This is a Swedish massage technique that includes the healing benefits of essential oils. You will inhale or absorb the oil molecules through your skin. This is thought to promote positive changes in the mind and body by affecting the limbic system which is part of the brain that is involved in emotion.
Essential oils are chosen for your specific symptoms. Oils can be uplifting or relaxing, help with pain and inflammation, hormonal imbalance, alleviate congestion, help with stress and anxiety and many more symptoms.
Once the massage oil is selected the therapist will leave the room so you can disrobe and lie facedown on the table under a sheet. You will most likely smell the oils as soon as they are applied. A session may last for 30-60 mins. Often acupuncture may be added to the treatment in the form of needles or cupping and you may rest for 15-30 mins after application.
