creating atmosphere

Whatever the condition being treated, the aim of massage and aromatherapy is to give each individual relaxation and calm.

The first consideration is to create a safe and relaxing environment. Outside noise should be kept to a minimum, and depending on personal preference, music may prove the ideal tonic. Most important of all, outside distractions should be removed to ensure that the individual remains calm and can relax into their surroundings.

Lighting should ideally be low key, with candles the most obvious solution. Room temperature is again up to personal preference!

Locations and Accessories

The bathroom is an obvious place to begin. A long hot bath, coupled with essential oils for the desired effect, wipes away most of the problems endured throughout the day. Likewise, oils burned in the bedroom will have a calming effect and help a good night's sleep.

Candles or oil burners are easy ways to add essential oils to the atmosphere. For stockists, go to the products section in the directory.
