Aromatherapy is a specific type of therapy that incorporates scented essential oils into a massage. The massage involves alternating between gentle and harder pressure while using a particular blend of essential oils. The essential oils are diluted before use and are applied along with lotion during the massage
Aromatherapy massage can have many benefits, including:
1. Emotional healing:

2. Pain relief:
Aromatherapy massage can help relieve pain from conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and chronic lower back pain.
