Wellness 27/09/2021
The natural cosmetics that we practice at SPALAS would not make sense without the use of essential oils . But what exactly are they and what are they for?
Essential oils are extracted from the leaves, flowers, wood, roots, or seeds. In addition to being very aromatic, non-greasy and volatile, they provide us with many health benefits. They are increasingly used in natural cosmetics, and at SPALAS we are great lovers of them. But... what can essential oils bring you? Mainly its application is through the skin or smell.
Inhaling these oils stimulates our olfactory system by stimulating breathing, they stimulate the nervous system by relaxing or increase blood flow.
Each essential oil has some properties or others that can be:
- Analgesics: such as incense or lavender.
- Calming: lavender
- Anti-inflammatories: like orange and lemon
- Stimulants: basil and mint
- Regenerative and healing: such as almond oil, incense or geranium
- Toning: like rosemary
Among the multiple benefits we can highlight the following:
- Sleep better
- relax
- Prevent infections
- Soothe the skin after aggressions such as the sun
- Avoid insect bites
Our treatment menu includes different massages and therapies such as the Lavender Wrap that relieves pain and provides mental and muscular relaxation or the Aromatic Oil Bath that provides silky skin and a pleasant relaxing effect.
