Having an aromatherapy massage really does help to relax the body and mind. They have become extremely popular over the past decade, and these days more and more people are turning to them to treat emotional problems, as well as just to relax.

What an aromatherapy massage involves
An Aromatherapy massage is done using Essential oils and is usually done by a trained practitioner. Usually, you will have a consultation before you actually have the massage. This is because the practitioner needs to see which kind of oils will be better for you.

There are generally two types of aromatherapy massages. These are:

• Full body massage
  The full body aromatherapy massage is a lot lighter than a Swedish massage. The whole idea of the full body massage is to help the person to relax as much as possible. By massaging the whole body, it will give you an overall sense of well being and by the end; your mind should be completely calm.
• Aromatherapy back massage
  An aromatherapy back massage is just like the full body one, only obviously it focuses more on the back. This is actually the most popular form of aromatherapy massage, as the back is the main place where tension builds.

A lot of people can feel uncomfortable with the full body massage because they are uncomfortable with their shape. However, the therapists have seen plenty of body shapes and they are not there to make you feel uncomfortable, so you should never let that put you off!
