“Massage Puts Back

In What Spring Cleaning  Takes Out”

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy -- sometimes called aroma therapy -- is described by its proponents as "the therapeutic use of the essential oils of plants." The word "essential" does not refer to nutritional value but to the volatile, aromatic components that are the "essence" of the plant. Essential oils are said to be highly concentrated substances extracted from flowers, leaves, stalks, fruits, and roots, and also distilled from resins. The oils are administered in small quantities through inhalation, massage, or other applications to the skin. Occasionally, a product is taken internally. The products include diffusers, lamps, pottery, candles, pendants, earrings, shampoos, skin creams, lotions, and bath salts, and shower gels. Health Foods Business estimated that the total of aromatherapy products sold through health-food stores was about $59 million in 1995 and $105 million in 1996.

 

Pleasant odors can be enjoyable and may enhance people's efforts to relax. However, there is no evidence that aromatherapy products provide the health benefits claims by their proponents. So I don’t believe in charging extra for the essential oils that I use as others do. 

 

Plus as I said before “ If you can’t eat it DON’T put it on your skin. “ And as there is no evidence that aromatherapy provides a health benefit there is no harm (unless you are allergic to a specific substance) and they can be ingested in small quantities. An advantage of using natural essential oils over cosmetic grade fragrances is that I only need a few drops to infuse the scent into the Massage Gel/Oil that I use for massage.

 

Here is a current list of Essential Scented Gels that you have to choose from:

 

Relax:  Lavender, Tangerine, Rose and Orange Oil.

Exotic: Patchouli, Cedar wood, Ylang Ylang

Clear: Eucalyptus, Wintergreen

Joy: Lavender, Vanilla

Calm: Sandalwood, Vetiver, Sage

Focus: Citrus, Cedar wood

Vitality:  Peppermint, Spearmint, Eucalyptus, Wintergreen, Orange, and                                        Grapefruit. (Proprietary Blend )

 

And of coarse I have an Unscented Gel and Oil If you are allergic to any of the substances above or simply do not want to smell like anything after the massage is over.
