Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy massage is a type of massage therapy that combines the benefits of massage with the use of essential oils derived from plants. These essential oils are highly concentrated extracts that capture the natural aromatic compounds of various plants. This massage aims to promote physical and psychological well-being by incorporating therapeutic effects and aromatics. Gulshan Thai Spa Center provides this particular service.

How An Aromatherapy Massage Works?

Here’s how this massage typically works:

Selection of Essential Oils for Aromatherapy Massages

Before the massage begins, you and the massage therapist will discuss your preferences and any specific concerns. Based on this discussion, the therapist will choose a blend of essential oils that are appropriate for your needs. Each essential oil has its own unique aroma and potential therapeutic properties.

Application of Essential Oils

The chosen essential oils are often diluted in a carrier oil (such as jojoba, almond, or coconut oil) to ensure they are safe for direct contact with the skin. The therapist then applies this oil blend onto your skin.

Massage Techniques

The massage therapist will perform a massage using various techniques, such as Swedish massage strokes, kneading, and gentle stretching.

Aromatherapy Inhalation

As the massage progresses, the aroma of the essential oils fills the air around you. Inhaling these aromas can directly impact your mood and emotions through the olfactory system, which is linked to the brain’s limbic system, and responds to emotions and memory.
