension headaches, muscle pain, PMS, peri-menopausal symptoms, anxiety, fibromyalgia, or depression. Some essential oils used in massage help deepen the breath, stimulate spiritual centers, balance the chakras, and help with grief. To help with any of the above symptoms or just to enjoy a deeply nurturing, relaxing massage this should not be missed.
