Is Aromatherapy Massage Safe for Everyone?
The Body Wellness Clinic | Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire
Aromatherapy massage is generally a gentle and safe treatment, but because it involves essential oils as well as massage technique, there are a few things worth knowing before you book.
Skin Sensitivity and Allergies
Essential oils are concentrated, so it’s worth mentioning any known allergies, sensitive skin, or previous reactions to fragranced products before your session. Your therapist can select oils or adjust the blend accordingly, or use an unscented carrier oil if needed.
Medical Conditions and Medication
Certain health conditions and medications can affect which oils and techniques are appropriate, so it’s important to flag anything relevant — including skin conditions, respiratory issues, or anything you’re currently taking or being treated for.
A Note on Our Services
For transparency, The Body Wellness Clinic does not currently offer pregnancy or postnatal massage, so if you’re pregnant, please get in touch before booking so we can advise or point you towards a more appropriate specialist.
Tell Us Before You Book
As with all our treatments, new clients complete a consultation form before their first session, covering your general health, lifestyle and any areas of concern — this helps your therapist choose oils and techniques that are safe and appropriate for you.
