Life is busy. I mean
REALLY busy. Between work, running the
kids and other family and non-family obligations, life can sometimes seem
downright overwhelming; a whirlwind of emotional and physical stimulation
flooding all of our senses. This
overload can lead to feelings of stress and depression which in turn can
manifest into lethargy and difficulty sleeping.
According to Sandra Nichols, Director of the Spa at Honor’s
Haven Resort, “Aromatherapy is capable of bypassing the conscious mind,
effectively calming our emotions on a deeper level”, which can help us to turn off the outside world. This is achieved, explains Nichols, due the
fact that “the human brain processes scents through the olfactory system to the
Limbic system, which is primarily responsible for our emotional life and the
formation of memories.”
“Receiving a massage infused with the right essential oils
not only influences our emotions” says Nichols, “but can also provide us with a
host of medical benefits.” Some of these
benefits include:
·
Boosting our immune and respiratory systems
·
Relieving pain; some essential oils contain
anti-inflammatory properties
·
Supporting longevity
During the month of March, Sandra and her staff invite you
to wash away your winter stress with an aromatherapy treatment for your mind
body and spirit. For more information or
