Hot Aromatherapy Candle Massage
Candle massage is a wonderful alternative to a series of expensive beauty treatments. It is also important to note that candle massage has a positive effect not only on the body but also on the state of mind. At the Royal Thai Spa, this procedure is performed by highly qualified specialists using exclusively natural aromatic oils and candles.
Features of the Candle Massage Technique
Since ancient times, people have known about the beneficial effects of heat energy and aromatherapy on the body. The candle massage technique was initially particularly popular in the countries of the Eastern Hemisphere. This is because the “Candle Massage” treatment results not only in nourished, healthy skin but also in a positive mood.
The main secret lies in the fact that the massage procedure is based not so much on the specifics of the technique itself as on the positive effect on the body as a whole of the beneficial components contained in the special candles. Thus, depending on the client’s individual preferences, the candles may contain:
- natural beeswax;
- shea butter;
- cocoa butter;
- rosemary oil or other natural essential oils;
- a vitamin complex in the form of an oil extract.
The essence of the procedure is that, in the initial stage, the massage therapist warms natural aromatic candles to a temperature comfortable for your body and then applies them to specific areas, the face, or the entire body. The candles are lit 5–7 minutes in advance so that the healing essential oils and wax can react with each other. Next, the candle flames are extinguished, and the melted wax mixed with oils is dripped onto the body or the therapist’s hands. The risk of burns in this case is reduced to zero, as special candles with a low melting point are used for the massage.
The Benefits of Aromatherapy Candle Massage
To elaborate on the benefits of the candle wax massage technique, it offers numerous benefits for your body and soul, namely:
- thanks to the natural oils and wax in the composition, the skin is deeply moisturized;
- the upper layers of the epidermis are enriched with beneficial elements;
- the skin regenerates, becoming smooth and silky for a long time.
In addition, thanks to the effect of essential oil aromas on the olfactory receptors, you can combat stress, bad moods, fatigue, and tension.
Of course, at first glance, you could do a hot candle massage at home, but for this procedure, you would need to prepare a special mixture of natural ingredients yourself, most of which are not available for purchase. That is why we suggest saving time and entrusting your body and mind to the experienced professionals at our spa.
We approach all treatments with the utmost care so that you can relax to the fullest in our salon!
