The healing properties of essential oils.

The essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that can help with relaxation, pain, stress relief, muscle tension, and overall wellness. There are more than 90 types of essential oils, each with its own unique smell and potential health benefits. The essential oils smell nice and their “aromas” are all plant-based derivatives from herbs, tree extracts, and flowers. The aromatherapy massage can improve circulation, quality of sleep, skin condition, tissue healing and even digestion. The essential oils should be mixed with a carrier oil such as grapeseed, coconut or jojoba oil. 

Here are some popular essential oils:

• Lavender: calming and relaxing effects.

• Peppermint: relieving muscle tension and headaches, boosting energy.

• Eucalyptus: helps with respiratory issues and provides a cooling sensation.

• Chamomile: calming the skin and reducing stress.

• Ginger: helps reduce nausea.

• Sandalwood: used to calm nerves and help with focus.

• Bergamot: used to reduce stress and improve skin conditions like eczema.

• Ylang Ylang: can help with stress and anxiety, depression or anger. It is also considered as an aphrodisiac.

• Lemon: can increase happiness and improve concentration.

• Sage oil: has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, can help with digestive problems, works as stress relief and mood enhancement.

The essential oils should be used with caution as some people can experience allergic reactions to essential oils: rash, hives, itching, sneezing, respiratory discomfort.

What is the advantage of chair massage vs table massage?

Often, people ask me what is better: chair massage or table massage? Of course, it depends on individual needs and circumstances. The chair massage is performed with the person seated in the ergonomic massage chair, with face, hands and legs support. The table massage is a more traditional and luxurious way of massage. However, I believe chair massage has greater advantages compared to table massage. I would like to highlight the following pros:

• No oil spills

• Minimal space for setup

• No face-down lying

• Stay dressed

• Chair can be set up and packed up within a minute

• All body parts are supported when you sit in the chair

• The massage therapist has the best access to your neck, shoulders, and back

In conclusion, I would point out that chair massage can be easily set up in places such as offices, events, and public spaces. Chair massages can be performed in shorter sessions (often 10-30 minutes), making them easily fit into busy schedules.
