Select your essential oil
Your therapist recommends the right blend during consultation.
A full body oil massage uses premium carrier oils — applied warm to the skin — as the medium for therapeutic touch. Long effleurage strokes, kneading petrissage and gentle pressure work the muscles while the oil nourishes and hydrates the skin simultaneously.
At IK Spa in Business Bay, our oil massage sessions are also our aromatherapy massage sessions — differentiated only by your oil selection. Choose a pure carrier oil for classic oil therapy, or add essential oils to layer in scent-based benefits for the mind and mood.
Every session begins with a brief consultation. Your therapist selects the right oil blend for your goal — stress relief, better sleep, mood uplift, skin nourishment or general relaxation. The oil is warmed, the room prepared, and the session begins entirely to your preference.
"The oil is not decoration — it is the medium through which the therapy and the skin both receive what they need."
Each oil changes the nature of the session. Your therapist will guide you — or blend two. All essential oils are diluted in a carrier oil to the correct therapeutic ratio.
The most universally effective relaxation oil. Lavender reduces cortisol, calms the nervous system and promotes deeper sleep. Ideal for evening sessions and clients experiencing anxiety or insomnia.
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties make eucalyptus ideal for muscle aches, tension headaches and post-workout recovery. The sharp, clean scent also improves mental clarity and focus.
A citrus oil with uniquely calming properties — it lifts the mood without being stimulating. Studies show bergamot reduces anxiety and depression markers. Excellent for emotional balance sessions.
Gentle and anti-inflammatory, chamomile is the preferred choice for clients with sensitive or reactive skin. It soothes irritation, reduces redness and delivers a soft, floral calm.
Stimulating rather than sedating — rosemary improves blood flow, enhances memory and provides a natural energy lift. Ideal for morning sessions or clients feeling fatigued and mentally foggy.
Rich, warm and woody — sandalwood induces deep mental quietness without sedation. Particularly effective for clients who struggle to switch off mentally and for sleep improvement.
Carrier oils penetrate the skin's outer layer, delivering vitamins A, E and essential fatty acids that improve hydration, barrier function and texture with every session.
The combined effect of therapeutic touch and inhaled essential oils reduces cortisol more significantly than massage alone. The scent-based limbic response adds a second channel of stress relief.
Aromatic compounds inhaled during the massage interact with the brain's emotional centre — producing measurable shifts in anxiety, mood and clarity that last well beyond the session.
Warm oil allows deeper, more effective muscle work without discomfort. Anti-inflammatory oils like eucalyptus and rosemary further reduce soreness and accelerate recovery.
Lavender, chamomile and sandalwood have clinically demonstrated effects on sleep quality. An evening oil massage using these oils is one of the most effective non-pharmaceutical sleep interventions available.
The flowing strokes of oil massage — particularly with rosemary or citrus oils — support lymphatic circulation, helping the body clear metabolic waste and reduce mild fluid retention.
A full body massage using warm carrier oil. Focuses on skin nourishment, muscle relaxation and the pleasure of therapeutic touch. Essential oils optional at your request.
The same oil massage with essential oils blended in. Adds a scent-based therapeutic dimension — aromatic compounds absorbed through skin and inhaled during the session.
A focused oil session — back, shoulders and key tension areas. Perfect for first visits or a targeted treatment.
Our most-booked session — thorough full-body oil treatment with personalised oil blend consultation and extended back work.
A complete aromatherapy journey — full oil consultation, head-to-toe treatment with scalp and foot focus. Ideal for couples or a full wellness day.
Every question deserves a considered answer.
