Aromatherapy Massage at Home: What It Is and Who It Suits
How an aromatherapy massage works, essential oil safety and prices at home in Dubai.
Last updated:
An aromatherapy massage is a medium-pressure massage using a carrier oil blended with essential oils, such as lavender or eucalyptus, chosen for the mood you want: calm, uplifted or clear-headed. It suits stress and poor sleep more than stubborn knots. At home in Dubai with Zigy, it costs AED 199 for 60 minutes, AED 219 for 90 and AED 319 for 120.
How It Works
The massage itself is similar to a Swedish massage, with flowing strokes at medium pressure. The difference is the oil. Essential oils are diluted in a carrier oil and warmed in the hands, so you breathe in the scent throughout the session. People mainly book it for how it makes them feel: calmer, sleepier or more refreshed.
Common Oils and Why They Are Used
| Oil | Usually chosen for |
|---|---|
| Lavender | Calm and better sleep |
| Eucalyptus | A fresh, clear-headed feeling |
| Peppermint | Cooling, energising; used sparingly |
| Orange or bergamot | An uplifted mood |
| Rose or geranium | A soft, comforting scent |
These are traditional uses and personal preferences, not medical treatments.
Who It Suits
- People who want to unwind after a stressful week
- Anyone who finds scent relaxing
- Those who want medium pressure: firmer than a light massage, gentler than deep tissue
Safety First
- Allergies and sensitive skin: tell the therapist about any skin reactions, nut allergies (some carrier oils come from nuts) or asthma triggered by scents.
- Pregnancy: our massages are not suitable during pregnancy.
- After the session: some citrus oils can make skin more sensitive to sunlight; avoid strong sun on treated skin for the rest of the day.
- Medical conditions: if you have epilepsy, high blood pressure or another condition, ask your doctor first.

Aromatherapy vs Other Massages
If you want relaxation without scent, choose Swedish. If you want firm work on knots, choose deep tissue. Compare them all in massage types compared.
