About aromatherapy massage treatments

Aromatherapy treatments are achieved by adding specific essential oils to the “carrier” oil or lotion used for massage. Typically, a relaxation-type massage, such as Swedish Massage or Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage is used. The oils, combined with massage, provide a powerful treatment focused on deep relaxation to help your body heal itself. A main component of massage is to promote a self-healing action in the body – body, mind and spirit. Aromatherapy massage can be stimulating, refreshing, detoxifying, or tailored for deep relaxation.

Aromatherapy massage is a type of massage therapy because the combination is so impactful, however aromatherapy on its own is also a complimentary (CAM) therapy.

Aromatherapy requires an additional assessment to determine any contraindications as well as what symptoms to treat for.
