Tracing back as far as 3,500 years, Aromatherapy always enjoyed a blissful sense of mysticism. But now, backed by credible science, its natural healing properties are infused into many products we use daily to alleviate pain, improve sleep and even uplift our mental wellbeing.

Frequently used to treat certain health conditions, such as acne, chronic pain or alopecia, Aromatherapy offers a myriad of not only spiritual but also mental, emotional and physical benefits. At Grey Wolfe, we incorporate Aromatherapy into every massage. Proven to impact neurotransmitter release in the brain, these oils greatly enhance the massage experience and impact the physiological and psychological wellbeing.

Our expert practitioners carefully curate a blend of oils during each visit. So, whether our members are seeking sleep-inducing relaxation, need help releasing muscle pain or want to reinvigorate their minds and bodies, we’ll infuse their massage with a blend that fits their needs that particular day.

Here, we delve into why at Grey Wolfe we integrate them into massage therapy, and why you should consider an Aromatherapy Massage as your next treatment.

‍

Enhanced relaxation and stress relief

Introducing Aromatherapy into the massage provides a deeper sense of relaxation. When inhaled or absorbed through the skin, certain oils, such as lavender, bergamot or chamomile, reduce the cortisol levels within the body. Combined with skilled massage, the power of these unique oils and the human touch can have a profoundly calming effect on the mind and body.

‍

Elevated mood and mental clarity

Linked to an increase in beta waves, which are involved in thought and logical thinking, Jasmine oil promotes a sense of greater mental clarity. While energising scents, such as lemon, grapefruit or eucalyptus reinvigorate the mind and uplift the mood. Helping to combat the feelings of anxiety, depression and mental fog, and instead, improving cognitive functions to support better focus and concentration.

‍

Pain relief and boosted immune system

The anti-inflammatory properties of oils such as ginger and tea tree make them ideal for muscle relaxation and boosting the immune system. Inducing a soothing feeling, these oils help the body to rid of toxins, relieving pain and discomfort. Particularly beneficial for those suffering from chronic pain conditions, massages infused with these oils can greatly aid in pain relief and injury recovery.

‍

Rejuvenated skin

Certain skin conditions, such as acne, eczema and psoriasis can benefit from the antibacterial properties of essential oils such as lavender and geranium. While sandalwood and rose oils are excellent for moisturising the skin during the massage. Their rejuvenating effects leave the body feeling incredibly soft and smooth, emanating a healthy glow.

‍

Better sleep

Aromatherapy is a great natural remedy for sleep. Essential oils, such as chamomile and lavender induce deep relaxation, improving the production of the sleep hormone - melatonin, to promote a restful night of sleep. A gentle massage incorporating these oils can help you improve the quality of sleep, and as a result, boost your overall wellbeing.
