Benefits of the Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy is the safe use of essential oils for therapeutic benefits, enhancing well-being, restoring balance, and revitalizing mind, body, and spirit.#collins gema

Essential oils are used in a safe way to improve your wellbeing. Essential oils are a form of plant essence and are extracted mainly by steam distillation from the plants. They are highly concentrated and contain all the important therapeutic properties of the plant. They can come from any part of the plant; the petals, the roots, the leaves, tree resin, or the wood.

Aromatherapy works by the absorption of the essential oils throughout the skin into the bloodstream and then to various areas of the body, or through the nose,

Inhalation is the quickest method of penetration, the sense of smell is very important as it has a strong effect on our emotions. It is easy to see how fast the aroma of the oil brings back good memories thus affecting how we feel.

There is a big variety of different essential oils that go along with their therapeutic effects on your system, from relaxing and calming to refreshing and awakening, most are antiseptic and some are good at fighting infections. You need to be a specialist in aromatherapy to be able to create various blends that are always diluted in a base oil to be used on your skin. However, a lot of products with pre-blended formulas are available for you to use.

At Vinca, we believe in the benefits of essential oils on your mood, health, and wellbeing. They are extracted from nature, they are pure, full of energy from the earth.

You always start your journey with deep inhalation of the oil chosen for the treatment, instantly it will give you a sense of relaxation and prepares you to receive the rest of the treatment

·      Frankincense oil is our first choice of oils, it is the king of essential oils, creates a calming environment, encourages deeper breathing, and focuses the mind. This oil is extracted from the tree resin native to Oman and Somalia. The properties of this oil put it at the top of the chart and make it our favorite in starting our massage. Walking into the frankincense room puts you in a relaxing mood and ready to switch off and enjoy your treatment.

 

·      Lavender is the most universal of all essential oils, it has calming, soothing, and balancing effect, as well as being antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, and promotes healing the skin. It can be safely used on children in small quantities.  This oil is extracted from the lavender flowers native to north Africa and mountainous regions of the Mediterranean.  It is also used to help purify the skin. The minute I walk into the lavender room, purple is the color in mind, the flowers of lavender, the relaxing summers, and the fresh floral smell. The waxing room is bright and clean, the antiseptic properties of the oil make the best ingredient for waxing products for aftercare, for your skin to heal faster and prevent infection.

·      Geranium, intensely sweet oil, it is a must for women. Personally, it is my favorite. It is extracted from leaves, stalks, and flowers of the plant, It is uplifting, refreshing, and overall, balancing. Ideal for fluid retention as it can be a diuretic. If you are feeling premenstrual, anxious, and need grounding, Geranium is your choice. Walking into the Geranium room gives me an immediate grounding effect, the positive energy unwinds you and prepares you for the treatment next.

We would like to always consider the client's visit as an experience rather than a service to have. The vibes shared are what the client leaves with… so on your next plan to escape into relaxation for this little time, Vinca will be the haven for this experience…
