The inhalation of essential oils, along with the gentle massage techniques, can help calm the mind, soothe the nervous system, and induce a state of deep relaxation. The pleasant aroma of the oils can also create a soothing and comforting ambiance during the massage session.
Mood enhancement: Essential oils used in aromatherapy massage have the potential to affect mood and emotions. Certain oils, such as lavender, chamomile, or bergamot, are known for their calming and uplifting properties. They can help reduce anxiety, improve mood, and provide a sense of well-being.
