Massage; the effect of touch clearly has a profound psychological and physical impact.

"Touch is a basic behavioural need, in much the same way as breathing is a basic physical need".

Aromatherapy massage has already been incorporated in some hospitals to relieve muscular tension, promote sleep, relieve pain, reduce high blood pressure, and for its comforting effect. There are benefits of using aromatherapy massage to reduce anxiety in children and psychiatric patients also.

The Five Elements; In a Japanese calendar Monday is moon, Tuesday is fire, Wednesday is water, Thursday is wood, Friday is metal, Saturday is earth, Sunday is Sun. We admire these synergetic properties as our Gods. Each essential oil has its own personality and energy with powerful fragrances and they work together with vital therapeutic actions.
