Massage Therapy Benefits


Is getting a massage more than just a luxury?  Absolutely! 

Although many people still see a massage as an indulgence one can easily do without, there are a growing number of people who have experienced massage therapy benefits that would say otherwise.

With therapeutic essential oils – especially using the Raindrop Technique – these benefits are increased further.


Message Therapy Benefits

There are a number of basic benefits that come from massage therapy.  These include. . .

  • Improved circulation, which helps to eliminate wastes and supply nutrients to needed parts of the body.
  • A strengthened immune system as a result of improved lymph flow and the removal of toxins.
  • Better flexibility through the stretching of muscles.
  • Reduced stress and anxiety by bringing relaxation to the nervous system, which can lower blood pressure as well.
  • Improved healing in the aftermath of an injury or surgery.

In addition to these general benefits, massage therapy can also help the body overcome a number of specific conditions. 

For example, conditions such as ADD, back pain, carpel tunnel syndrome, depression, sports injuries, and many others have been helped by therapeutic massage.


Massage Therapy Benefits Enhanced by Essential Oils

Typically, when a massage is given, some kind of massage oil is used.  The quality of these oils can vary greatly, whether they be essential oils or a vegetable carrier oil.

When quality therapeutic oils are used, not only is the massage experience enhanced, but so are the benefits.

How is it that essential oils bring about greater massage therapy benefits?  Here are a few of the ways. . .

  • Better circulation in the brain.
  • Improved mental awareness.
  • Reduced inflammation.
  • Improved energy flow.
  • Emotional release.
  • Relief from stubborn viruses and bacteria.

These kind of benefits are especially found through the application of the Raindrop Technique. This is something I know from my own experience.

Raindrop Technique is a specialized application using therapeutic-grade essential oils with massage. 

Another excellent essential oil application worth learning about is the Vita Flex Technique.  We've used this one with great results.

If you go to a massage therapist, you may want to ask about incorporating therapeutic essential oils.  And, of course, you can also apply essential oils through any massage therapy techniques you use at home.
