Aromatherapy Massage: The Science of Essential Oils
From lavender to bergamot, the proven effects of aromatherapy massage on stress, sleep and mental clarity.
Aromatherapy takes essential oils into the body through smell and skin, rebalancing physical and mental states. Modern neuroscience has repeatedly confirmed the effect of essential oils on the limbic system.
Lavender — The Chemical Antidote to Stress
Lavender oil is known to lower cortisol and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Our first choice for busy schedules.
Bergamot — For Anxiety
Italian bergamot balances mood during mild depressive symptoms and general anxiety. Ideal for morning sessions.
Eucalyptus & Mint
Anti-inflammatory properties relieve muscle pain and sinus congestion. Our go-to for post-workout massages.
Ylang Ylang & Melissa
A deep-relaxing combination used for evening sessions with guests whose sleep is disturbed.
How We Apply It at TEO
After a brief lifestyle consultation we create a personal synergy of 2-3 oils; the 60-90 minute session is delivered on a jojoba base oil.
