Evidence and research
It has been well documented over the years, the evidence that proves and shows the therapeutic benefits of massage and aromatherapy for anxiety relief and increasing the psychological wellbeing of patients with chronic illness, especially for the short term.
It has been also well documented that massage is effective to reduce the short-term effects of anxiety in particular.
On the other hand, aromatherapy has been proven to be effective in many people with dementia, however more studies need to be done in this regard.
On targeted areas such as the abdomen, massage has been effective in alleviation of colon disease such as chronic constipation.
According to a systematic reviews study done in 2008 by Fellowers et al, body massage and aromatherapy have granted short-term benefits to the psychological wellbeing of a patient with cancer, with their anxiety level having dropped together with its effect on the human body. Aromatherapy has been found to enhance the beneficial effects of massage.

Aromatherapy is a useful complementary therapy that I would fundamentally use to structure my massage treatment provision. It consists of essential oils that are derived from plants and have distinctive quality and healing properties. Originally extracted from plants and play a vital role in plants' survival against nature and animal effects, these oils also promote their health and reproduction. In humans, essential oils protect from microbes and pass through to the dermis and bloodstream to create the desired therapeutic results intended with their usage.
Essential Oil Therapy for Any Health Condition
I use single aromatherapy oil and oil blends depending on my client's needs. Samples of what I started with are: Wild Orange, peppermint, On Guard, Melaleuca, Lavender, Deep Blue, Balance and Aroma Touch Blend. Depending on availability, indication of use and mutual preference a selection can be made.
Wild Orange is known for inducing an uplifting effect, perhaps when you're feeling a little tired or need to rest a little bit. Adding to the touch Orange essential oil has healing powers to the body and spirit. A variety of essential oils can be added to the blend to create the desired outcome of your visit, such as the following:
- Sweet almond oil
- Chamomile oil
- Lavender oil
- Eucalyptus oil
- Bergamot essential oil
Precautions with the use of essential oils to prevent adverse effects: they are not preferred to be used during pregnancy or lactation period. Citrus blends are not to be exposed to sunlight after their placement on skin. Sensitive areas in the body (eyes, ears, nose) and body orifices are to be avoided.
