Here at A Mindful Root, we love using aromatherapy oils during our massage treatments. Aromatherapy offers many different benefits, and as well as being used during your treatment, you can also incorporate these oils into your everyday life. Let’s take a look at the benefits of aromatherapy and why we choose to use these oils during our treatments.
Improved Sleep
For anyone that struggles with insomnia, aromatherapy can help to relax you further during your massage. The scents that are used are all natural, and we particularly enjoy using lavender with anyone who struggles to relax. You’ll notice your sleep quality improves dramatically, and you’ll find that you may want to add a lavender aromatherapy spray into your nighttime routine moving forward.
Reduces Anxiety
Anxiety is a condition that so many of us suffer from today, and aromatherapy is a great tool for minimizing these feelings. Lavender and rose are lovely scents to use for reducing anxiety, but you may have a personal favorite that you enjoy using. You’ll find that when your mind is racing with anxious thoughts, a calming scent can relieve any stress or agitation you are feeling.
Minimizes Pain
On top of the stress and wellbeing benefits of aromatherapy, you’ll find that it can actually have a positive effect on your body. Using aromatherapy oils during your massage can relieve your sore joints and muscles even further and relax your tense muscles. Many people use aromatherapy for this reason during labor, as it eases the pain and discomfort women commonly feel.
Treats Headaches
Anyone who struggles with headaches and migraines will find that aromatherapy can help to relieve tension even further. The right scent can reduce your headache almost instantly and take your mind off the pain you were previously feeling. Different people may find certain scents to be more effective for this reason, so try out a variety of options to find what’s best for you.
Energizing
While aromatherapy is often associated with relaxation, many of our clients are also looking to feel more energized from their massage. We can select the right aromatherapy oil to help uplift you and make you feel more energetic following your treatment. Peppermint and lemon are popular options that can reduce fatigue and boost your energy levels.
A Safe and Effective Treatment Add-On
Essential oils are safe to use on your skin and offer a natural addition to any treatment. These oils are extracted from plants and then distilled to create the oil that will be used. Aromatherapy oils can either then be applied directly to the skin or added to massage oil to use all over your body. During your treatment, we’ll ensure that aromatherapy is used safely to offer you a relaxing and beneficial add-on to your massage.
We offer aromatherapy for just a $5 upgrade with any treatment, and we believe that using these natural plant extracts can help to improve your health and well-being. You’ll find this upgrade is well worth adding on and can help to soothe your body and mind during your next massage at A Mindful Root.
