After a sports session, a long day at work or a romantic weekend, what could be more pleasant than a massage with organic vegetable oils? As a daily skin care treatment or to stretch the muscles, a massage is never too much! It is often practiced using organic vegetable oils, which promote a fluid and relaxing massage and offer your body a real moment of relaxation.
If kneading the painful points is the oldest healing art, organic vegetable oils complement this treatment, which also have multiple virtues. But what are the benefits of a wellness massage? Which vegetable oils to choose and why? Some are useful against the loss of desire in men, others are recommended for the face, body or hair ... Discover how to choose them.
Why is massage good for your health?
The origin of this therapeutic technique dates back to antiquity. Very old Chinese manuscripts have been found 3000 years before J-C, and evoke the use of massage. Massage was recommended to speed up convalescence, regenerate the body and relieve pain after gladiatorial games.
Today, massage is very present in alternative medicine. The need to take care of oneself has returned to the heart of our daily lives, due to our hectic lifestyle. Beyond the relaxing benefits it provides in the moment, massage also has healing virtues, capable of improving comfort in the long term.
Numerous clinical studies have made the observation. Gestures can reduce joint stiffness, chronic neuromuscular pain, eliminate digestive problems, soothe headaches, stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, reduce anxiety and stress, and strengthen the immune system. Indeed, when tensions and blockages are eliminated, the energy flow circulates much better in the body and the body is therefore able to defend itself. It also allows for better resistance to stress, and therefore prevents illness.
Massage with organic oils, an anti-inflammatory power
Moreover, massage with organic oils is capable of generating biochemical changes in the body. These are propagated and resonate in the heart of the cells themselves, at the level of their DNA. Indeed, the pressures induced by the massage are detected by sensors in the cell membrane. In the form of molecular signals, these sensors transmit the information inside the cells. This process results in the activation of genes, some of which neutralize inflammation.
That's why getting a massage when you suffer from muscle aches and pains is almost a miracle solution. Have you ever noticed this? After a sports session, you can try any recovery product, without success. Only rest and a good massage with organic oils are able to stretch and relax the muscles, but also to stop the inflammatory process. The next morning when you wake up, the results are obvious!
What is the interest of vegetable oils during a massage?
The vegetable oils used in massage therapy promote the gliding of the hands over the skin. Indeed, without vegetable oils, the gesture can sometimes rub on the skin and make this moment almost unpleasant. With vegetable oils, the maneuver is thus more comfortable for both the person being massaged and the masseur. Indeed, the vegetable oils used during a massage offer a real moment of relaxation and invite you to reconnect with yourself.
In addition, vegetable oils have many virtues for the skin. Each one has its own specificities. They can be moisturizing, regenerating, antiseptic, aphrodisiac... You can therefore adapt the composition of an oil according to your needs of the moment. It is also possible to mix them.
Other criteria differentiate them, notably the smell. When you wish to add an essential oil, the vegetable oil must be neutral. Thus, more or less greasy, vegetable oils have a role that differs on the quality of the massage. Dry oils are rather used on a daily basis, as they are known to penetrate the skin quickly. As for oily oils, they are recommended for a long-lasting relaxing massage.
