Aroma Therapy

Aroma therapy massage is massage therapy but with highly concentrated plant oils, called essential oils, added to the massage oil or lotion. During the aroma therapy massage the skin is warmed and the blood drawn to the surface, increasing circulation and encouraging the elimination of toxins from the body, which has the consequence of speeding up recovery time from any illness or injury.

This type of massage is many time considered as a complementary or alternative medicine to relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, rehabilitate injuries and boost general health.

This massage works to reduce muscle tension and fatigue and is thought to improve blood circulation in the body as well as improve function of the lymphatic system. 

Back, Neck, Shoulder Massage 

When you are short in time, you can most often use a back, neck and shoulder massage as a substitute. This massage  releases tense from your shoulders and eases a pinched nerve. It also alleviates back and neck pain that is normally acquired from sleeping wrong, a day of gardening, hauling luggafe etc.

Lymphatic Drainage

This massage uses very light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase the flow of lymph and reduce toxins in your body. The lymph system is part of your body's immune system and helps fight infection. Lymph itself is a clear, slightly yellow fluid. It transports nutrients and oxygen to cells, collecting toxins on the way and flushing them out through the lymph nodes.
This massage helps your body fight off infection,a dn speed up healing and recovery from illness. It helps reduce water  retention from your body (especially when you have swollen feet or fingers). It also helps on weight loss as improving the lymphatic system will improve your metabolic rate, which helps you burn calories more efficiently.
