Aroma Therapy Massage

Aromatherapy massage is a holistic healing technique that combines the benefits of massage therapy with the use of essential oils derived from aromatic plants. Here are the key steps involved in an aromatherapy massage:

1. Consultation: The massage therapist will begin by discussing your health history, preferences, and any specific concerns you may have. This helps them select the most suitable essential oils for your session.

2. Oil Selection: Based on the consultation, the therapist will choose essential oils known for their therapeutic properties. These oils are diluted with a carrier oil to ensure they are safe for direct skin application.

3. Preparation: You will be asked to undress to your comfort level and lie on a massage table. Typically, you’ll be draped with a sheet or towel to maintain modesty.

4. Application: The therapist will apply the diluted essential oils to their hands and then use various massage techniques to apply the oils to your body. The strokes can be long, flowing movements or specific techniques depending on your needs.

5. Massage: The therapist will perform the massage, combining the therapeutic benefits of touch with the aromatic qualities of the essential oils. The oils are absorbed through the skin and inhaled, promoting relaxation and addressing specific concerns like stress, pain, or tension.

6. Relaxation: During the massage, you’ll experience deep relaxation as the scent of the essential oils and the soothing touch of the therapist work together to relieve stress and tension.

7. Post-Massage: After the massage is complete, the therapist may offer you a few moments to relax and enjoy the calming effects of the oils.

8. Aftercare: The therapist will provide recommendations for self-care, such as drinking water to stay hydrated and avoiding strenuous activities immediately after the massage.
