Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils distilled from plants to promote a well balanced and healthy lifestyle. Massage, bathing, vaporisation and inhalation are the usual methods of use.

This type of treatment uses different essential oils in combination with Swedish or Deep Tissue massage.The essential oils are chosen by your therapist to stimulate the olfactory (smell) system to achieve a de-sired emotional state of the mind. When the client in-hales the essential oils, a chemical massage is sent to the brain to therapeutically treat the body and mind.

The blend will depend of the clients needs and condition Often their use is also recommended for bathing and burning in a water solution over a candle to clean and purify the air and to effect improvements in a persons breathing and general well being.Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils distilled from plants to promote a well balanced and healthy lifestyle.

Pure essential oils are extremely concentrated. Before using pure essential oils virtually all will need to be diluted in a carrier oil to avoid any skin reactions and provide the lubrication necessary to help disperse them evenly.

If essential oils are used in skin and body care, carrier oils can also be moisturising, nourishing and protecting. Oils such as baby oil should not be used to dilute essential oils.

Aromatherapists charges vary hugely but a qualified therapist will generally charge between £30 and £45 per hour. Often massage treatments take 90 minutes and the change will reflect this time.
