Some health condition such as Sciatica or Arthritis can cause chronic pain as a result. Swedish massage can be an effective method of managing the pain natural way. By working at the pain points , using the motions to increase the circulation will reduce muscle tension and ease the pain.

How Aromatherapy Works
Aromatherapy works by stimulating receptors in the nose responsible for smell, sending messages by olfactory cells to the part of the brain that controls the drive for survival, emotions, and instinct called the limbic system. The olfactory cells recognize scents as specific aromatic molecules that fit into receptors on these cells. Although not fully understood, scientists believe that these nerve signals’ action causes powerful mood changes in response to particular smells.
