Aromatherapy massage in Accra
Aromatherapy adds scent to massage. The oils you smell shape how the experience feels, from calming and sleepy to bright and refreshing.
How aromatherapy massage works
In aromatherapy massage, plant essential oils are blended into a carrier oil and used during the massage. Scent has a direct link to the part of the brain that handles mood and memory, which is why a smell can relax you, lift you or remind you of somewhere you love. During your massage the therapist uses a gentle, flowing technique similar to Swedish massage, so you can focus on the aroma and the rhythm.
It is a relaxation treatment, not a medical therapy. We do not make claims about curing conditions.
Oils people commonly choose
- Lavender: soft, floral and widely used for evening relaxation
- Eucalyptus or peppermint: fresh and clear, popular when you feel heavy or tired
- Citrus oils: bright and uplifting
- Unscented option: available if you are sensitive to fragrance
