What is the anti-stress massage with a hot candle
The anti-stress massage with a hot candle is a relaxing therapy in which warmth, scent and touch merge into one. Instead of ordinary massage oil, it uses a special massage candle – made from natural plant oils and cocoa or shea butter, which melt as it burns into a warm, velvety oil. That is what the therapist massages the body with.
- Warmthwidens the vessels and releases the muscles from the very first touch
- Scentworks through the sense of smell and calms the mind
- Touchslow, enveloping movements across the whole body
Warmth is the heart of this therapy. The melted oil is just above body temperature – warm enough to envelop and release the muscles at the very first touch, but never hot or unpleasant. The warmth widens the blood vessels, speeds up circulation and allows the body to let go far faster and more deeply than with room-temperature oil. The muscles soften, the tension melts away, and the nervous system switches from stress mode into rest mode.
At the same time, the scent of the candle fills the room and works along the path of aromatherapy – calming the mind through the sense of smell, while the warm oil nourishes and softens the skin. The combination of warmth, scent and slow, enveloping movements lowers cortisol levels and stimulates the release of the body's calming hormones.
The therapy for those days when body and mind simply cannot let go on their own.
The warmth does half the work before the hands have even begun theirs.

When not to have a hot candle massage
For your safety, we recommend postponing the massage or consulting your doctor first if:
- You have a fever, an infection or acute inflammation.
- You have varicose veins, thrombosis or serious vascular conditions – warmth is contraindicated with these.
- You have uncontrolled high blood pressure or serious heart problems.

If you have sensitive skin or a low tolerance to heat, tell your therapist in advance – the temperature is always adjusted to your comfort.
