The essential oils are both absorbed into the blood through the skin and inhaled. The aromas work on the brain and nervous system through stimulation of the olfactory nerves.

The massage itself is generally slower and less stimulating than a Swedish Massage, it warms the skin to allow the absorption of the oils allowing them to carry out the hard work.
