Definition

Aromatherapy is the use of pure essences of aromatic plants, flowers, and resins that stimulate the sense of smell and are absorbed directly through the skin, allowing the whole body to benefit therapeutically. These essences are used in concentrated form, particularly in essential oils.

Once absorbed by the body, these oils help strike a balance between body and mind. Aromatherapy is perfect for combining with hydro-thermo massage. When added to the bath, essential oils increase the positive effects of massage throughout the body.

Essential oils are the basis for aromatherapy. They help soothe muscles and joints, aid digestion, and eliminate toxins from your system, among other things. They are also excellent as anti-inflammatory tonics and for cellular regeneration.

Skin absorption

Cutaneous absorption is aromatherapy's main therapeutic gateway to the body. Whether diluted in the bathwater or applied during traditional massage, essential oils penetrate every layer of your skin by osmosis, allowing their nutrients to spread throughout your body's system.

Nasal absorption

Inhalation is the most direct absorption method. As the essential oils are dispersed through the air, their scents are immediately captured by your olfactory and respiratory systems. They trigger powerful stimulating or calming reactions as your lungs absorb their nutrients. The Temazkal or the Vedana from BainUltra allows you to benefit fully from aromatherapy and thermotherapy at the same time.

Aromatic immersion

The combined action of skin absorption and inhalation is particularly effective and enjoyable. Hydro-thermo massage provides this aromatic immersion. Depending on which essence is used, your body will be energized and relaxed for several hours through the benefits of aromatic molecules.
