Allergy Patch Test
If you have not experienced the use of essential oils before, or suffer from very sensitive skin, it would be advisable to have a patch test done. Diluted oil is applied to the back of the ear and left for 24 hours to see if there is any reaction.

Treatments
Tranquility offers a range of Aromatherapy treatments, all of which can be tailored to suit your needs. Detailed below are two examples of treatments, but for further information please refer to our price list for the cost and range of treatments offered.

Full body massage
After your consultation the therapist will have established the reasons for why you are in need of an aromatherapy treatment. Based on the information given the therapist then will choose the essential oils suitable for your condition(s). These essential oils are then blended with a carrier or base oil for application by massage.
You will have already undressed in private down to your underwear and will be lying face down on the couch covered in towels ready for your massage. The aromatherapy massage will then begin, starting with a deep relaxing massage to your back and shoulders and back of legs. The therapist will then ask you to turn over onto your back. The therapist will continue your massage starting with your legs, then onto your arms and stomach. At the end of the massage the therapist will finish with a very relaxing facial massage.

Cellulite treatment (Body brush supplied to client for own use)
The thighs are brushed vigorously to improve circulation and to get rid of toxins, the whole legs are then massaged with a blend of essential oils which are known to improve skin condition and assist with the elimination of toxins.

After Treatment
After your massage you will be left alone on the couch and be allowed to ‘come round’ in your own time, water will be given as refreshment. The therapist will record the oils used on your treatment card, detailing the effects of the oils used and any advice given to you. Your therapist will also discuss and agree with you, your treatment plan and go through the aftercare advice sheet. It is very difficult to predict how you will feel after a treatment as so many people react in different ways after receiving a massage. However clients may experience some the following: Lethargy, relaxation, release of tension, soreness of muscles, redness of skin, feeling of well being and in some cases a marked increase in energy levels.

Healing Crisis
After a treatment some clients may experience what therapists call ‘a healing crises’ and you may experience the following:
A headache, Cold/Flu symptoms, going to the toilet more often and emotional upset (crying).
If you do experience healing crises, there is nothing to be alarmed about, it is the body’s way of naturally removing the toxins and negative energy which have been released during the treatment. The symptoms should only last for a couple of days, but if you are at all concerned please do not hesitate to speak to your therapist.
