Essential oils are the perfect compliment to a Rumor Has It Day Spa massage.

Essential oils can help in a variety of ways during a massage. First, they help you relax and unwind and get your body and mind ready to be pampered and taken care of. The oils released are a calming way to let your brain relax and your spirit unwind.

In addition, the oils help with detoxification, drainage and circulation issues. The aromatherapy released during the massage helps improve your muscles flexibility and mobility. Some scents also aid in reducing headaches, stress and tension throughout your body.

Our aromatherapy options are available at no additional cost during the massage. Here are a few of our more popular oils.
