Massage Types And Adaptation Analysis

Other methods that were used before the invention of distillation include hand expression. Used only on the citrus fruits, the rinds were squeezed by hand until oil glands burst. It was then collected in a sponge and then put in a container.
There was also Enfleurage. This was the way of getting oils from flowers. Heads of flowers were placed on to a glass frame, covered in fat and were replaced until the fat was saturated with the essential oil. It was the extracted with alcohol which dissolved the oil. Then heated to leave just the oil. The method maceration is similar to enfleurage , flowers are crushed are placed into vegetable oil and kept warm to let the vegetable oil absorb the oil form the flowers (Paterson 2006).

Aroma oils can help
Essential oils and massage both have the ability to relax a client, reduce stress and they can both be stimulating and pain relieving (Paterson 2006).
There are also different types of massage. The typical aroma therapy massage is usually carried out with one or more essential oil, to suit the clients needs whether that is to be relaxed, feel uplifted or to be energised (Wong 2014), and leaving the oils to absorb in to the body will help the client to reach their aim. During the massage the moves would mostly consist of relaxing effleurage movements and petrissage, compared to a Swedish massage which would consist of harder tapotment movements and deeper manipulation of the body's tissues (Paterson 2006).
A massage could easily be adapted for a client by asking during the consultation if they would like areas to be worked on more or less or by using a harder or softer pressure, depending on what the client would want.
