Many of us deal with stress on a daily basis, and while the
causes and levels at which we experience this stress may differ, I think we can
all agree that our stress levels build as the holiday season approaches;
wreaking havoc on our sleep patterns, patience, concentration and decision
making ability. Of course, there’s
nothing set in stone that says we have to surrender our sanity in the pursuit
of “a pair of Hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots”.
According to Sandra Nichols, Manager of the Spa at
Honor’s Haven Resort, “While the best way to avoid holiday stress would be to completely
avoid stress triggers like long lines, traffic and crowds, this just isn't realistic. Fortunately, derailing the surplus of physical symptoms, like
insomnia, high blood pressure and tension that can accompany holiday stress, is
as easy as making a spa appointment.”

So what exactly is Aromatherapy Massage, and how does it
work? Aromatherapy Massage is the
practice of adding essential oils derived from flowers, bark, stems, leaves,
and roots to a base oil to enhance the psychological and physical well-being of
a client during a massage. The
combination of inhalation (to stimulate brain function) and skin absorption
(whole body systemic healing and pain relief) contributes to the improvement of
the mind, body, and soul triad.
