For those who have undergone aromatherapy, the reviving touches of a gentle massage cannot be easily forgotten, and the soothing effect it leaves on your body will be treasured for quite some time. Indeed the aroma associated with it makes it an even more pleasant memory.
Aromatherapy combines the essence of natural oils with special techniques of massaging. Massaging even in its simple form is used to alleviate a lot of symptoms such as relieving tension, relaxing muscles, improving circulation, relaxing the mind, soothing agitated nerves and so on. Combined with the soothing effect of essential fragrant oils especially those that match the client's personality, lifestyle and the desired outcome, it can be a highly rejuvenating experience.
Massaging techniques include different forms of touches. They include palm circles where the body area is circled using both hands one over the other in a particular manner, whereas lifting as well as knuckling include both hands used in conjunction in different motions and application of pressure. Thumb strokes are another technique that can be used on the upper back, but are only to be used carefully on the lower back. Twists are yet another technique that is utilized for the back including the hip area also. The basic rule of all massaging techniques is to use slow, gentle and rhythmic movements. Indeed massages are well known to have a lot of positive physiological effects on the body.
Due to the high demand for trained personnel who are competent in performing these techniques accurately, a lot of spa academies have sprung up all around the world. One such renowned spa academy in India is the Ananda Spa Institute which has received regional recognition with the prestigious Crystal Awards Asia Pacific for the best spa academy for the year 2010.
