This is a relaxation style massage performed with the use of essential oils.
Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils, often through massage. An individual blend will be prepared for you depending on your reaction to the scent and the link between your health needs and the use of the oil. If you have sensitive skin or allergies the oils will be patch tested on your skin in case of reaction.
The essential oils are blended in a base of cold pressed oil and then applied skin through a relaxing massage.
As a holistic treatment, aromatherapy can have a profound effect on physical and psychological well-being. There exists the belief that scent, as the most enduring of our senses, has the power to transform our emotions, and heal our bodies.
About Essential Oils
The Essential Oils used in aromatherapy are extracted from plants and herbs to treat conditions ranging from infections and skin disorders to immune deficiencies and stress. When aromas are detected in the nasal cavity, impressions associated with previous experiences and emotions are created. Combining this with the fact that the parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels and hormone balance are also related to the nasal cavity, it is evident that the use of essential oils contributes to and achieves many physiological or psychological effects.
Some common oils and their uses include:
- Eucalyptus: for congestion/colds
- Frankincense: for calming emotions and nightmares
- Geranium:for menopausal problems & PMS Lemongrass; for sore or injured muscles
- Lavender: for relaxation
