Keep Calm & Breathe Deep // A Spring Massage Lesson from Dani
Posted on Apr 25, 2013
It’s Spring – I’ve declared it, and so it is so…..We are welcoming it with open arms like any good Wisconsinite would….but for many of us, warmer temperatures(finally!) bring the dark side of April Showers and May flowers – POLLEN! We want so badly to enjoy the weather, but without our inhalers and multiple showers to wash the sticky spores off, we find ourselves miserable and stuck inside for a couple more months.
Did you know – certain essential oils and blends can help open your sinuses, by decreasing inflammation and subduing your body’s OVER-response to pollen and other irritants? We have created a signature massage service to introduce you to a more natural way of managing your seasonal symptoms. So come on in for a massage, get your trouble areas worked as normal and learn and experience a new option for your spring-time sufferings…one that doesn’t dehydrate you, or come with side effects.
Breath Deep is a 60 minute massage allowing for time to work through your tense areas like your back, neck, hips, etc., with a significant span of time dedicated to your respiration area (scalp to upper chest). Compression of your sinus areas will help fluids move around when they become stagnant, all the while experiencing the opening and calming of inflamed tissues in your airway. Specific essential oils noted below go to work, getting you back out there! You’ll go home with a small sample of the blend as well, to continue to experience the benefits – everyone loves a sample!
Peppermint – helps relieve headaches, fevers, and sinus congestion, just to name a few…
Eucalyptus – can relieve sinus infections, hay fever, bronchitis, respiratory congestion, and Asthma symptoms
Ravensara – offers analgesic, anti-allergenic, antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti fungal, anti septic, anti viral, and expectorant properties
Melaleuca – is antifungal and antibacterial
Lemon – offers sore throat relief & disinfects
The blend of these oils is not overwhelming, and in fact, many runners and professionals who work outside utilize this blend of oils to perform at their highest potential.
Only the highest quality oils, 3rd party tested to contain certified pure therapeutic grade, are used in this session, ensuring other irritants like pesticides will not cause issues of their own with you. You will notice a significant difference in the subtlety and harmony of the oils, vs. the perfume headache we sometimes experience walking through the mall.
Are you a runner that is dying to get out and put some miles on that new pair of shoes you picked up? Are you itching to dig in the dirt, and watch your garden grow? Do you simply want to enjoy time with your kids playing out in the yard? Our massage therapist, an aspiring triathlete and seasonal allergy sufferer swears by it.
