What is an Aromatherapy Massage?
An aromatherapy massage is a therapeutic massage technique that combines gentle, targeted massage movements with the use of essential oils extracted from plants that are known for their therapeutic benefits. At Wellness Flowz in Hamilton we use high quality essential oils that are tailored to your specific needs whether it’s for relaxation, stress relief, pain management or mood enhancement. Essential oils can influence the nervous system by reducing cortisol (the stress hormone) and promoting relaxation and well-being through the sense of smell.
During an aromatherapy massage the essential oils are absorbed through the skin and inhaled, stimulating the limbic system (the brain area involved in emotion and memory). This dual effect creates a deeply calming experience that relaxes the body and soothes the mind. With our customized approach Wellness Flowz in Hamilton offers a holistic treatment that leaves you feeling rejuvenated, balanced and in tune with yourself.
