Aromatherapy massage combines two therapeutic practices to create wonderful results. Aromatherapy is an ancient approach that provides a number of health and emotional benefits. Essential oils such as lavender, orange blossom, and peppermint offer unique effects to the senses.

Massage uses pressure and touch to offer healing and stress relief by stimulating the lymphatic, circulatory, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems. Below are more benefits of an aromatherapy massage, available at Jon Ric International Health and Wellness.

Combining aromatherapy with massage can truly relax your senses, helping to reduce and anxiety and tension you may be experiencing. The healing touch of massage releases endorphins. These are hormones known as “feel good chemicals” because they have natural pain relief and stress reduction properties.

Many people seek an aromatherapy massage specifically for the purpose of relieving their headache or migraine problems. Chronic headaches take a toll on the body and spirit. Massage therapy, combined with oils like peppermint or ylang ylang can help.
