Aroma massage, also known as aromatherapy massage, combines the therapeutic benefits of massage with the use of essential oils derived from aromatic plants. This massage technique involves the application of gentle pressure to the body’s soft tissues, such as muscles and connective tissue, while incorporating the inhalation and absorption of essential oil molecules through the skin and respiratory system.

During an aroma massage session, the massage therapist dilutes essential oils in a carrier oil and applies them to the skin. As the therapist massages the body, the aroma of the essential oils is released, providing both physical and psychological benefits.
