Aromatherapy Meets Tropical Paradise
Costa Rica is home to over 12,000 plant species, many of which have been used for centuries in traditional healing practices. Aromatherapy massage in Jaco draws on this rich botanical heritage, combining expert massage techniques with the therapeutic properties of essential oils.
What is Aromatherapy Massage?
Aromatherapy massage integrates essential oils — concentrated plant extracts — into traditional massage techniques. The oils are typically diluted in a carrier oil and applied directly to the skin, where they're absorbed into the bloodstream while their scent stimulates the olfactory system.
Essential Oils We Use
Lavender
The universal relaxation oil. Lavender reduces anxiety, promotes sleep, and has anti-inflammatory properties. It's our most requested oil for evening massage sessions.
Eucalyptus
Perfect for clearing the sinuses and invigorating the senses. Eucalyptus is especially beneficial for travelers adjusting to Costa Rica's humid climate.
Coconut
A Costa Rican staple, coconut oil is deeply moisturizing and has natural antibacterial properties. It leaves the skin soft and nourished — perfect for skin that's been exposed to sun and salt water.
Lemongrass
This tropical grass has a bright, citrusy scent that energizes and uplifts. It's also an excellent natural insect repellent, making it ideal for outdoor massage sessions.
Ylang Ylang
Known as the "flower of flowers," ylang ylang has a rich, floral scent that reduces stress and promotes feelings of joy. It's a popular choice for couples massage.
Peppermint
Cooling and invigorating, peppermint oil is perfect for relieving headaches, muscle pain, and fatigue. It's especially refreshing in Jaco's tropical heat.
