Lavender Essential Oil Offers Multiple Benefits for the Clients Who are Visiting a Spa
Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils because it has a wonderful fragrance that women enjoy. Many gardeners grow lavender because it has beautiful purple blooms and an aromatic fragrance. When clients visit a day spa to have massage therapy, they can request a lavender-scented essential oil during a session. Lavender offers several benefits for the body, including:
· Eliminating the bacteria that causes infection
· Reducing inflammation in your sensitive tendons and muscles
· Increasing your relaxation
· Reducing your mental stress
· Inducing restful sleep
Many Products Contain Lavender
In addition to using lavender-scented creams, essential oils or lotions during
massage therapy, this floral scent is popular in other products, including:
· Potpourri
· Bath soap
· Cold sore treatments
· Laundry detergents
· Air fresheners

Lavender Essential Oil Blends Nicely With Other Scents
When clients arrive at a day spa, they may want a complete experience that includes aromatherapy while they are having massage therapy. A client can recline on a padded massage table as the therapist dims the lighting, plays soothing music and burns lavender-scented candles. This is also the perfect time for a client to request lavender essential oils that are frequently blended with other scents. Some of the scents that blend nicely with lavender include:
· Vanilla
· Chamomile
· Geranium
· Orange
· Jasmine
Using Lavender Oil During a Massage Creates an Enjoyable Experience
Therapists enjoy using body oils during massages to protect a client's skin as they perform stroking motions. While there are unscented oils that a massage therapist can use, it is more enjoyable for a client to use a fragrant product that is scented with lavender.
