Aromatherapy massage is a form of alternative medicine that uses natural plant materials (also known as essential oils) and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of positively enhancing or altering a person’s mind, mood, cognitive function and/or physical health.
The nostrils are attached to the brain’s ‘Limbic System’, which controls the body’s nervous system, emotions and hormones. When a person inhales the aroma from the essential oils, signals are then sent to the Limbic System. These can then positively affect a variety of both physical and psychological elements of a person’s body, including heart rate, the immune system, blood pressure and stress levels.
In aromatherapy massage, these essential oils are added to massage oils or lotions. Specific oils are used and often combined by the massage therapist to help alleviate the problem, dependent on the client’s needs.
Who Can Benefit From Aromatherapy Massage?
The aromatherapy essential oils and the massage techniques help to restore a person’s mental, physical and emotional state of mind.
I have performed aromatherapy massage for a number of years, and developed a significant reputation throughout Northern Ireland. This work has often involved assisting sports-people with their physical well-being and injury recovery, leading me to work with many world champions and some of Ireland’s finest boxers’ pre-fight preparations.
I provide Aromatherapy Massage in Belfast and throughout NI. This type of therapy is suitable for all ages; however anyone under the age of 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
