Oil massage has always been one of the most popular way to relax, and at keb-hom, it’s our all-time best-selling program. With the expertise of our skilled therapist combined with our signature massage oil—so good that many guests keep coming back—it’s no wonder people love it. But did you know? While both Aromatherapy Oil Massage and Thai Oil Massage use oil, they each bring a very different experience. Let’s find out together!
Aroma (Warm) Oil Massage
Massage Technique: Gentle to medium pressure with smooth stroke along the muscle, allowing your body to fully absorb the scent and benefit of the oil.
Perfect For: Those who want to relieve stress, calm the mind, sleep better, and enjoy a soft, soothing atmosphere.
Massage Oil: At keb-hom, our aromatherapy oil is 100% natural, free from harmful chemical and synthetic fragrance. Sweet almond oil, safflower seed oil, and rice bran oil naturally nourish and moisturize the skin. The relaxing scent comes from 100% pure essential oil extracted from plants—not only non-headache-inducing, but also rich in true aromatherapy benefits. Another unique touch at keb-hom is that we use warm oil for this program. The gentle warmth enhances comfort and relaxation, melting away tension even more.
Thai Oil Massage
Massage Technique: Stronger pressure than aromatherapy massage, combining traditional Thai massage technique with oil application. It involves acupressure, Thai deep tissue work, and some stretching, but feels smoother and more comfortable than traditional Thai massage because the oil reduces friction.
Perfect For: Those with muscle fatigue from work or physical activity, or anyone seeking both deep relaxation and effective relief from ache and stiffness.
Massage Oil: Our Thai Oil Massage is the number one best-seller at keb-hom. Instead of regular massage oil, we use our signature aromatherapy oil to glide along the muscle. This means you not only enjoy the benefits of muscle release and stretching, but also the calming fragrance of aromatherapy oil for emotional relaxation.
