Massage
is one of the oldest forms of physical therapy, and was used by
the Greeks and Romans as a principal source of pain relief and healing.
In many cultures, massage is practised on a daily basis for general
health, ceremonial purposes, and as a social activity. When used
in combination with therapeutic-grade essential oils, it is a powerful
method of relaxing and rejuvenating the body and mind.
