A combination of science and art that provides a relaxing experience by artistic hand strokes on the body to rejuvenate the mind and body and eliminate stress scientifically.  Massage therapy helps the body heal itself and to increase health and well-being.

Aromatherapy massage is massage therapy but with highly concentrated plant oils, called essential oils, added to the massage oil or lotion. Essential oils are believed to be absorbed through the skin.  Essential oils have different healing properties.

The nostrils are attached to a part of the brain called the limbic system. The limbic system controls emotions and influences the  nervous system and hormones.  When you inhale essential oil molecules, messages are transmitted to the limbic system and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion, and the immune system.

Aromatherapy massage is particularly suited to conditions involving stress or improving emotionally-related conditions.

Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight.  Infrared emitters in the sauna mimic and intensify this effect.  All life requires heat from the sun. The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is beneficial.  Sunlight also contains harmful solar radiation.  Although life needs energy from the sun, too much sunlight damages the skin.

Infrared heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation. Infrared heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally which increases blood circulation and strengthens your cardiovascular system.

As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder pumping more blood, achieving the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. By widening your blood vessels and enriching your blood with oxygen you feel more energetic and your skin gets a beautiful, youthful glow.

PAIN RELIEF

Heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process.

WEIGHT CONTROL

Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water-soluble and the body sweats out fats and toxins.

EXERCISE

During a 10-20 minute sauna session, your heart rate increases by 50-75%. This provides the same metabolic result as physical exercise. The increased cardiac load is the equivalent to a brisk walk. There is a nominal effect on blood pressure because the heat also causes blood vessels in skin to expand to accommodate increased blood flow.

DETOXIFICATION

Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and carcinogenic heavy metals accumulate in the body during modern daily life. The body eliminates most toxins naturally by sweating. Heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands that cleanse and detoxify the skin.

REDUCE STRESS

Heat therapy loosens the muscles and relaxes the body. Many massage therapists use heat to provide more thorough and effective treatment.

BENEFIT TO SKIN

Heat improves circulation, expels dirt & chemicals and removes dead cells on the surface of the skin. This leads to a softer and clearer complexion.
