An aromatherapy massage is similar to a relaxation massage however involves the use of essential oils that are inhaled through the mouth and nose and absorbed through the skin. The essential oils activate a sense of calm in the mind and body helping to soothe tight muscles and reduce stress and anxiety.

Some of the most common essential oils used in an aromatherapy massage are lavender, peppermint, lemongrass, orange, frankincense, rosemary and tea tree. You can find a more complete list of essential oils and their properties on the blog.

During an aromatherapy massage, your massage therapist will add a few drops of essential oils to your massage oil. This will disperse and allow your body to absorb it.

This is something you can discuss with your massage therapist via the chat feature in the Blys app.

This is totally up to you! If you decide not to shower immediately after then it means your skin has even more time to absorb the essential oils.

Essential oils can be applied in three ways: topically, aromatically and ingested. We do not recommend ingesting any essential oil as this can have adverse effects on the body. You aromatherapy massage therapist may use essential oils topically in their massage oil, or aromatically. If you have any preferences regarding application or scent, include this in the Notes section during the booking process, and talk to your therapist upon arrival.

If you have any aromatic requests, we suggest you leave these in the Notes section during the booking process to ensure we match you with a therapist who can meet your needs. Hydrate before and after your massage; dehydration impairs the body’s ability to flush away toxins. Water is key! If you’re going to eat, we recommend having something small no less than two hours prior to your massage. That’s it – your massage therapist will handle the rest.

Your therapist will always strive to make you feel as secure, safe and comfortable as possible while they are in your home. Feel free to communicate openly with them – they are a professional! You should expect your aromatherapy massage to be a pleasant, full-body experience that engages your senses. Aromatherapy is a wonderful addition to any massage and adds to the overall relaxing, restoring, energising experience.

The effects of an aromatherapy massage are determined by the massage style and the essential oils used. You may feel relaxed, energised, mobile, limber or focussed – any number of positive feelings!
