Aromatherapy massage at home
{ Posted on Sep 25 2007 by hans }
Before beginning an aromatherapy massage, there are number of steps that should be taken in order for the subject of the massage to derive full benefit from the treatment.
1. It is important to take a brief history from the patient in order to be able to select the correct oils. This will involve an assessment of his/her emotional state as physical complaints.
2. At least an hour should have elapsed since the last meal prior to receiving or giving a massage.
3. Make sure your clothing is loose and will not obstruct your movements.
4. Ensure that hands are clean and nails short.
5. Have some tissues ready, and make sure your oil is easily accessible.
6. Make sure your hands are warm before touching your subject.
