Massage is an effective and
valuable tool for the release of tension in the body and
mind. It soothes the nervous system, increases circulation
and range of motion, helps to relieve aches and pains as
well as increasing one’s overall sense of well being.
Massage helps the body to flush out toxins collected in the
tissues and to absorb important nutrients. It also speeds
recovery from injuries and improves muscle tone. By
appointment only.
Massage is one of the most
effective methods for the application of essential oils.
The essential oil molecules penetrate the skin and tissues
and enter the bloodstream. The rate of absorption increases
due to the effect on blood flow, which is greatly increased
by massage. One blend may be used on the entire body or a
variety of oils may be used to address multiple symptoms.
Choose from a variety of prepared blends including
Lavender, Muscle Ache, Rosy Glow, Winter Warmer, Spring
Cleaning, Summer Cooler, Hindu Love Potion and
Exterminator. New blends are being formulated regularly. If
you don’t see what you’re looking for ask about the newest
blends.
For specific needs that one of the prepared blends just
doesn't cover, a custom blend can be prepared to meet your
individual physical and emotional needs. The cost concurs
with the preparation time, size and availability of
ingredients. Please inquire.
