What essential oil massage do we use?

The oils used in aromatherapy massage come from proven plant essences and are mixed by ourselves from a range of aromatherapy massage oils. Each aromatherapy massage oils contains up to 10 different essential oils and carrier oils (the latter used to dilute the powerful essential oils so they won’t harm your skin). It’s this combination, and our therapists’ aromatherapy massage techniques, which make your treatment so gently luxurious.

Essential oils do far more than smell great. They are used to help increase oxygen in the body upwards of 20%. Muscles respond to massage therapy faster when we use essential oils as part of your therapy. Essential oils also reduce stress, help detoxify the body faster, help cells assimilate nutrients better and raise the body’s energetic frequency. Most of all, essential oils help our body respond better to each massage and hold the positive effects of the massage longer.

Depending on your requirements, we’ll recommend a particular combination of oils to suit your needs. Or you can try it yourself and choose your favorite one:

Delicate
Naturally fresh
Energy
Indulge
Forest fragrance
Exotic

How does aromatherapy massage work?

Essential oils have positive effects on every level of being. Their unique properties enhance the mind, body and spirit. Aromatherapy is the creative and scientific application of essential oils to create beneficial changes in our lives on aesthetic, therapeutic and mystical levels.

To your body

Essential oils are quickly absorbed through the skin, traveling around individual cells and into hair follicles, where the oils enter the sebaceous glands and mingle with the skin's natural emollients. The chemical properties of the oils can be cleansing, deodorizing, toning, or balancing.

To your mind

Essential oil aromas stimulate the part of the brain that affects emotion. The shape of an essential oil molecule is like a key that opens lock-like structure in the olfactory nerve receptors in our nostrils. The impression of the aroma is sent directly and immediately to the limbic system where memories are stored, pleasure and emotions are perceived. When stimulated, the limbic system releases chemicals that affect the central nervous system. Serotonin counteracts anxiety; endorphins reduce pain and affect sexual response.

Inhaling essential oils can help us attain a pleasurable emotional balance. A balanced emotional state in turn can have a therapeutic effect on physical problems.
