This book aims to give health professionals a balanced and indepen dent overview of massage and aromatherapy. I have written it because, despite growing interest, there is a dearth of professional literature on this subject. This book aims to cover a number of topics which are under-represented in existing publications. These include: • scientific research in massage and aromatherapy; • the use of the therapies in medical settings; • the knowledge base of massage and aromatherapy; • professional and managerial issues; • safety. Understanding of these subjects is essential for any reasoned evalu ation of massage and aromatherapy. Yet this book is probably the first to provide information suitable for this task. At the current time of writing, almost all books on massage and aroma therapy have been written with the lay public in mind. The texts recommended to students and practitioners by the foremost schools and institutions are exactly the same as those available in health food shops as general introductions for prospective patients. Not surprisingly, such books generally fail to include in-depth discussions of professional issues.

The use of essential oils, which are concentrated botanical extracts, in aromatherapy is a form of complementary and alternative medicine that aims to improve overall health. Essential oils can be extracted from a wide variety of plant components, such as blossoms, leaves, bark, stems, and roots. Aromatherapy makes use of these essential oils in two main ways: inhaling their scent or massaging them into the skin. Aromatherapy is based on the premise that certain essential oils can engage the limbic system, a brain region involved in emotion regulation, behavior, olfactory perception, and long-term memory formation. Many people believe that this stimulation has beneficial impacts on their minds and bodies. To alleviate symptoms of stress, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, and muscle aches and pains, aromatherapy is frequently used in conjunction with conventional medical care. Mood boosting and relaxation are two further uses for it. Diffusing them in the air, using them topically (in a mixture with a carrier oil), or incorporating them into bathwater are all viable methods for utilizing essential oils. Although aromatherapy has shown promise for individuals, the scientific proof for its effectiveness in addressing certain health concerns is sometimes lacking. Aromatherapy is a complimentary treatment, but before you use it, it's best to talk to your doctor, especially if you're pregnant or have any preexisting health issues.
