  1. Hello, everyone.
  2. Today I would like to do my presentation on massage
  3. therapy in essential oils and how they can aid in
  4. the treatment and prevention of stress, most importantly, the physical
  5. reaction that stress has on the body.
  6. So to jump into the physical reaction that we see
  7. most often in stress, I think that I need to
  8. start by giving a little background.
  9. So typically the body produces a stress hormone when we
  10. see a lot of stress happening.
  11. So when quarters all is released in the body, the
  12. fragile sites that are in their tissue, which typically just
  13. absorb all the toxins that we received from the air
  14. or toxins that we ingest by foods that were eating
  15. tends to trying to absorb the court is off.
  16. When this happens, the brain, it sends a message to
  17. the brain stating that there is a large area in
  18. the body that has 40 but is holding a lot
  19. of toxins.
  20. So then the body begins to release cytokines and cytokines,
  21. or pro inflammatory.
  22. So they're gonna inflame the area trying to fight off
  23. the toxins and just disappeared them.
  24. Now, when this happens, you see a struggle and are
  25. deep muscle tissue, so our muscle tissue was covered by
  26. fashion, and what tends to happen is our muscle tissue
  27. starts to make a G type shape and get twisted
  28. and knotted within itself within the fashion.
  29. And that's what creates knots in our neck and her
  30. back in our arms and our thighs wherever you tend
  31. to hold your stress.
  32. That is what's create eating.
  33. Those not so here, have added a picture so you
  34. can see a little more clearly of what tends to
  35. happen when the muscles begin to not in spasm and
  36. cause the pain and tension.
  37. This leads to a lack of oxygen and an extreme
  38. lack of blood flow within the muscle, which could leave
  39. it very stagnant in uncomfortable.
  40. So now I would like to discuss shiatsu massage.
  41. This is a massage therapy that can really help and
  42. aid in the relaxing and the releasing of the pain
  43. and these muscles and the toxins that are stored within
  44. that so shocks you is a technique that involves manual
  45. pressure and that is applying to a specific point on
  46. the body wherever you are trying to relieve the pain
  47. or the tension that you're feeling, and here's a picture
  48. just to go into a little bit of detail.
  49. These are the different types of massage techniques that they
  50. tend to use with.
  51. Such therapists tend to use when applying shots.
  52. Who and what you can see is that shots, who
  53. is a lot of consistent small motions, almost like vibrations.
  54. So you're gonna see a lot of rhythm rolling or
  55. a lot of needing a lot of deep massaging to
  56. try to really break up the not and break up
  57. those toxins, and that leads me to the raindrop therapy
  58. massage. Now this massage can be called many different things
  59. at many different massage therapy offices here in town, at
  60. my local massage therapists, acupuncture works, it's called the Rain
  61. Job Therapy, Massage and, essentially, what The Ranger Up Therapy
  62. is a combination of aromatherapy massage techniques, essential oil reflexology.
  63. And it embodies all these massages just to give you
  64. the top level of reduced pain and reduce tension in
  65. your muscles.
  66. So here I've added a picture of the foot reflexology
  67. chart, and essentially, what this is is at the bottom
  68. of everyone's feet.
  69. We all have pressure points, and these pressure points are
  70. connected to other places within the body, and what tends
  71. to happen is if you notice your having headache or
  72. you notice you're having lower back pain or neck pain,
  73. you should be able to locate the area on the
  74. bottom of your foot and give it a really nice
  75. massage. And that should ease the pain that you might
  76. be feeling elsewhere within your body.
  77. Now this is very important when it comes to the
  78. raindrop therapy massage, because what they tend to do is
  79. they apply essential oils down the spine of your back
  80. and to the bottoms of your feet, and they use
  81. the essential oils while they're aiding you in a massage.
  82. So what tends to happen is not only are you
  83. relieving the pain from the area off of the pressure
  84. point, but you're also relieving the pain from the area
  85. with Theis and oils with the aromatherapy and massage technique.
  86. Now this leads me to discuss essential oils.
  87. There are many essential oils that have all kinds of
  88. amazing effects on the body, but a few that I'd
  89. like to touch one or lavender lavender is one that
  90. really calms the body and relaxes you, and it even
  91. at times can put people in a state of tiredness
  92. or sleepiness.
  93. Eucalyptus oil is an amazing, essential oil that has a
  94. cooling effect on the muscles, so this really reduces any
  95. type of pain or information that you may be feeling.
  96. Camel is also an oil that really helps reduce playing
  97. an information, but mostly it reduces muscle spasms.
  98. And that's very important when you're getting a massage.
  99. Because if it's your first massage, a lot of times
  100. people tend to be tense, or if it's an area
  101. with extreme, it's amount of pain, then it will be
  102. a very tense.
  103. When someone is massaging it, you'll tense up or you'll
  104. feel your muscles spasm me.
  105. And it's very important to utilize camel in that so
  106. that you can aid in reducing the pain from the
  107. massage, because you already you're in pain from the stress.
  108. You don't want to add any more paint on top
  109. of that from the massage.
  110. Lastly, sandalwood is an amazing, essential oil that will aid
  111. and reducing muscle spasms and inflammation.
  112. Santa. What is one that you can put on and
  113. massage use a little while and you'll already see a
  114. difference. So here I have added a charge of essential
  115. oils, and they're just roller blends so you can go
  116. to your local for admires, warmer any store and buy
  117. any of these essential oils and blend them to your
  118. liking. These air suggested blend ings for any time that
  119. you might need to feel less pain, calm, find balance
  120. or float away.
  121. Or even if you're feeling any anxiety and nervousness.
  122. So now this leads me to duration and consistency.
  123. It is very important.
  124. But if you're going to use massage therapy as a
  125. treatment and more important, if you're gonna use as a
  126. prevention technique, you moved to be consistent.
  127. So massage therapy for prevention you can pretty much there
  128. at any time that you would like.
  129. You don't have to go very often.
  130. It's recommended that you go at least once a week,
  131. but if you're using it as a treatment therapy and
  132. you're seeing that you have a lot of knots around
  133. your neck area or your lower back or anywhere that
  134. can really cause you lots of pain if you have
  135. it around your neck, that's something to be very mindful.
  136. of because that can mess up any of your neck
  137. disk, and it can cause you to not be able
  138. to rotate your net properly to not be able to
  139. do a lot of Dealey activities.
  140. The otherwise you would be able to dio.
  141. If that is the case, then you need Teoh.
  142. Start seeing a massage therapist a little more often, and
  143. what they recommend is that you come for the first
  144. couple weeks.
  145. You come every single day, and that's just because if
  146. you try to go once a week in the very
  147. beginning, it gets hard because your muscles will see some
  148. kind of release, some kind of pain relieving massage, and
  149. they will be less inflammation ID and then seven days
  150. your body's gonna produce more cortisol, and all these hormones
  151. are going to start reacting.
  152. You're going to be absorbing toxins, and it's just gonna
  153. create another not within, but not that you already have.
  154. Or it's gonna and just create more knots around the
  155. surrounding area.
  156. So it kind of dissipates or a kind of negates
  157. the whole massage that you're having.
  158. So you want to go as consistently as possible so
  159. that you can see the results, and you can see
  160. the change in what's happening now.
  161. The duration of the massage is typically an hour and
  162. 1/2 but if you can't get to the massage therapists
  163. every single day or you don't want to go on
  164. a weekly basis where you don't want to go at
  165. all, it is recommended that you must hodge your own
  166. areas of your body 10 minutes every single day.
  167. You do not have to do this with essential oils,
  168. but like I said previously, you can get some oils
  169. from your local store, their easily accessible.
  170. So if you can go ahead and pick up, she's
  171. we pick up some sandalwood or pick up some lavender,
  172. really pick up some eucalyptus oil and just put a
  173. few dabs in the area and really Miss Arginine and
  174. you'll see some relief.
  175. Now there are three scholarly articles that I've read.
  176. Psychology adjustments, whose trust measuring following a massage therapy, a
  177. review of the literature treatment effects of massage therapy and
  178. depressed people and meta analysis quarters on decreases and serotonin
  179. and dopamine increases following massage therapy, thes air, all amazing
  180. peer reviewed articles and journals that you should very well
  181. check out.
  182. If you don't really understand the idea behind massage therapy
  183. or you just don't think it might be for you
  184. a little more research might help you make that decision.
  185. Now all of these have stated that they see an
  186. increase in mental health, physical health, pain, joint stiffness after
  187. massage therapy and all of these clients.
  188. I think that's something that's really important to know just
  189. because there are many alternatives.
  190. We're treating stress, and you always have to find the
  191. best one for you.
  192. So I think that doing a little extra research might
  193. help. Thank you very much.
  194. This is my presentation.
