Aromatherapy massage is a gentle and relaxing form of massage performed with pure essential oils to address specific health complaints.
When you inhale essential oils, this stimulates your olfactory system – the part of your brain that is connected to smell. A signal is transferred to your brain’s limbic system that controls emotions and stores and retrieves learned memories. This triggers chemicals to be released. These are thought to have different effects, causing you to feel relaxed or stimulated.

Essential oils are easily absorbed into the body during massage. They pass into the blood and lymph circulation and exert their healing effects systemically. An aromatherapy session can alleviate stress and tension and often induces a sense of deep relaxation, increased well-being, renewed energy and vigour.

About your treatment
Your aromatherapist will take a case history and decide on the most appropriate blend of essential oils to use. These will be added to a carrier oil and applied to your skin through massage.

It’s important to tell your therapist if you have a nut or other allergy, sensitive skin, epilepsy or if you are pregnant.

Aromatherapy is a cumulative therapy; an individual session can be very beneficial but for help with specific problems, or as a preventative treatment, regular sessions are recommended.
