Overview

This type of massage can help:

• boost your mood
• reduce stress and anxiety
• reduce symptoms of depression
• relieve muscle tension
• relieve pain
• Aromatherapy massages combine soft, gentle pressure with the use of essential oils. Your massage therapist will usually decide which essential oils to use, but you can let them know if you have a preference. Essential oils are diluted before being applied to the skin.

During the massage, you’ll be given a full-body massage while inhaling essential oils through a diffuser and absorbing them through your skin.

Sometimes, an aromatherapy massage will only focus on your back, shoulders, and head. You won’t wear any clothing, but underwear is optional.

An aromatherapy massage is 60 to 90 minutes.
