What is Aromatherapy Massage..?
Aromatherapy massage is a truly holistic & soothing therapy, taking into
account the mind, body and spirit of the person seeking treatment. It
combines the use of essential oils and therapeutic massage. The oils
are gently absorbed into the
bloodstream, providing a balancing and toning effect on the body and its
systems, which will promote improved health and well-being on many
levels - spiritual, emotional, mental and physical.

Origin's of Aromatherapy Massage...
Aromatherapy was recorded
in both Egypt and India more than 4,000 years ago. The Egyptians used
aromatic plants to create massage oils, medicines, embalming
preparations, skin care products, fragrant perfumes and cosmetics. Plant
aromatics were also utilized in India as part of the ancient medical
practice known as Ayurveda.
The term "aromatherapie"
was coined by the French chemist Rene Maurice Gattefosse in 1928.
The word is derived from "aroma" meaning fragrance or smell and
"therapy" meaning treatment.
