Aromatherapy massage is massage therapy but with
highly concentrated plant oils, called essential oils, added to the
massage oil or lotion.
The nostrils are attached to a part of the
brain called the limbic system. The limbic system controls emotions and
influences the nervous system and hormones.
When you inhale
essential oil molecules, messages are transmitted to the limbic system
and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory,
digestion, and the immune system
