+ How it works

Aromatherapy Massage at AcuMedic in London combines the therapeutic powers of touch with your body’s high sensitivity to smell.

Your nostrils are wired to your brain through what’s known as the limbic system which also extends into the nervous system and controls your emotions and hormones. This is the reason your smell is probably the most powerful and evocative of the five senses, and what gives Aromatherapy Massage its instant effects and versatility.

Aromatherapy works because when you smell essential oils their molecules are transmitted by your limbic system into your body where they affect your blood pressure; stress level; heart rate; breathing; immune system; digestive system and your memory.

The properties of the essential oils used in Aromatherapy Massage mean that they can also be beneficial for your skin when applied directly using the right massage movements.

+ Our collection of essential oils

The essential oils used in Aromatherapy Massage are chosen according to their therapeutic effects on the mind and body. There are oils which can relax you (chamomile; lavender; geranium); oils which have an uplifting effect (ylang ylang; clary sage; rose; neroli); oils which can help you feel energised and assist in detox, such as rosemary; and oils which can have a decongesting effect (eucalyptus, pine, tea tree).
