Relaxation Massage wax is our most contentious blend. There are therapists who absolutely rave about the combination and there are also those who can't stand the scent! If you are unsure of the essential oil combination, you need to try some before committing to a large tub. It's scent is described as a little like straw, a little like grass and a little like herbs. It is a two step scent - in that to get to the deeply relaxing and earthy combination that the essential oils give, you need to give yourself deeply to the scent and move through the first impressions to the second , very earthy core of the combination. This is the deepest kind of relaxation.
Vetivert (Vetiveria zizaniodes) is a scented grass native to India and Sri Lanka and is botanically related to Lemongrass and Citronella and is very good oil for oily skin. It's name means 'Oil of Tranquility' but it's effect is of grounding and stabilising. Part of the earthy quality of the Relaxation Massage Wax comes from the Vetivert, which is distilled from the roots of the plant.
Petitgrain (Citrus aurantium) is from the same family as Neroli and comes from distillation of the leaves and twigs of the sweet orange tree. It is a good oil for depression and convalesence and is a sedative which is good for insomnia linked to seasonal depression and loneliness.
Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) is often used to combat shock, anxiety and fright as it has anti- hyperpnoeic and anti- tachycardiac properties. (over rapid breathing and over rapid heartbeat).
In combination the Relaxation Blend is ideal for a massage with those dealing with fear, anxiety, bereavement and depression. It can also be used when a very deep, almost meditative state is being sought by the therapist.
However do remember that not everybody likes the scent of the Relaxation Blend, but for those who 'get into it' it is a deeply satisfying blend.
