Aromatherapy & Massage
Aromatherapy—or Essential Oil therapy—uses aromatic, concentrated plant extracts to promote physical and psychological well-being. These extracts are carefully obtained through steam distillation, cold pressing, or resin tapping. Cultures around the world have used essential oils for thousands of years. One of the most unique aspects about the history of essential oils is how each culture developed their own rituals around aromatherapy, all without communicating with each other! Evidence of essential oil usage has been found as early as 3000 to 2500 B.C. The Egyptians were one of the first cultures to use aromatic extracts for beauty care, culinary uses, and spiritual and physical well-being.
At Flowersong Herbals & Massage, we use the highest quality, therapeutic-grade essential oil from Young Living Essential Oils in massage sessions. Dawn Marie applies essential oils during massage to relieve stress, uplift the spirit, resolve respiratory troubles and sinus congestion, boost the immune system, create natural defenses against the cold and flu, and resolve a variety of skin complaints. During an aromatherapy massage session, you’ll absorb essential oils through the skin, as well as experiencing the soothing comfort of their aroma.
Raindrop Therapy
You can upgrade any massage sessions—at no additional cost—with essential oils, or schedule a specific Raindrop Thearpy treatment. During the session, we apply nine, therapeutic-grade essential oils to the spine and the feet through massage. Valor, oregano, thyme, basil, cypress, wintergreen, marjoram, aroma siez, and peppermint were specifically chosen for their anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial properties. They work to detoxify your body while supporting the immune system, providing relief from chronic pain and fatigue, and releasing tension and anxiety.
You can also purchase any Young Living Essential Oils from at our downtown Durango, Colorado, studio or online in our store.
