What Is Aromatherapy Massage?

Aromatherapy massage combines the therapeutic power of touch with the healing properties of essential oils extracted from plants, flowers, and herbs. During the session, your therapist blends specific essential oils into a carrier oil and uses gentle Swedish-style strokes to apply them to your skin, where they are absorbed into the bloodstream and inhaled through the olfactory system.

Each essential oil has distinct therapeutic properties — lavender promotes relaxation and sleep, eucalyptus clears the airways and relieves headaches, peppermint energizes and eases muscle pain, while rose and ylang-ylang lift mood and reduce anxiety. Your therapist selects or custom-blends oils based on your specific needs, creating a personalized healing experience that addresses both physical tension and emotional well-being.
