Salon Treatments - Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy is the art of using oils for healing. The oils are absorbed into the body via the skin's pores during massage or by inhalation through the nose.    The molecules within the oils enter the bloodstream, and from there target the nervous system, thus affecting ones emotional and physical well being.

Aromatherapy massage is a treatment of the face, scalp and body using pure essential oils. These natural oils are extracted from plants and flowers and have their own unique properties. Some are relaxing and soothing helping to relieve stress and tension, others are refreshing and restore energy, whilst others balance and harmonise the body and can be used to help specific problems.

         
Aromatherapy can be of benefit to most people and is particularly helpful with stress related problems. The importance of maintaining a balance in the body is now well recognised and regular treatments are especially beneficial to people who have busy, stressful lives.
           

           
You do not have to be unwell to have a treatment as feeling relaxed allows the body to function efficiently, which in turn can prevent illness. The massage is smooth and gentle, aiding lymphatic drainage. The oils are specifically selected for each individual.
