Aromatherapy Massage

An Aromatherapy Massage utilises a blend of specific essential oils to naturally ease muscle tension and relax the body. In our fast paced, stressful lives we are constantly utilizing our sympathetic nervous system. It is this part of our nervous system that engages our adrenals and releases adrenaline into our body to prepare for flight or fight scenarios.  This system was meant to only be engaged during a temporary situation that would be alleviated by the action intended: fighting or fleeing. Unfortunately our current stress is not temporary and we do not have a physical outlet for this body reaction; we rarely fight or flee. As such our adrenals are continually on the go and our bodies often “forget” how to slow down. Massage engages our parasympathetic nervous system and as such shuts down the sympathetic nervous system. This is the part of the nervous system that is responsible for allowing the body to rest, digest and heal. Hence, while the sympathetic nervous system is engaged the body cannot heal. Massage allows the body to relax and to heal itself.
