"Steps & Care of Aromatherapy Massage"

    Here are a few aromatherapy massage steps that can be made use of during a full body massage.

    The first step would be having a long talk with the massage receiver regarding their expectations from the massage and any problem that they would like to address. The massage receiver needs to be comfortable and should be comfortably lying on a massage table with a sheet or a towel spread over them. Alternatively, they can remain nude as well. The session would start with an effleurage massage beginning from the ankles and moving towards the hips and upwards. Make use of slow and strong strokes for massaging limbs. Then move over to the spine and start massaging gently. Make use of fingers, knuckles, palms, and the backs of hands for working out the tissues for relieving hidden tension. The next step would be to start massaging the hands and arms of the receiver. Make use of techniques like effleurage, compression, friction and petrissage. After this, the receiver would have to assume a face-up position. The receiver’s neck, shoulders, and head should be massaged carefully. Avoid sensitive areas like the throat. Move on to massaging the jaw line, ears, area behind the ears, bridge of the nose and the brows along with temples should be gently massaged. Usually, this massage is ended with a foot massage. Once you are done giving the massage, you will need to simply rinse off the oil from your hands.

    Regardless of whether or not it was a full body massage or a partial body massage, certain after-care tips should be observed. 

    Avoid having a bath for the next eight hours after the massage. The essential oils made use of usually take a while to penetrate the dermis and for entering the bloodstream. A bath will help in washing off the residual oils that might be left on the skin. Aromatherapy helps in detoxifying the body, therefore for deriving the best benefits, make sure that you haven’t consumed any alcohol or smoked any cigarettes. Give your body a chance to cleanse itself. If any phototoxic oils have been used in the massage, then do not expose your skin to any sunlight or any harsh lights. For deepening the cleansing benefits that aromatherapy offers, make sure that you are drinking plenty of herbal teas and water. Water is the best way for detoxifying your body. Avoid having rich and heavy foods. Let your body eliminate toxic substances and consume fresh fruits and vegetables that will help with this process. A session of aromatherapy massage will leave you feeling relaxed and tired, in a good way. Getting some rest after the massage will help in revitalizing your body.

If the receiver happens to be pregnant or suffers from any other severe health problem, then it is better to consult their doctor before giving this massage.
