Experience Aroma Oil Massage at Makkha Health & Spa

Makkha Health & Spa offers excellent massage treatments in a serene setting, making us an ideal choice for anyone seeking to unwind and rejuvenate with a relaxing oil massage in Bangkok or Chiang Mai.

Difference Between Aroma Oil Massage and Other Types of Massage

Unlike other massage techniques that primarily focus on physical manipulation, an aroma oil massage incorporates the healing power of essential oils. Using aromatherapy adds an extra layer of relaxation and therapeutic benefits. At Makkha Spa, essential oils are selected based on your needs. We use signature blends of natural oils chosen for their unique properties and benefits, including:

Lavender: This calming classic is known for its relaxing properties. Perfect if you’re feeling stressed or wound up, lavender oil can help you unwind and drift into deep relaxation during your massage.

Jasmine: Renowned as a romantic oil, Jasmine has a sweet, floral aroma that can enhance feelings of love and connection. It’s a lovely choice for couples’ massages or if you simply want to create a luxurious and sensual atmosphere.

Lemongrass: This energizing oil has a citrusy, herbal scent that can help improve focus and uplift your mood. It’s a great option if you’re feeling sluggish or need a pick-me-up.

Orange Cinnamon: This essential oil blend combines uplifting orange with the warm spice of cinnamon to create a cheerful and invigorating fragrance. It can help reduce stress, elevate mood, and even sharpen focus. When topically used, orange’s antioxidants contribute to a brighter complexion, while cinnamon’s warming properties may improve circulation, both promoting overall skin and mood health.

Rose: This is a luxurious choice for massage, renowned for its hydrating and anti-aging benefits for the skin. It helps to reduce anxiety, uplift the mood, and create a sense of calm and well-being.

For those seeking an even deeper level of relaxation, we also offer a hot aroma oil massage. The main difference lies in the temperature of the oils. While an aroma oil massage uses oils at room temperature, as the name suggests, a hot aroma oil massage uses gently heated oils to enhance relaxation and therapy.

Physical Benefits

The physical benefits of an aroma oil massage are numerous. The gentle, rhythmic movements help to relax muscles, ease tension, and improve overall flexibility. The essential oils penetrate deep into the skin, enhancing the massage’s effectiveness and promoting better blood circulation. Improved circulation can reduce muscle soreness and aid faster recovery from physical activities.

Mental Benefits

Aroma oil massage also offers significant mental benefits. The soothing scents of essential oils have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. These oils stimulate the olfactory system connected to the brain’s limbic system – the area that controls emotions. As a result, you experience a sense of calm and improved mood, making it easier to manage daily stressors.
