Aromatherapy massage incorporates the long gliding strokes of Swedish massage therapy with massage oil or lotion containing specially blended essential oils.

By inhaling these concentrated plant oils or absorbing them through your skin during your massage, you’ll benefit from their specific properties which can be tailored to your own preferences and needs.

Each essential oil used in aromatherapy has a different property, and oils can be blended to create the perfect effect for you.

Some oils such as chamomile, lavender and geranium, for example will promote relaxation and calm, while others have a more energising and uplifting effect, such as rosemary, ylang-ylang, clary sage, rose, and neroli.

The use of therapeutic essential oils in massage can be beneficial for those experiencing anxiety, insomnia, depression, menstrual pain and symptoms of menopause.
