Aroma Therapy Massages

During an aromatherapy massage, fragrant essential oils are applied to the skin using a carrier oil such as jojoba, sweet almond, or grapeseed. Essential Oils are plant-based oils which are extracted from herbs, trees, and flowers, each oil has its own unique properties which provide therapeutic benefits. 

Essential oils penetrate your body as they are absorbed through your skin. These essential oils impart benefits to both your mind and your body, including improving your mood, alleviating pain, and detoxifying your body.

It is common practice to diffuse essential oils during an aromatherapy massage. When you inhale the aroma of essential oils, it is detected by the olfactory sensors in your nose that connect directly to your brain's limbic system which controls emotions. This means that the aromas you breathe in can directly influence your emotions.
