Aromatherapy Massage

An aromatherapy massage with a choice of 4 kinds of essential oils.

Aromatherapy is the practice of using volatile plant oils, including essential oils, for psychological and physical well-being.

Essential oils which are the pure "essence" of a plant, have been found to provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly and safely.

The Benefit of an "Aroma"

Essential oils that are inhaled into the lungs are believed to offer both psychological and physical benefits; not only does the aroma of the natural essential oil stimulate the brain to trigger a reaction, but the natural constituents (naturally occurring chemicals) of the essential oil are drawn into the lungs and can also supply physical benefit. If not done correctly and safely, however, the use of essential oils can also have severe consequences.

The Benefit of Physical Application

Oils that are applied to the skin are believed to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The components of the various oils are believed to aid in a variety of health, beauty and hygiene conditions. Since essential oils are so powerful and concentrated, they should never be applied to the skin in their undiluted form. To apply essential oils to the skin, "carrier oils" which are pure vegetable oils are used to dilute the essential oils and "carry" them to the skin. Common carrier oils include sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil and grapeseed oil.

Body Treatments

Available treatments at club nirvana are body scrub, body wrap and body mask

Body treatments are essentially facials for the whole body. The most popular body treatment is a salt glow or body scrub, an exfoliating treatment where the therapist rubs off the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This will leave your skin feeling velvety soft.

Body Scrub

Key to beautiful skin is through exfoliation / Scrub or removal of dead skin cells. This refinement of the epidermis, not only makes the skin feel smoother; but actually accelerates the growth of new cells. The new cells are better at absorbing moisture applied to the surface and drawing moisture from the reserves deep within the skin, this helps maintain the moisture balance needed for healthy, glowing skin. Two varieties are available at Club Nirvana
a. Tropical Smootie – (Coffee based) – Coffee beans are overly abrasive od removing dry skin and caffeine in coffee can temporally give the skin a toned appearance and quell minor sin irritation.
b. Apple Crisp - - A mixture of apple and cucumber for a luxurious and soothing exfoliate.

Body Wrap

Starts with a steam bath and one lays on his stomach, the massage therapist rubs a mixture of sea salt, honey or Pumpkin / orange and aromatic essential oils into the skin. Once the whole body is gently massage which takes maybe ten or fifteen minutes, she drapes a plastic and linen sheet over you and goes away for about 20 minutes while you rest. When she returns you shower it all off without soap, leaving a nice coating of oil.

Papaya Body Mask

A wrap of fresh papaya exfoliates well while your skin absorbs the minerals and enzymes from this exotic fruit. This refreshing treatment leaves the skin moisturized, toned and helps promote the formation of elastin and collagen for firmer, healthier skin. It's an invigorating treatment, and it's a good idea to get your scrub before your massage if you're having both.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is a classic approach to massage. The strokes are continuous and fast at times. Pressure is moderate. Strokes are elongated and also include kneading and cupping motions.

When you climb on the table for a traditional feel-good rubdown, the technique is most likely to be Swedish massage. This is the primary technique taught in massage schools and is the most popular form of bodywork practiced in the West. Swedish massage employs soft strokes on the more delicate and bony structures of the body, such as the face, hands and feet, and stronger strokes over thickly muscled areas that retain stress, such as the neck and shoulders. The careful attention to the amount of pressure makes Swedish massage great for relaxation.

Shiatsu massage

Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing therapy. It can help in a wide range of conditions - from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health. Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent the build up of stress in our daily lives.

Common conditions helped by Shiatsu include:

Reflexology

Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. Reflexology is a serious advance in the health field and should not be confused with massage.
