Maximizing Aromatherapy
Fall is a naturally aromatic time of year, so we're thinking about helping you get the most out of any treatment that incorporates aromatherapy.
Whether it's the spicy scents of pumpkin and nutmeg that warm your heart, or the sweeter scents of maple and chocolate (check out the treatments below!) aromas can have a profound effect on us.
Last time we covered aromatherapy, we talked about the basic 'why' of this practice. Now, we're focusing on 'how' with the following tips:
- Match the benefits you're looking for to the specific indications for each essential oil.
- Research whether or not inhalation or skin absorption is required.
- Be sure to dilute pure essential oils in a carrier oil before use.
- Most importantly - ask an aromatherapy or natural health professional if you have any questions before using essential oils!
It's important to remember that allergies, pregnancy, and other medical conditions can be affected by use of aromatherapy, so if you're not sure, always ask a doctor or aromatherapy professional.
Featured Treatments
Maple Butter Body Wrap
Begin with a pampering, aromatic body scrub designed to mildly exfoliate while providing vital nutrients and invigorating the entire body.
Next, a rich and hydrating maple butter body mask with cocoa and shea butter is applied to nourish and quench dry, parched skin. You are cocooned and kept warm to allow the butter to penetrate the skin. While you are enveloped in warmth a soothing scalp massage helps to further relax you.
A finishing application of rich maple body lotion concludes this body quenching treatment to leave your skin silky smooth.
