Aromatherapy is the modern term for the use of natural pure essential oils - used to promote and support health as well as physical and general well being. Pure essential oils are distilled and extracted from herbs, flowers, fruits and other sections of botanical plant species.
These oils are then used, singularly or in combination, to restore a sense of peace and inner harmony. When these concentrated pure essential oils are extracted from the plant source they contain distinctive fragrances. More importantly they possess antiseptic, anti-viral and anti-bacterial characteristics according to their properties.
The oils work in two ways, directly by inhalation (tiny aromatic molecules are picked up in the nasal passage) and also by being absorbed through the skin into the blood stream in minute quantities. The aroma of the oil has a direct effect on the part of the brain which governs your innermost feelings. The brain is stimulated to respond to the mood provoked by the aroma of the pure essential oil. When prepared as an aromatherapy blend and applied to the skin, the essential oils are absorbed into the bloodstream, simultaneously affecting how you think and feel.

Hot stone massage $158 (1.5 hours).
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well.
It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release.
Before you arrive, the massage therapist sanitizes the stones and heats them in 120 and 150 degree water.
* The therapist uses traditional strokes of Balinese massage while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another.
* The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.
