Holiday Stress Relief

Stress has a powerful effect on the body - involving both our mental and physical well being.  Aromatherapy and massage are great ways to ease stress.  Aroma means scent, and therapy means treatment.  Aromatherapy therefore is the use of the fragrant parts of aromatic plants to improve health and well being.  Lavendar, bergamot, marjoram, sandalwood,lemon, and chamomile are especially effective in relieving stress.

Massage, even a single session, can cause biological changes.  The stress hormone cortisol is decreased and white blood cells are increased to boost immunity.  Massage activates the body on an internal level to correct the imbalances caused by our stressful lives.

During this potentially stressful holiday time, we would like to offer you some stress relief.  The Neenah office will be offering foot and chair massages from 8-4 on Wednesday, December 12th. The Appleton office will be offering an aromatherapy station for you to try some calming essential oils during the week of December 17th to 21st.  Stop by either office for some much needed TLC!
