14th April 2021, New Delhi: With the omnipresent stress in all work environments, the importance of relaxing massages has come to the limelight. This has allowed many massage therapists to boost their craft by specializing in technique and their healing philosophy. The combination of relieving stress points by massaging, using natural body care lotions makes massages one of the most relaxing activities ever.

Many massages exist, out of which Swedish, Shiatsu, Deep tissue, Hot Stone, etc., stand out as some of the most popular ones. Aromatherapy is one such style that uses essential oils. These oils are spread into the air through diffusers or gently applied to the clients to evoke different moods. Similarly, other styles have techniques unique to them and known for different relaxing results. A Swedish massage is suggestively good for people new to the realm of massages and who have tensed muscles per se. Hot Stone is similar to Swedish massages, with the significant change being the replacement of hand movements with hot stones.

All these massages use various kinds of lotions, oils, and creams. Shahnaz Husain says, “To get the best out of a massage, it is as important to know which type of oil, cream, or lotion suits you the best, as it is to know the different styles of massages.”

“Massage oils have the longest glide on the skin and get absorbed at a slower rate, while a massage lotion, being starkly opposite, has the shortest glide and gets absorbed quickly by the skin. Standing mid-way, massage creams get absorbed quicker as compared to oils, while providing a better glide than lotions. Some massage gels, which are oil-based, have a better spread than the regular oils and can be easily substituted in Swedish, Hot Stone, and other such styles.” She explains further.

A good understanding of the styles and the application of these oils, which sometimes even contain Ayurvedic herbs for skin whitening, tightening, etc., helps one identify the best for themselves and have a good and well-deserved relaxing massage.
