A Beginner's Guide to Aromatherapy Massage Oils

Freya Team·

Lavender, eucalyptus, jasmine — what do these oils actually do? Our therapists explain the most popular aromatherapy oils and how to choose yours.

Each essential oil carries specific therapeutic properties that influence your mood, nervous system, and muscle recovery. Here is a quick guide to help you choose.

Lavender — The All-Rounder

Lavender calms the nervous system, reduces anxiety, and promotes deep sleep. Ideal for an evening session when you want to fully unwind.

Eucalyptus — The Refresher

Eucalyptus opens the respiratory tract and invigorates tired muscles. Popular for morning sessions or when you need an energising reset.

Jasmine — The Mood Lifter

Jasmine is warming and uplifting — it reduces anxiety and has long been used in Thai aromatherapy traditions. Perfect if stress has been affecting your mood.

Coconut Oil — The Skin Nourisher

Rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, coconut oil deeply moisturises skin. We offer a dedicated Coconut Oil Massage that uses it as the primary medium.

  • Lavender → calm, sleep, anxiety relief
  • Eucalyptus → energy, respiratory, muscle refresh
