Aromatherapy massages
My grandmother tends a lavender field. She stuffs cushions with it and insists on placing them next to the bed for a calm and restful sleep. I trust my grandmother, but I need to check how aromatherapy works.
Wow! It turns out it works wonders. Massages, pleasant conversations and a cup of tea in the palms of your hands, enriched with the scents of essential oils, can not only provide pleasure but also reduce stress, fatigue and a multitude of things that arise from prolonged work.
So, I descend into the vaults of the Bokšto SPA for a massage with a carefully selected bouquet of essential oils. Soon enough, I realise that the world of scents is so diverse and mysterious that only by trying them will I discover what I like the most.
Thank you, grandmother, for the direction!
Absolutelypure products from Italy are the purest offering the modern market can provide today – highly concentrated, allergen-free and suitable for use with food or cosmetic products. Our absolutes are produced using closed-loop technology, with a mixture of carbon dioxide and ozone gas used in the production process. Finally, absolutes not only offer a captivating aroma but also retain active plant ingredients. When inhaled, after 2 seconds the brain absorbs the molecules of active substances, after 20 minutes they appear in the bloodstream, and after another 22 minutes the effect begins at the cellular level.
This massage technique is particularly gentle, focusing on both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Through asynchronous movements, the guest feels as if in a state of flow – order emerges in the consciousness, time dissolves, the mind “stops” and turmoil and nervousness are replaced by tranquillity and inner satisfaction. The massage achieves a state akin to healthy sleep or meditation. You will feel deep relaxation and rest. Negative emotions disappear, spiritual balance is restored and resistance to stress increases. Sesame oil is mixed with sage, sweet orange and lavender absolutes just before the procedure. Sage, the key ingredient in the highest proportion, promotes the release of dopamine and serotonin, which can evoke feelings of euphoria. Sweet orange helps calm the heartbeat and reduce the release of the stress hormone (cortisol), while lavender helps balance emotions. This specially formulated absolute mixture for the neurosedative massage technique exudes a particularly strong calming effect.
You know what you want, and our Bokšto SPA specialist knows exactly what to offer. After a personalised consultation, you’ll receive valuable advice on where and how to focus the highlights of this procedure. This treatment is suitable for both avid athletes and those who spend long hours at their desks or are experiencing emotional exhaustion for various reasons. During the massage, deep muscles in the neck, shoulders, back and legs are intensely stimulated using a specially formulated massage cream.
The procedure is performed using a unique mixture of Arnica compress cream and sesame oil. Arnica cream contains anti-inflammatory and deep relaxation properties. The massage cream mix is complemented by cypress, eucalyptus and peppermint absolutes. One of the active ingredients in cypress – cortisone – effectively alleviates pain, eucalyptus reduces joint pain and exhibits analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, while peppermint, in addition to effectively relieving muscle pain, has a unique cooling effect.
The human face carries shadows, sun rays, glances of passers-by, our own reflections in the mirror… I pause. The thought arises: how nice it would be to give the face more radiance, beauty, and charm.
The secret of aromatherapy face and head massage is simple: slow, gentle, and rhythmic.
The citrus aroma resonates so harmoniously, complementing the non-greasy, nourishing face cream. After performing relaxing and toning massage movements on the face, we proceed to the head. The combination of face and head into a unified energetic system creates conditions for comprehensive relaxation and deep rest. This result is achieved without outer effort, simply using gentleness, professional skill, and quality cosmetic products.
This procedure is designed for deep physical relaxation – during it, the body calms down, positive emotions flood in, and lost strength and self-confidence are regained. With slow, deep movements, this massage is a true source of relaxation.
Sesame oil is mixed with bitter orange, lavender and wild ylang-ylang absolutes just before the procedure. The active ingredients in bitter orange and lavender absolutes promote physical relaxation and contribute to relieving muscle and joint pain and inflammatory processes, while ylang-ylang soothes the central nervous system, breathing and the body’s emotional response to external stimuli.
This procedure offers comprehensive effects: it helps achieve deep physical relaxation and has a nourishing and moisturising effect on the skin. Based on a special technique, this massage is suitable for everyone feeling physical fatigue, wanting to relax tense muscles and switch to a physical rest mode.
Moisturising, softening and suitable for all skin types, coconut butter is mixed with verbena and myrrh absolutes just before the procedure. Verbena is known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, while the relaxing effect of myrrh is perfect for drier, mature skin.
When warmth is lacking, the best comfort is classics! It’s a relaxing massage with a citrus fruit aroma. Just thinking about oranges makes people smile. The citrus fruit scent used during the procedure provides energy, lifts the mood and allows for full recovery after a day of work and stress.
Sesame oil mixed with grapefruit, lemon and mandarin absolutes is used for the massage just before the procedure. The room is filled with the freshness of a sunny morning, and the therapist’s hands, with gentle, deep movements, reach not only the muscles, joints and tendons but also the emotional balance points which, when stimulated, produce happiness hormones – endorphins.
Is calmness a good mood? Sometimes, such a question arises when the surrounding world only increases its pace, and one desires to pause and understand what is happening.
I calm down – after this relaxing massage, I feel as if I have vacationed in a cosy cosmic refuge. Anxiety and nervousness are left far behind, replaced by a sense of peace, even bliss.
Such a great effect is caused by sesame oil used for the massage, mixed with red clover, cardamom and ginger absolutes just before the procedure. Red clover is the main driver of tranquillity in this mixture. Cardamom positively affects mood, reduces anxiety and is excellent for toning in cases of nervous exhaustion. Ginger – another absolute known for its stimulating effects – helps overcome bad moods, mental tension and exhaustion.
Thoughts in your head never cease. The subconscious works while sleeping, processing the day’s experiences captured in the consciousness. However, this aromatherapy procedure, combined with a relaxing body massage technique, takes on a special form of mental relaxation.
Sesame oil, in plain view of the guest, is mixed with lavender, rosemary, sandalwood, frankincense and myrrh absolutes. The active ingredients in these absolutes promote deep emotional relaxation and suppress signs of stress and anxiety, while myrrh and frankincense absolutes especially delight mature, dry skin. The mixture of absolutes exudes a subtle aroma of luxury.
The relaxing massage procedure, harmonised with a bouquet of scents, affects the internal state of the body, prepares the mind for deep night sleep, relieves tension and creates a state of complete relaxation.
For the massage, a base sesame oil is mixed with myrtle, ginger lily and marjoram absolutes just before the procedure. The active ingredients in these absolutes promote deep emotional relaxation and suppress signs of stress and anxiety. Due to the presence of ginger lily in the composition, this blend is ideal for those experiencing difficulty falling asleep, making the procedure most suitable for the evening, a few hours before bedtime.
