Essential oils
Aromatherapy Massage in Cairns – Essentials oils
How they work
Essential oils are composed of tiny molecules which are easily dissolved in alcohol, emulsifiers and, particularly fats. This allows them to penetrate the skin easily and work into the body by mixing with the fatty tissue.
As these highly volatile essences evaporate they are also inhaled, thus entering the body via the millions of sensitive cells that line the nasal passages. These send messages straight to the brain, and affect the emotions by working on the limbic system, which also controls the major functions of the body. Thus in an aromatherapy treatment the essential oils are able to enhance both your physical and psychological wellbeing at the same time.
Each oil has a distinct chemical composition which determines its fragrance, colour, volatility and of course, the ways in which it affects the system, giving each oils its unique set of beneficial properties.
Quality Control
Once the flowers and plants are harvested they are usually processed and stored quickly to preserve the freshness. Climate, soil and altitude can all affect the character of an oil French lavender, for example, is famous for its rich aroma but, like wine, the quality can vary from year to year.
Always buy pure and natural essential oils as synthetic clones or adulterated oils do not act on the body in the same way and many of the beneficial properties are lost. The best qulity oils may be expensive but they are always worth the extra cost.
A complete aromatherapy massage takes just under an hour from top to toe. It is important to find out before massage about physical aches and pains, in particular back injuries, recent operations or whether the person you are massaging is in an ’emotional’ state of mind at the time.
Choosing the Essential Oils
Aromatherapists never start a massage immediately. In order to provide the most effective treatment, the therapist has to ascertain the state of mind and body of the individual, and establish whether there are any specific problems to attend to. Is the problem physical? Is it mental? Is it a combination of both? To help them to treat a wide variety of complaints, aromatherapists have many oils at their fingertips, but they never mix or use them until they have worked out a prescription for the receiver’s individual needs.
Mixing the oils is a trained art, yet there are simple recipes you can use at home to deal with specific problems from muscular aches and pains to headaches and stress.
With potent essential oils it is far better to use less, rather than more, so if in doubt, start the massage technique with a base oil like sweet almond and add two or three drops of just one essential oil. Lavender, rosemary and geranium are good all-purpose oils, or use chamomile for particularly sensitive skin.
