Aromatherapy is a practice that uses essential oils extracted from plants to promote physical and emotional well-being. It is a powerful tool when administered correctly.
The “Aromatherapy” massage combines traditional massage techniques with a blend of essential oils.
These oils are selected for their therapeutic properties, diluted in a base vegetable oil, and applied to the skin, allowing their components to be both inhaled and absorbed by the body—turning this massage into a full sensory experience.
At Azure Wellness & SPA, in Lisbon, we use essential oils of lavender, lemon, and peppermint.
