  1. Full Body Massage (Aromatherapy / Swedish massage) – 60 minutes 

This technique varies from light to vigorous. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks.  

Aromatherapy massage is massage therapy but with highly concentrated plant oils, called essential oils, added to the massage oil or lotion. 

The nostrils are attached to a part of the brain called the limbic system. The limbic system controls emotions and influences the nervous system and hormones. 
 
When you inhale essential oil molecules, messages are transmitted to the limbic system and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion, and the immune system. 

Essential oils are also believed to be absorbed through the skin. 
 
Each essential oil has different healing properties. For example, some calm while others energize.
