The power of massage, aromatherapy, shiatsu and reflexology for health and wellbeing, shown in more than 200 colour photographs. It is a clear and comprehensive guide to the most popular touch therapies of massage, aromatherapy, shiatsu and reflexology. You can soothe away the strains of a hectic life with simple massage sequences to leave you feeling relaxed, calm and in control. It includes instant techniques for self-massage, quick revitalizing aromatherapy, shiatsu in the workplace, hand and foot massage, and much more. You can learn how to treat common ailments with Eastern and Western therapies, which stimulate and release healing energies. Massage is a source of relief and relaxation. The massage techniques included in this book aim to relieve tension through physical pressure on the muscles, as well as improve the nervous and circulatory system. Massage is often, but not always, combined with aromatherapy. You can learn about the benefits of aromatherapy as well as how to use perfumed oils that allow direct communication with the emotions and act therapeutically to help relieve physical problems such as stomach upsets, headaches and other common ailments. Whichever therapy you choose, or whether you combine aspects of them all, the step-by-step photographs and instructions will enable you to give near-professional treatments to yourself, family and friends.
