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'. 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.
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.
