The use of essential oils (which are extracted from herbs, flowers, resin, woods, roots) in body and skin care treatments is known as aromatherapy. Used as a healing technique for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, essential oils aid in relaxation, improved circulation, and help the healing of wounds. Specific essential oils are blended by the therapist and sometimes added to an oil or a lotion to be used during the massage. Each of the oils has unique characteristics and benefits. |
