Ten Benefits of Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a medical science that uses the natural extracts called essential oils made from plants and flowers. It is an alternative therapy beneficial to muscle pains.
Ten Benefits of Aromatherapy
1) Aromatherapy Relieves Depression and Rejuvenates
By inhaling the scents of the aromatherapy, the brain is stimulated. Massaging also stimulates the nerves and muscles and through this stimulation it causes a positive effect on the glandular and nervous systems and on the entire body.
2) Relief from Pain
Massaging with aromatic oils have been successfully used for ages for relief of physical pains such as migraine, body aches, sprains and muscle problems. The essential oils applied on the skin go deep and yield quick recovery.
3) Aromatherapy in Pregnancy
Aromatherapy helps women greatly during pregnancy especially in relieving labor pain. These oils tackle depression, morning sickness and other pregnancy-related conditions. Dr. Rani of Apollo Hospitals says that foot-massage during delivery calms the mind and brings down anxiety.
4) Aromatherapy in Baby-baths
Aromatherapy has been traditionally used for baby-baths. It plays a vital role in massaging the baby with oils before bath and also adding oils to the bathing water. It purifies the atmosphere. It is great boon to mothers in teething problems, itchy conditions, etc.
5) Various Blends can be Prepared and Utilized
During massaging, we can utilize aromatherapy in several ways as various blends of the essential oils can be mixed and used for different purposes. For example, they can be used as diffusers, and fill the room of massaging with an expected aroma.
6) Self- Administrative
Aromatic essential oils blended in various carrier oils can be used by ourselves for our own massaging. For example, we can massage our forehead with eucalyptus oil when we have an headache.
7) Aromatherapy is a Preventive Health-care
Aromatherapy massage can be effective in the form of preventive health care. It can strengthen our body, detoxify it, increase blood circulation and boost the immune and the lymphatic systems. The essential oils stimulate, balance, soothe and calm our system.
8) Acts Directly
Essential oils applied directly on the skin reach the blood stream through massaging. While massaging with oils, they go directly to the spot where we need them most to work their healing magic. For example, when we have a sore muscle, we can use massage oils such as chamomile essential oil and rub or massage the sore area to soothe muscle cramps.
9) Various Effects of Aromatic Massaging
Sensory nerve endings in our body respond in different ways for various kinds of massages. Deep pressure while massaging stimulates body's systems such as immune, circulatory, and digestive systems.
10) Enabling Body' Self-defense System
Signals effected from touch nerve fibers take precedence over the chronic pain nerve fibers. The stimulation of touch also releases the brain chemicals known as endorphins that act as body's own painkillers enabling the body cure itself. This helps the body's own healing process to begin.
