Calm Your Body and Mind with an Aromatherapy Massage

Most of the time, we can experience times when we think we need to reset and want to stand still for a few days. 

So, what do you do in moments like these? Activities such as escaping, taking time off from work and relaxing at home, having dinner with friends can help you feel good. Creating “me time” for yourself, when you take care of yourself, pamper yourself, and take time to do what you want helps build your self-esteem and feel good. So what can you do? Try aromatherapy massage…

What is aromatherapy massage?

In fact, natural essential oils come into play in aromatherapy massage, which is similar to normal massages . For example, if you use eucalyptus oil, you can experience a detox moment where you are free from anxiety and worries. Caffeine gives you energy, while lavender helps both relax your body and reduce your stress. Massages with these oils are especially preferred by those who want to revitalize the body, nourish the skin and reset the mind.

Benefits of aromatherapy massage

Essential oils used in massage can help detox your cells , refresh your mind, give a sense of calmness, and revitalize your mind and body by reducing muscle tension. In addition, these oils provide intense moisture to dry and flaky skin.

How to prepare for a massage and how to do it?

First of all, if you have any problems, swelling or disability in your body, it would be beneficial to leave the massage job to the experts. If you are going to do a self-massage, make sure you are not allergic to the natural oils you will use. After choosing the natural oils you will use, you can create an atmosphere for yourself with a few candles, incense and your favorite music. First, try massaging your neck with some oil in your hands. Do not apply too much pressure, just rub gently to avoid doing anything wrong. You can move up from the neck to your hair roots. You can then slowly move onto your shoulders. You can also apply circular movements for them. One of the most important places is the hands, feet and wrists. Make sure to massage these parts as well. You can apply some pressure to these areas, especially the wrists.These areas that we use the most during the day need special attention. You can complete the massage by rubbing the tops of your feet with both hands and making light pressure on the back of your fingers.

Before we talk about the changes you will experience, let us remind you that you need to take a shower. A warm shower will fully support your body's relaxation, and also thoroughly cleanse your body of oils so that the oils, no matter how natural they are, will not cause any allergic reaction to your body

You will want to increase your water intake after the massage to flush out the toxins from the body. Make sure to drink plenty of water. You may also need to use the toilet more often for 12 to 24 hours after the massage. This is due to the stimulation of digestion and the onset of diuretic effects. Of course, digestive regulation will also help your body detox and get rid of bloating.
