Discover the Power of Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy massage is essentially Swedish and Thai massage with the added benefit of essential oils. At Pure Relax we have designed a profoundly recharging treatment by harnessing aromatherapy’s unique ability to both relax and energise.

Essential oils have a dual therapeutic effect – while inhaling their perfume releases tension they are also absorbed through the skin, ensuring a multi-sensory, holistic experience. These profoundly relaxing properties make an aromatherapy massage ideal for addressing sleep problems, anxiety related complaints and daily stress.

Each essential oil used in aromatherapy is said to have different properties. For example, some calm and make you feel relaxed while others energize.

Most people who experience an aromatherapy massage comment on the gentleness of the massage techniques and are amazed at the way they feel energised if they are suffering from lethargy or stress. Many report feeling relaxed and sleeping well after a treatment.

Aromatherapy massageappears to reduce the pain and discomfort of menstrual cramps, a 2015 study from the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology suggests. Participants did a self-massage with rose essential oil, an unscented almond oil, or no oil on the first day of menstruation for two menstrual cycles.
