Aromatherapy goes hand in hand with the belief that state of mind can also help with physical problems.
Massage has many benefits; improving circulation, toning the skin and relaxing muscles. There is nothing more powerful than the power of touch to heal the mind, body and spirit.
Hand Massage Technique
Place about a quarter size amount of lotion into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together (this warms the hands prior to giving a massage).
Start from the wrist and work towards the fingers gently massaging the lotion into the hands. Keep the hand sandwiched between your hands.
Follow the contours of the hand with gentle, stroking movements.
Gently, slowly squeeze and stretch the fingers one at a time from the left little finger over to the thumb.
Always rub “up” the fingers from the knuckle to the nail.
Gently massage each of the finger joints.
Use your thumb to stroke the palm, then the wrist in a circular motion adding a little pressure.
