Aromatherapy massage oil is something that is commonly used as a combination for massage therapy as well as acupressure therapy. There are certain conditions and afflictions that are not advisable for use with many forms of aromatherapy massage oils. The reason for this avoidance is due mainly to the many different benefits and effects that one gets from the herbs and botanicals used for most of the aromatherapy massage oil mixtures. One needs to be aware of the benefits and dangers of using some specific aromatherapy massage oils in order to be safe and healthy. Most of the oils used for aromatherapy massages are not applicable for use in an aromatherapy oil burner.
Warming Up And Cooling Down
Among the many benefits of using aromatherapy massage oil, warming up and cooling down are just a few. Some muscular conditions and afflictions may need the assistance of a warmer in order for the muscles to recover from condition. Sesame oil is one such oil that can encourage heat to form in the place where the oil is applied. The same goes for peppermint and eucalyptus oils which are great for massaging sore and overused muscles.
Arnica is great for cooling down as well as sandalwood essential oils.
Treating Muscle And Joint Pains
Aromatherapy essential oils are also used to give relief to people who suffer from muscle and joint pain. Common conditions are arthritis, rheumatism, cramps and others. Many aromatherapy massage oils are very effective in reducing inflammation as well as loosening tight muscles that can be the cause of cramps. Sore muscles will also benefit from the massage itself while being calmed by the scent that goes with the aromatherapy massage oil. The kneading from the massage itself does wonders for sore and tires muscles. Combined with the aromatic elixir that is aromatherapy massage oil, there are more benefits for the person.

Creating The Mood
Aromatherapy massage oil can also be used to set the mood or ambience. A person being massaged usually seeks to be more relaxed and calm, which is where aromatherapy massage oil enters. Many of the aromatherapy oils available in the market today cater to this purpose. Aromatherapy massage oil can be applied on the skin for the essences to permeate the skin and work their magic as well as be a stimulant to the sense of smell of the individual being massaged. Our sense of smell is one of the primary senses that we use to help us go through life.
