What are the Benefits of an Aromatherapy Scalp Massage and How Can It Enhance My Massage Service?

Last month, we rolled out new massage enhancements to give you an even better experience for massage therapy in Jacksonville, FL - with more options for pain and stress relief.

• Aromatherapy Scalp Massage
• Ear Seed Therapy for Stress Relief and Back and Neck Pain Relief

How do Massage Enhancements Work?

Massage enhancements enrich your massage experience by providing additional pain and stress relief to our already robust massage offerings. We've curated our list of massage enhancements with care to provide the most pampering, luxurious and effective treatments for pain and stress relief. First, it's good to know that enhancements don't "add on" any additional time to your massage, they are done within the time you schedule. We offer 60, 90 and 120 minute massage appointments and we always give you the full time that you book - we don't short you by 10 minutes as many spas and massage studios do. The enhancement may be done at the beginning of your massage or the end of your massage (or sometimes during your massage like the herbal pain relief enhancement). Speak to your therapist about your individual enhancement.

What is the Aromatherapy Scalp Massage Enhancement?

One of our enhancements here at The Wellness Hub is an Aromatherapy Scalp Massage. This service is a 15-minute scalp massage that also includes face and jaw massage, ear massage and neck and shoulder massage if you wish (you can have any combination of these areas targeted). Your therapist will use 100% natural essential oils from our friends at Plant Therapy. You can choose from peppermint, bergamot, lavender or a special mood-lifting blend called "Blues Buster." The scalp massage enhancement is usually done at the beginning of your massage to induce deep relaxation, however, it can also be performed at the end of your service. Please discuss your preference with your therapist.

To perform this service, your massage therapist will instruct you to pick 1 or 2 essential oils for the scalp massage. They will speak to you about if there are any areas you'd like to avoid during your scalp massage (which can also include your face, ears, neck, shoulders and jaw). Then, with you lying face up, the therapist will begin your scalp massage. They will have you inhale the essential oil to begin it's therapeutic effect and may also apply it directly to your scalp (depending on your preference). They will check in about pressure to make sure everything feels good. Make sure to let them know if there are any areas that you want them to focus more on (or avoid) as they provide the service.

What are the Benefits of an Aromatherapy Scalp Massage?

Aromatherapy scalp massage combines the benefits of scalp massage with the therapeutic effects of essential oils. Here are some potential benefits:

1. Improved Blood Circulation: Scalp massage, combined with the use of essential oils, can enhance blood circulation to the scalp. Improved blood flow can help deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, promoting hair growth and overall scalp health.
2. Stress Reduction: Aromatherapy, particularly with calming essential oils such as lavender, can help reduce stress and anxiety. When combined with a soothing scalp massage, this can contribute to an overall sense of relaxation and well-being.
3. Enhanced Mood and Mental Clarity: Certain essential oils have mood-enhancing properties. For example, citrus oils like bergamot or grapefruit can be invigorating and uplifting. The aroma, coupled with the massage, can positively impact your mood and mental clarity. Our Blues Buster blend is excellent or this!
4. Treatment for Dandruff and Dry Scalp: Some essential oils, such as tea tree oil, have antimicrobial and antifungal properties. They may help address issues like dandruff and dry scalp conditions. When applied through massage, these oils can nourish the scalp and reduce flakiness. Our peppermint oil will have positive impact on your scalp's health.
5. Improved Sleep Quality: Aromatherapy scalp massage before bedtime with relaxing essential oils like lavender may promote better sleep quality. The calming effects can help induce a sense of tranquility and relaxation.
6. Headache Relief: Certain essential oils, such as peppermint or eucalyptus, are known for their ability to relieve headaches. When used in a scalp massage, these oils may help alleviate tension and reduce the intensity of headaches.
7. Increased Hair Strength and Shine: The massage itself stimulates the hair follicles and encourages the production of natural oils, promoting healthier and shinier hair. Additionally, the essential oils used in aromatherapy may have nourishing properties that benefit the hair shaft.

How Do I Book a Massage Enhancement?

Currently, our online booking system doesn't allow enhancements to be added when booking. You can give us a call and book your massage and enhancement or you can simply tell us when you arrive which enhancement you'd like to do.
