Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy body massage uses essential oils along with specific techniques to help rebalance body, mind and spirit.

Aromatherapy massage differs to traditional Swedish massage in that it works primarily through the pathways of the Autonomic Nervous System.

The main way to achieve these effects is through carefully applied pressures over the spinal column, cranial and sacral areas.

1) Absorption
When applied to the skin, essential oils penetrate through the hair follicle and directly into your blood stream due to their very small molecular structure. They will last in your bloodstream for up to 8 hours still having their effect.

2) Inhalation
Every essential oil that is inhaled can have an anti-bacterial effect on your respiratory system and slowly makes its way into your blood stream having its effect.

3) Sense of Smell
Essential oils can affect your mood depending on your emotional or physical state at the time. The sense of smell is the most primitive of all our senses and is linked to some of the oldest and deepest parts of the brain. This can help you choose the correct oil for yourself just through smelling it as your body knows what it needs.
