Aromatherapy



Aromatherpy for Healing

Aromatherapy is healing; therapeutic. Aromas can be used in a variety of settings to promote relaxation and overall well being.

For instance, did you know that aromas created from the dried seeds of celery can promote restful sleep? Fresh gardenia promotes love and peace and honeysuckle can promote weight loss. Depending on your intentions for healing, aromatherapy can be a useful adjunct toward good health.

We're offering this useful book as a massage enhancement through our affiliation at Llewellyn's on line book store. This useful book even includes a history of magical perfumery! It's inexpensive and invaluable for anyone who wishes to add a new dimension of health and well being to life.

Massage and Aromatherapy




One of the nicest ways to use aromatherapy is during a massage. Diffuse aromas in the room and apply your choice of stimulating, energizing or relaxing oil to the skin. Soothe away the stress of the day, improve circulation and aid healing using massage oils, creams or lotions.

Nurses Relax with Aromatherapy and Massage

The results of a new study using aromatherapy, massage and new age music to relieve stress at work has been recently published in the Journal of Clinical Nursing. The combination seems to have had a positive effect on the stress level of emergency room nurses. The findings show that the nurses calmed down after the session. It’s not known for certain if the aromatherapy and massage, just taking a break or listening to soothing music was responsible for the reduction in anxiety. Further studies should define the results more clearly.

All of the nurses had moderate to high levels of anxiety prior to receiving aromatherapy. The nurses chose their favorite fragrance, listened to New Age Music through headphones and got a shoulder, neck, back and scalp massage while sitting in a chair. Aromas were spritzed over and around the head. Thirty nurses were involved - only 8% reported moderate to high anxiety after receiving a massage. The fragrance menu consisted of either rose, lavender, lime, and an “ocean breeze” mix of lavender, ylang ylang, bergamot, and patchouli scents.

Lavender scent is known to promote a sense of calm and well being. Try massaging your hands, arms and legs with our lavender massage cream anytime you’re feeling the stress of the day.
