Aromatherapy and Massage Therapy for Your Wellness
Since you didn’t have diffusers back then, one of the main ways to use essential oils and enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy was through aromatherapy massage. These massages might be different than the ones you might want to offer at your wellness center, but these ancient civilizations still realized and attempted to utilize the holistic, healing properties of aromatherapy and essential oils.
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for certain benefits. Examples include lavender, orange and bergamot, and eucalyptus. These “aromas” are all plant-based derivatives from herbs, tree extracts, and flowers. Essential oils are extremely concentrated so to be used correctly they should be diluted into milder oils, humidifiers, or lotions.
