Enhancing Massage with the Power of Orange Essential Oils
When you are wanting to enhance a relaxing massage experience, one effective tool that can get overlooked is the use of essential oils during treatment. In this article I look specifically at the positive effects of orange essential oil and support my arguments with scientific studies. Aromatic essential oils are natural plant extracts. They have been used for centuries by millions or people from many different cultures all over the world. So, let’s look in detail at orange aromas and offer evidence of their therapeutic properties alone and when you combine then with a soothing massage. We investigate the many benefits including boosting the relaxation experience, alleviating stress and anxiety symptoms more easily and reducing the effects of fatigue.

Boost to Massage Relaxation
Orange essential oil has good evidence for it as a tool in boosting your relaxation. Nomura S et al (2017) tell us that orange aromas inhibit cardiac stress response. Inhibiting the stress response in these turns means a lowering of the heart rate which is often a sign of relaxation. Also, Jafarzadeh M et al (2013) tells us that pulse rate was lowered and cortisol levels in children during dental treatment was reduced by orange aromas. Cortisol is a hormone released by your adrenal glands when you are stressed. As you can imagine a dentist can do that to most of us. Moreover, both of these studies provide evidence that orange can help you relax more and lower your heart rate. These are both positive side-effects of massage as well. So, a massage with orange essential oils can be an ultimately relaxing treatment for you. To book your treatment today text 07979 814388
Orange Essential Oils Massage Can Reduce Stress & Anxiety
Stress and anxiety symptoms can also be reduced with a massage using orange essential oils. Teixeira-Silva F et al (2012) tells us that their subjects exposed orange aromas during anxiety stimulating events showed less signs of tension and more calm. More to the point the high levels of anxiety and stress or woman during labour cannot be denied. Positively Mortazavi h et al (2015) tells us orange oils aromatherapy is a non-intrusive and useful method of helping many women get control of their anxiety during childbirth. Massage is a well-known treatment for the symptoms of both stress and anxiety. It has been used for millennia to help people who suffer from these issues. If both of these treatments separately can help, just imagine the compound benefits of doing massage with aromatic orange essential oils.

Fatigue Symptoms Can Be Reduced
Many people who suffer from chronic fatigue can be helped by orange essential oil massage. Fatigue is an extreme tiredness and lack of energy which effects your activities day to day. If you can imagine, this issue can be exacerbated by those who have to undergo dialysis. However, S Ahmady et al (2019) tells us orange oil aromatherapy can be an effective way to reduce the symptoms of fatigue. In their study of 90 dialysis patients who were suffering badly, it was found orange aromas were effective. If you were to add this to the positive effects of uplift and improved wellbeing massage can offer, you have a great holistic treatment with multiple positive benefits. There are also a number of specific strokes that can increase the feeling of uplift and can energise you. This happens by pushing away deoxygenated blood through veins. This must then be replaced by oxygenated blood from your heart, via your lungs, which is full of nutrients required to move freely. So, we can have reduced fatigue via orange with uplift and more energy from massage. That’s a win win if ever I head one!
