Whole Body Healing with Aromatherapy

-


Aromatherapy is a delightful treatment for your senses and can yield incredible benefits for your mind and sense of well-being. At Jupiter Massage & Pilates aromatherapy can be incorporated into your massage with the use of highly concentrated plant oils, called essential oils, added to the massage cream These oils may be extracted from flowers, seeds, leaves, roots, or fruit and are formulated to work in harmony with the body.

 The inhaled aroma from these essential oils is widely believed to stimulate brain function. Essential oils can also be absorbed through the skin, where they travel through the bloodstream and can affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion, and the immune system, promoting whole body healing.

Because so many areas of the body can be stimulated through aromatherapy, there are many ways in which this technique can be beneficial. Aromatherapy massage is particularly suited to conditions involving stress or improving emotionally-related conditions such as insomnia, headaches, digestive disorders, PMS symptoms, and back pain. 


Aromatherapy can also positively affect your moods. Each essential oil has different healing properties. For example, some calm while others energize. Some of the essential oils we use and their properties are:
  • calming – chamomile, lavender
  • uplifting – ylang ylang, rose
  • relaxing - lavender, rose
  • energizing – peppermint, lemon
  • invigorating -  sweet orange, tangerine
  • cleansing – grapefruit, eucalyptus
  • decongesting – eucalyptus, tea tree


For your aromatherapy experience at Jupiter Massage & Pilates one or more essential oils will be selected based on what you need or desire and are mixed in with the massage cream. The subtle aroma of the essential oils will fill the air around you during the massage. Some of the oils such as peppermint can also lend a light tingling sensation to your skin making you feel refreshed. After the massage, your massage therapist may suggest a blend that you can use at home in between massage treatments. 

 This is definitely an indulgence that you will want to partake in. At Jupiter Massage & Pilates we make this easy to do as there is no extra charge for aromatherapy services! Simply tell your therapist which scent you prefer and enjoy. To book your aromatherapy experience call us at 561-529-2093 to set your appointment!

    Massage therapy is a holistic practice that recognizes the profound connection between the mind and body. It is not merely a physical manipulation of muscles but also a therapeutic technique that can positively impact mental and emotional  well-being. Here are a few ways in which massage can facilitate the mind-body connection: Stress Reduction : Massage has been shown to reduce the levels of stress hormones such as cortisol while increasing the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. By relaxing tense muscles and promoting deep relaxation, massage can help calm the mind and alleviate stress and anxiety.

Benefits of Swedish Massage

A Swedish Massage is a method of manipulating the body's muscles and connective soft tissue that has been proven to help relaxation, healing, and maintaining good health. It enhances blood flow, which improves the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the tissues' cells. Additionally, it improves lymph circulation, which has the added benefit of hastening the clearance of pathogens, toxins, metabolic waste, and the byproducts of tissue damage and inflammation. It is particularly beneficial for minimizing the negative consequences of stress.  Anyone who has problems from muscular strain will benefit from a Swedish massage. As the therapist relaxes the muscles the lymph system will have the ability to flush out all of the metabolic waste from the muscles. This will help you to heal faster. The Swedish massage can also be used as therapy for people who suffer from any type of debilitating joint disorder that causes them pain. This benefit of the Swedish massage works to increase th
