Today we witness a true and proper rebirth of the practice of massage with essential oils. Aroma massage, the most ancient form of aromatherapy can be a great help in combating problems of our time. It is particularly useful for reducing stress and tension, and it is worth taking time to enjoy the pleasure of a fragrant massage. The more we realise that our problems have psychosomatic origins the more we appreciate remedies which treat both parts of the person; the spiritual and the physical. In this sense massage is an ideal remedy in that it is good for the body and soul. Essences make of massage an integrated therapy that acts upon body , soul, and spirit. Thus an aroma massage is not limited to treating symptoms, rather it acts upon the origins of the illness. On the other hand aroma-massage is not just an auxiliary therapy but rather something which helps us to feel well During the massage the essences must penetrate the skin in order to exercise the desired effect on muscles and tissues. Once the essences have passed through the barrier of the skin via the lymph and the microcirculation of the blood they enter into the circulation. This results when the essences, mixed with oil, are massaged into the skin slowly, with the palm of the hand. The heat of the hands also helps the process. It follows that in aroma-massage one uses mostly slow caressing movements. A massage has many effects: it relaxes and distends the muscles, tones the connective tissue, improves the tone and stimulates the renewal of the skin, liberates energies etc.
Body Scrub Overexposure to either heat or cold can cause the skin on your body to become dry, scaly, flaky and itchy. Body scrubs remove the dead skin making room for new skin that is silky soft. Our skin is composed of multiple layers, each with its own specific task. The outer layer, or dead zone has the debris of days gone by. Showers and baths clean away surface grime, but the dead zone remains as a rough, flaky layer. This layer must be removed with an abrasive material usually a scrub, polish or glow. Indulge your body and let your senses come alive Body Scrubs are an excellent way to pamper yourself.
