Benefits of Aromatherapy Massage

The combination provides positive effects on your mind and body that linger long after the massage is complete.

When used according to professional recommendation, the essential oils used during an aromatherapy massage offer a host of benefits:

Improved healing of the mind and body through manipulation of your soft tissues.
Heightened relaxation achieved through inhalation of oil scents that calm emotions.
Mood enhancement, particularly with citrus scents.
Positive emotional health through scent-triggered positive memories and feelings.
Reduced inflammation through increased circulation brought about by invigorating and cooling essential oils such as peppermint.

There’s an Essential Oil for That

Some of the most popular aromatherapy massage essential oils are bergamot, cedarwood, chamomile, eucalyptus, geranium, ginger, grapefruit, lemon, orange, patchouli, peppermint, sweet marjoram, and tea tree oil. Three favorites of our guests include:

Lavender. Along with peppermint and eucalyptus, lavender essential oil helps relieve muscle tension and headaches. It soothes the skin and is said to slow the progression of wrinkles. Prized for its relaxing qualities, it’s also often used in bed linen sprays and pulse point applications.
Sage. The three types of sage oil, Spanish, common, and clary, offer unique relaxation benefits for anxiety and other mood disorders. Great for your skin, the sage oil scent also has a stimulating effect and is used to cleanse negativity from the air.
Mandarin. Sweet, clean, and vibrant all at once, this beautiful scent has an overall calming effect and is often used to address digestive problems. The oil can also be used on the skin and is used to treat acne.

The pampering solution you need could be right at the end of your nose! Talk to us about adding an aromatherapy massage treatment to your stay at the Inn. It’s the perfect way to make your Healdsburg stay a more memorable and relaxing one.

How to Find the Best Spa in Healdsburg

When you search for a spa Healdsburg or otherwise, there are several things you need to look for. You need to find one that uses local workers, one that focuses on the customer experience, and one that is within easy reach of the community as a whole without having a long commute. In some cases, you can find several great qualities such as these within the same spa Healdsburg.

Only Locals

Smiling woman in spa holding flower Local people are the best people for a relaxing experience. While it may sound almost too easy to settle in and relax when you are on a vacation, this becomes more difficult when there is an inherent stress level within the people at your spa Healdsburg. The more relaxed they are in what they are doing, the better off you are going to be. This relaxation starts with being highly familiar with the area, and with having a reasonable commute into work. While their stress levels may be masked by professionalism, the easiest way to have a great and relaxing experience is to be tended to by people who are themselves in a relaxed state of mind.

The Amazing Experience

There are plenty of occasions in life where a great experience seems to simply happen without any sort of planning. Unfortunately, this type of occasion is a serious rarity. For most kinds of businesses, it can be a significant feat just to provide their product or service in a timely and effective manner. To focus on the actual experience that someone has when they walk in the door is something that all too many business owners seem to consider too much to think about. But when you get into a spa in Healdsburg that focuses on providing you with a great experience that soothes all of your senses, that long day of hiking, biking and checking out the breweries will not seem so strenuous.

Simple to Get To

Getting to your favorite spa should not be a stressful activity in and of itself. The idea is to find a place that you can easily get to with a short drive, and ideally get to on foot. In a city of 11,000 people, nothing should be a lengthy commute away, particularly if it is designed to provide a relaxing experience to the city’s visitors. When you find a spa that is relaxing just getting there, this is the right spa.

Visit the Camellia Inn this Fall!

Autumn is one of the best times of year to come to the Camellia Inn, where the weather and the blooms are just a few of the great reasons to stay. The history never stops, and neither do all the fun things to do in Healdsburg California.

Experience Camellia Inn

Smiling woman in coat playing with leaves during fall Spa treatment is especially fun during the fall, since it lets you relax a bit before all of the stresses that the end of the year brings on. At the Camellia Inn, you can have one of our licensed massage therapists come right to your room and deliver relaxation that will help all your cares melt away.

If you want to take a stroll, you will have plenty to see. Outside the Camellia Inn’s 1869 Victorian building, there are more than 50 different kinds of camellia flowers to see. The area has been awash in diverse plant life since the Victorian era, when camellias were the most popular type of flower around. Professionals in the horticultural field Dr. Seawell and Luther Burbank worked in both researching and planting the Healdsburg gardens that are still well known, leaving a legacy you can still enjoy today.

Camellias have always stood for loveliness and excellence in the Language of Flowers. Since some camellias only bloom during the autumn, you will get to experience something different from what the snow birds and summer stayers get to see. If you have never stayed during the fall, the views alone are worth it, even though you might not want to take a dip in the pool if the temperature gets under 60.

Healdsburg is a great place to visit, even as the fall begins to succumb to the winter chill. Even in November, the temperature rarely gets below the mid 40s, and there are less than 7 days with rain. Clear skies and only a mild chill make visiting the Camellia Inn a wonderful respite for the near end of the year.

Healdsburg itself is an amazing place to visit, with a laid back culture that produces some of the finest wines in the country. Often voted one of the top 10 best small towns in the US, strolling and shopping in Healdsburg is a great way to spend time. The fact that the Camellia Inn provides you with a host of wine vouchers means you can sample a tremendous number of delicious libations that are all made locally. Contact us for more information.

Healdsburg Breakfast – Enjoy with the Kids

“I love breakfast! Not only is it the most important meal of the day, but I loved waking up to – the smell of bacon in the morning was my favorite thing as a kid!” — Rachel Hollis

The smell of Sizzling bacon, fresh brewed coffee, Hot maple Syrup and so many more breakfast smells gets us all excited to dig in and fill our bellies. Fresh fruit, Orange Juice, Pancakes oh my! Scrambled Eggs, Sausage, Avocado Toast Oh My. Sorry, we went full breakfast Wizard of Oz mode right there. But breakfast is such an important meal and it can be had at any time of the day in our opinion. Our Healdsburg Breakfast at the Camellia Inn is obviously a great option for you when you stay with us. But the Healdsburg Breakfast scene is sensational, so we’d like to give you an idea of what that scene looks like.

Costeaux French Bakery & Café

Healdsburg Breakfast

We can’t start this breakfast list off without first talking about Costeaux French Bakery & Café. They are located on Healdsburg Ave, which is only a few minutes away from the Camellia Inn. Costeaux’s is extremely popular here in Healdsburg. Their reach goes even deeper with their exceptional breads and pastries being delivered to many other restaurants and businesses all throughout Sonoma County. This Healdsburg Breakfast staple has menu items from Omelette’s, to Avocado toast, to Monte Cristo Sandwiches, to so many other delicious options. We highly recommend this Healdsburg breakfast staple when you come to our beautiful town. Head over to their website so you can look their entire menu over. http://www.costeaux.com/

Skillets Cafe

Okay, so this restaurant isn’t a Healdsburg Breakfast choice, but it’s only a ten-minute drive away. Skillets is located in Windsor, which is just South of Healdsburg. We’ve eaten there a handful of times and many of our guests have as well. From the Garden Skillet, to the Country Skillet, to The Mexican Skillet, to breakfast sandwiches and Omelettes, Skillet’s Café has you covered. It’s not a Healdsburg Breakfast location but it is a solid option for you and your family to enjoy. Don’t hesitate to head to Windsor to enjoy Skillets Café. They don’t have a website, but they open at 6am every morning and close by 3pm. Head over there, you won’t be disappointed.

Ana’s Café and Espresso

Another great Healdsburg Breakfast place to go to is Ana’s Café and Espresso. Honestly, their breakfast menu isn’t extravagant, but it’s delicious. Their breakfast burritos are exceptional as are their breakfast sandwiches. The coffee and espresso drinks shouldn’t be ignored. Ana’s Café and Espresso will treat you right and get you back on the road quicker than most other restaurants. This Healdsburg Breakfast business doesn’t have a website, but they open at 5 am everyday but on Sunday they are closed. Check this Healdsburg Breakfast spot out, it’s a little gem!

The Brass Rabbit

The next Healdsburg Breakfast spot we want to tell you about is The Brass Rabbit. This Healdsburg spot is open everyday from 5pm to 9pm. But on Saturday and Sunday they open their kitchen up at 9 am for an exceptional Brunch menu. This menu is filled with items like Avocado Toast, Brioche French Toast, Spring Vegetable Frittata, Benedict, a simple Two egg breakfast and a plethora of other choices for you. Everything on the Brass Rabbit’s Healdsburg Breakfast menu is reasonably priced and presented beautifully. If you have a free weekend coming up, we suggest you come stay with us at the Camellia Inn and walk over to The Brass Rabbit for an inviting and filling Healdsburg Breakfast experience. If you’d like to know more about the Brass Rabbit, click the following link. https://thebrassrabbithealdsburg.com/

The Parish Café

The final Healdsburg Breakfast restaurant we want to bring to your attention is the New Orleans inspired Parish Café. This is one of Healdsburg’s best breakfast joints because everything you can imagine about New Orleans cuisine is brought to life at The Parish Café. They serve hand-made beignets that are rolled out fresh when ordered and quickly deep-fried and smothered in powdered sugar. The chef has a handful of Louisiana styled breakfast meals that include Eggs Nouvelle Orleans. This includes a generous amount of poached eggs, mounds of sweet blue crab meat, silky house-made hollandaise and a scattering of shallots on crisp buttered French bread. This is just a small sample size of what to expect at the Parish Café. Head over to the following website to look their menu over. http://theparishcafe.com/home/healdsburg/

“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4th, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.

Experience It All Right Here At The Camellia Inn

“All vacations can come down to a few little moments – what do your remember when you’re alone, totally relaxed and taken out of yourself to appreciate this other world.” – Bill Kurtis

Right now, I’m sitting at the bar inside of Barley and Bine Beer café in Windsor, which is a short drive to the Camellia Inn. I just finished a great conversation with a customer named Aaron that’s from North Carolina. He told me he’s in town from North Carolina and visiting this area for the first time. I love when I meet people from out of the area and get to hear their stories. When Aaron asked me about where I’m from and what I did, he was intrigued when I brought up Healdsburg and the Camellia Inn. Aaron is here for the next few weeks and will be coming to the Camellia Inn for a tour of our bed and breakfast and a conversation about the many great things we offer. Here’s a list of the things I’ll be talking to Aaron about.

The Location

The Camellia Inn

When Aaron and I start the tour of the Camellia Inn and we begin talking I’ll start with our location. The Camellia Inn Bed and Breakfast is located just minutes from anything and everything. You can walk out of our front doors and begin your journey to delight in the many brilliant Healdsburg treats. If you like food, wine, spirits, art, music and so much more, then our Healdsburg Camellia Inn has you covered.

Room Accommodations

The next thing I’ll talk to Aaron about is the rooms at our Camellia Inn Bed and Breakfast. I think we can all agree that when you are planning those vacations and then choosing a room to stay in, it’s exciting. The anticipation of staying in a room that’s not your own is fun. We at the Camellia Inn totally get this joy little joy. The rooms at the Camellia Inn are set up to make you feel like you are away but being as comfortable as if you were still in your own bedroom. Each of the nine, thoughtfully appointed guest rooms at the Inn features a private bath and all include a shower. Some rooms have whirlpool tubs for two.

Revitalize Your Bodily Cells with an Aromatherapy Massage

“I believe that for every illness or ailment known to man, that God has a plant out here that will heal it. We just need to keep discovering the properties for natural healing.” — Vannoy Gentles Fite

We don’t know if you believe in God like the author of this quote, but we believe that there are treasures in nature that can heal some of our ailments. The main truth we took from this quote is, we shouldn’t close ourselves off to the possibility that there are so many undiscovered and discovered remedies for natural healing. Having an Aromatherapy massage is one of those discovered properties that promotes natural healing. We would love for you to continue reading this blog post so we can help you understand what Aromatherapy is, how an Aromatherapy Massage might help you recover, relax or rejuvenate your mind, body and soul.

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy Massage

Before we dive into what an Aromatherapy Massage entails and the benefits, let’s talk about what Aromatherapy is and where it derived from. The origin of Aromatherapy, according to the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy is this, “It was the French perfumer and chemist, Rene- Maurice Gattefosse, who coined the term “aromatherapie” in 1937 with his publication of a book by that name. His book “Gattefosse’s Aromatherapy” contains early clinical findings for utilizing essential oils for a range of physiological ailments. It seems vital to understand what Gattefosse’s intention for coining the word was, as he clearly meant to distinguish the medicinal application of essential oils from their perfumery applications.” What you should take from this NAHA excerpt is that Aromatherapy is achieving Holistic healing with essential oils through therapeutic medicinal use.

We know We Know you want to know the Benefits.

Of course, you want to know the benefits of an Aromatherapy Massage. Why else would you be here, right? The benefits of an Aromatherapy massage start with an open mind. We believe this is instrumental in the natural healing process. Not just with an Aromatherapy massage but any Spa Treatment in general. Opening your mind to the possibility that essential oils derived from plants or flowers is key to allowing your body to accept the healing process.

How Does an Aromatherapy Massage Work?

There are so many reasons why you might need an Aromatherapy massage treatment. Some of the most specific reasons why are due to stress, being extremely tired, overworked, achy, and sick. With these types of ailments, you won’t want a massage that is a strenuous, deep tissue type of massage. An aromatherapy massage is perfect for you. The Aromatherapy massage wants to heal your body and mind through essential oils. You don’t always need a massage to work out the kinks. But you need something to restore balance to yourself.

The Major Benefits of Aromatherapy Massage

There are many benefits that will come out of your Aromatherapy Massage, and there are those essential oils that can and will be used along with it. Here is a list of some of the ailments that can be helped through an Aromatherapy Massage and the oils that may be used

Relieves Stress

We all deal with some form of stress in our lives. We may not ever find a cure for it, but there is a way to reduce it and that’s through an Aromatherapy massage. The essential oils used to reduce stress are lemon oil, lavender, bergamot, peppermint, clary sage, vetiver, and ylang-ylang essential oils

Acts as Antidepressant

Aromatherapy Massages are such an important way to help with depression. It has been studied that this type of massage with these following oils play a great part in helping those afflicted with this disease find natural healing. Those oils are, rose, chamomile, lavender, jasmine, nutmeg, lemon, bergamot, anise

Increases Energy Levels

Therapeutic Massage – A Vital Component in Pain Management

“For many people, managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy, acupuncture, yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole – their mind, body, and spirit.” Naomi Judd

Therapeutic Massage

Naomi Judd hit the nail on the head with this quote. We completely agree with her that medical care, no matter what that might consist of shouldn’t be dedicated to just one area. The type of medical issues you have greatly affect your entire way of life. So, each treatment should focus on getting your mind, body and soul back into congruence with one another. One way we at the Camellia Inn believe can help your mind, body and soul come back together is through a therapeutic massage.

What is a Therapeutic Massage?

Before we get into what we offer by way of a Therapeutic Massage, we’d like to define it first. A Therapeutic massage is a general term that describes any type of massage modality that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, and work on a specific problem you are having. For example, this may be a shoulder or ankle that is hurting or unable to be moved. There is a big difference between Therapeutic Massages and Deep Tissue Massages. People tend to assume that these massages are the same but there is a difference. While having a Therapeutic Massage, there isn’t the need to administer excruciating pain in order to get results. Deep tissue massage, is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. The pressure will generally be more intense than a relaxing Therapeutic massage.

What are the benefits of a Therapeutic Massage?

Just as Naomi Judd stated in her quote above, your mind, body and soul have to be addressed as a whole. Everything is affected when it comes to an injury, a sickness, or fatigue. When it comes to a Therapeutic Massage, there are an amazing amount of benefits. Everyone is different, all our bodies respond differently to treatments, medicine, or whatever you’ve decided to use. There’s no timetable for recovery, but most everyone that has a Therapeutic massage with us has said they’ve benefited. Some of the benefits to look for are these. There is a recovery from some anxiety issues. We have heard that there is a relief from some digestive disorders. Other ailments that we’ve been told people have seen a recovery from are Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Insomnia related to stress, Myofascial pain syndrome, Soft tissue strains or injuries, Sports injuries, Temporomandibular joint pain.
