Aromatic Oil Massage

Best Stanmore Aromatic Oil Massage

Aromatherapy massage combines the benefits of traditional massage with the holistic benefits of scented ‘essential oils’, which are concentrated oils derived from various plants. An aromatherapy massage intends to heal your body and your mind.

Common essential oils include lavender, tea tree, chamomile, bergamot, geranium, lemon, ginger, and cedarwood. These fragrant oils are potent, so they’re diluted in a neutral carrier oil like coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil ,or sweet almond oil before they’re applied to your skin.

During the massage, the aroma of the essential oil travels to the part of your brain known as the limbic system. This versatile set of structures serves many purposes, including regulating emotion. Aromatic responses trigger dopamine and serotonin resulting in involuntary pleasant emotions.
