Aromatherapy

The use of essential oils has been a long history. It is originated from France. Aromatherapy is the treatment or prevention of disease by use of essential oils. Two basic mechanisms are offered to explain the effects from aromatherapy. One is through the olfactory system, aroma can influence the brain. The other is the direct pharmacological effects of the essential oils. Thus it can be administered through smelling and topical. In the English-speaking world, practitioners tend to emphasize the use of oils in massage.

Aromatherapy has been incorporated into mainstream medicine. In France some essential oils are regulated as prescription drug, and thus administered by a medical doctor. French doctors use a technique called the aromatogram to guide their decision on which essential oil to use. First the doctor cultures a sample of infected tissue or secretion from the patient. Next, the culture is incubated and grow. Then the antiseptic properties of different essential oils are tested to find out the most effective one against that culture.


Swedish Massage

Swedish massage was started by a Swedish physiologist, Per Henrik Ling, in the 1700's. Since then, it has been very popular around the world. Swedish massage is the foundation of other types of massage such as sports, deep tissue and aromatherapy massage.

Swedish massage uses a firm but gentle long stroke to improve the circulation. The therapists often use massage oil to facilitate the movement. The benefits include shortening recovery time from muscular strain by flushing lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic waste away. It also stretches the ligaments and tendons. It can also help to stimulate the skin and the nervous system. Swedish massage helps to reduce stress, mentally and physically.

These are the classical techniques of Swedish massage:

Effleurage: long and gliding strokes,
Petrissage: lifting and kneading of the muscles,
Friction: firm, deep and circular rubbing movements
Vibration: shaking of muscles.
