Fact #1. Aromatherapy oils feature essential oils, which are extracted from parts of plants. They have myriad benefits, from relaxation and opening up the airways to loosening muscle tension. There are two ways to soak up the benefits of these oils: through the skin via a massage or bath, or through the olfactory system via a humidifier or diffusers.
Fact #2. You don't want to grab the first aromatherapy oil you see and douse it on your body. Those made for massage are typically diluted in another type of oil called a carrier oil, like almond or grape seed. This makes it more affordable per ounce, since you'll need a lot of it for massage purposes.
Fact #3. Almost everyone could use more massages in their life. Those receiving acute care after an injury, surgery, or illness could greatly benefit from regular massages. One study found that patients in the acute care unit of a hospital reported their average pain level had dropped by nearly 50 percent after just a 30 minute massage.
Fact #4. If you live with an elderly individual who needs regular care, incorporating massage into their daily routine can make typically trying tasks, like administering medication, easier. Extensive research has found that giving elderly individuals a massage can decrease agitation and make them less likely to resist help. The same research found that blood pressure levels and heart rate were lowered after a massage.
Fact #5. When you're planning the ultimate relaxing evening, complete with bath bombs and a glass of wine, there are some massage oils that are perfect for use in the tub. In fact, bathtub massages can be some of the best. The steam from the water will lift the essential oils up into your nose. You'll take them in through your skin and olfactory system for a deeply soothing experience.
