Both are full-body massages, but they feel very different. Here is how to choose based on your body, your pain and your mood.

An aromatherapy massage combines gentle, flowing strokes with essential oils diluted in a carrier oil. Smell is closely connected to memory and emotion, which is why the right aroma can change how a massage feels.
A quick guide to popular oils
- Lavender: calming and sleepy, ideal for evening sessions and anxious minds
- Sandalwood (chandan): warm, earthy and grounding; a classic Indian favourite
- Lemongrass: fresh and uplifting, good when you feel low on energy
- Eucalyptus: clean and cooling, nice when you feel blocked or heavy
- Rose: soft and comforting, often chosen for emotional tiredness
Morning or evening?
Choose citrus, lemongrass or eucalyptus if you have plans after the session. Choose lavender, sandalwood or rose if you want to go home and rest.
Safety
Essential oils are always diluted before touching the skin. Tell your therapist if you are pregnant, have asthma, have sensitive skin or react to strong smells. A patch test is easy and takes a minute.
Bring the calm home
Put two drops of your favourite oil on a cotton ball near your pillow, or add a few drops to a bucket of warm water for a short foot soak.
Book an aromatherapy massage and simply tell us your mood; we will help you pick the oil.
