NDIKANDIÍ · MASSAGE GLOSSARY
Aromatherapy
A closer look at essential oils, sensory wellbeing and their place in your massage.
What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy uses plant-derived essential oils as a complementary approach. In a massage, fragrance can be part of the sensory setting, alongside touch, music and a comfortable space.
At NDIKANDIÍ, you can share your scent preferences when requesting your session in Mexico City, Querétaro or Monterrey. The team will confirm what is suitable and available.
A long relationship with aromatic plants
The traditional use of aromatic plants is associated with cultures including Egypt, China and India. That history provides context for today’s practices; it does not by itself establish medical effectiveness.
A sensory complement to your session
A welcoming setting
A scent you enjoy can be part of your personal moment of rest.

Realistic expectations
Aromatherapy is not a substitute for medical care. Evidence depends on the use being studied.
We do not promise that essential oils treat insomnia, reduce inflammation or strengthen immunity. See the NCCIH overview of aromatherapy.
