What is an effective way to alleviate contra-actions?

Rest is an effective way to alleviate contra-actions because it allows the body to recover and rebalance after a treatment. Contra-actions can manifest as temporary discomfort or reactions to the essential oils or techniques used in aromatherapy. When the body is given time to rest, it can engage in self-healing and processing of the treatment received.

In contrast, the other options may not provide the same level of benefit. Increased exercise could potentially elevate heart rates or exacerbate feelings of discomfort immediately following a treatment. Intense dieting may lead to a lack of necessary nutrients and energy, hindering the body’s ability to recover. Social gatherings may introduce additional stress or sensory overload, which could counteract the calming effects intended from the aromatherapy session. Thus, rest stands out as the most beneficial option in promoting recovery and alleviating any adverse reactions.
