What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils (volatile plant substances) in the air or directly on the skin to affect positive change in cognitive states, mood and even physical health.

Benefits of an Aromatherapy Spa Treatment:

Aromatherapy is a simple way to enhance any massage technique or spa treatment. The list of possible essential oils plus their inter-combinations is endless! We always say, the nose knows. If in doubt on which essential oils to use during your aromatherapy treatment, never go with what you “think” you need, always go with what smells the best to you. Aromatherapy affects the limbic system quickly through the sense of smell (the olfactory system).

History of Aromatherapy:

Aromatherapy has been used since antiquity. It’s health benefits were written about in the first century in a medical book by Dioscorides. The history of aromatherapy in Europe was noted in the early 1900s.

Aromatherapy Spa Treatment Training:

Most people come to understand the power of aromatherapy through personal use. Typically at spas, we use pre-blended essential oil combinations. The study of aromatherapy is a science and a discipline all to itself. To actually formulate aromatherapy blends, one should be trained in such.

What Happens During an Aromatherapy Spa Treatment:

Aromatherapy is usually used as an add-on treatment to other modalities. So, you can add aromatherapy to your massage, salt glow, steamy wonder treatment etc…. It is used mixed with the herbs or oil to then be applied to the body.

 Your SpaNomad Aromatherapy Spa Treatment:

We love the use of aromatherapy. At SpaNomad we think using something so powerfully distilled as essential oils, its key to use organic essential oils. Essential oils are not used in large quantities. A little goes a long way. It doesn’t take long or much essential oil to cross the blood-brain barrier. You can add-on aromatherapy in all of our mobile massage and spa treatments (except for dry brushing)
