The perfumes have
important effects on our body and our psyche.
There are fragrances that induce a sense of
relaxation and abandonment , and others, more
“sparkling”, that stimulate the mind and
concentration. There are aromatic notes capable
of increasing our level of serotonin, and other
spiced ones that recall seduction images… It's
some kind of universal language that speaks to
our unconsciousness by means of association of
aromas and sensory images, ancient objective
memory bound to the nature: trees, flowers,
fruit, resins , spices.
In the same way the fumes are strictly
connected to the memories and our emotions.
This is due to the fact that the memories
of the smells are being archived in the
limbic system of our brain, the same
“department” where the emotions bound to the
situation in which they are perceived, are
being elaborated. When we sniff again the
memorized smell, the brain also restores the
memory of the previously experiences
circumstance, whether pleasant or not.
Considering the strict connection between
smell and e emotional state, the weight
that the olfactory stimulation has in our
psycho-physical balance is evident.
You suffer headaches?
Yes to essential peppermint
oils, 2 drops to be massaged on
the temples .
No vanilla essence, whether
natural or artificial.
The wellness and aesthetic treatments we
propose in the specialized centers can become
real polysensorial experiences. The basic
ingredients remain undoubtedly the
professionalism and manual skill of the
operators, as well as the high quality
cosmetic products employed; thanks to the
aid of fragrances and essential oils,
music, lights and colors
matched to the different treatments, the person
is being involved in its entirety by means of
the stimulation of all the 5 senses,
amplifying the benefit of the treatment itself.
In order to make
this happen, the operator has the task to ensure
that the music and above all the aromas turn out
to be pleasant to the one undergoing the
treatment. It's indeed true that each
essential oil embodies different characteristics
and properties that make it suitable, for
its effects, for some kinds of treatments rather
than others. Nonetheless, it's equally true that
the nose and, above all, the emotional state
highly condition the preferences. The
aroma-test enables the person undergoing the
treatment to choose the essence that better
suits the psycho-physical situation of the
moment and to let it blend to the vector most
appropriate to the treatment (massage oil, clay,
mud).

News! From thermal mud to the MUD PLUS, aroma-emotional
In Abano Terme the GB Thermae Hotels , thanks to the
collaboration of the team of thermal doctors and of
Dr. Paolo Vranjes, Pharmacist, Chemist e Cosmetologist,
have set up seven psycho-physical and
polysensorial programs, a new thermal concept
that originates from the combination between the thermal
and the emotional knowledge given to the individual from
the profound stimulation of the olfaction.
The basis is always constituted from the mature mud of
Abano Terme, lavish of mineral water, oligo-elements,
biofitostimuline and natural bio-activators produced
from the algal metabolism that, when used as a cosmetic,
results in various effects and causes several skin
actions:
• Peeling on the epidermic action
• Connective texture toning action
• Draining on the micro-circulation action
• Muscle toning action
• Reactivation on the cellular metabolism action
Before proceeding to the mud, the body is
vaporized “as a cloud” with perfumed waters of
aromatic essences; then a subtle mud pack,
previously prepared with con cosmeceutics based
on active stem cells that empower the actions of
the Mature Mud. The ritual is then completed by
a thermal bath with hydro-essence and a slow
dripping and spread of oils on the body, in an
environment with suffused lights and candles in
a total relaxing atmosphere.

The olfactory
stimulation par excellence: chocolate body
treatment
We highly recommend it, above all, in the months
in which the days are shorter. The less natural
light exposure, as a matter of fact, negatively
influences the endorphins' production. The
chocolate perfume stimulates our brain to
produce endogenous hormones. Furthermore the
skin is being smoothed and nurtured thanks to
the use of natural products.
The relaxing effect of the
treatment helps the body's musculature to relax and
spread the face's traits. The only contraindication is
the irresistible desire for chocolate… what can I say?
Prefer it fondant!
