High-quality essential oils combine with mindful massage — a holistic sensory experience at Tantra Shiva.
The aromatherapy massage at Tantra Shiva in Cologne combines the power of essential oils with professional massage technique. Essential oils are highly concentrated plant essences that have been used in various cultures for millennia to promote well-being and inner balance.
During the massage, the oils work through two pathways: through the skin, their active compounds enter the body and unfold their nourishing and relaxing effect. Simultaneously, you absorb the scent of the oils through the nose — and this pathway is remarkably direct. The sense of smell is directly connected to the limbic system, the part of the brain that governs emotions and memories.
The result is a massage that not only relaxes the body but also calms the mind and positively influences mood. Depending on the chosen oil, the effect can be calming, invigorating, harmonising or sensual — tailored to what you need right now.
At Tantra Shiva, we exclusively use high-quality, pure essential oils, carefully diluted in a nourishing carrier oil. Before the massage, we discuss with you which scent direction and effect you desire.
Our most popular oils include lavender for deep calm and stress relief, ylang-ylang for a sensual, warm atmosphere, rose for emotional harmonisation and sandalwood for a grounding, meditative effect. Invigorating variations such as citrus oils or eucalyptus are also available if you desire a refreshing massage.
If you have known allergies or skin sensitivities, please let us know during the consultation. We will carefully tailor the oil selection to your needs.
Every aromatherapy massage at Tantra Shiva begins with a personal consultation. Together, we select the essential oils that match your current needs, taking into account your preferences, your mood and any physical considerations.
The massage itself covers the entire body: back, shoulders, neck, arms, legs and, upon request, face and scalp. The techniques are gentle to medium-firm and designed to optimally work the essential oils into the skin. Stroking and kneading movements alternate, always accompanied by the scent of the chosen oils filling the entire room.
