Hot oil massage: a warm escape in the heart of Paris
Some days, all you need is warmth and gentleness. The hot oil massage at Janthra Spa answers exactly that: warm oil, slow and flowing strokes, a soft and peaceful atmosphere. Originating in India, this treatment belongs to a long tradition of oil massage, which we practise with know-how in our spa in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in Paris’s 6th arrondissement. It is the perfect way to recharge after a day of sightseeing on the Left Bank.
How the session unfolds
After a warm welcome, you are settled comfortably in the treatment room, in a calm and soothing setting. The therapist applies warm oil to the body and links together fluid, enveloping movements. The warmth of the oil naturally invites the body to relax, while the steady rhythm helps the mind slow down. You can share your preferences at any time: areas to focus on, lighter or firmer pressure.
The treatment is available in 30 minutes for a quick break, or in 1 hour, 1 hour 30 and 2 hours for a full, unhurried massage.
The benefits of a warm oil massage
- The warmth of the oil helps ease tension and encourages deep relaxation.
- The enveloping strokes contribute to soothing stress and mental fatigue.
- The oil nourishes the skin, leaving it soft and comfortable.
- It is especially comforting in autumn and winter, or after a long flight, when the body craves warmth.
Who is it for?
This hot oil massage is for anyone who prefers gentleness to intensity: people who feel stressed, get cold easily, are tired from a busy schedule or jet lag, or simply want some time for themselves. It also makes a much-appreciated gift. In our duo room, it can be shared with your partner, a friend or a family member. If you prefer a more energising treatment, our traditional Thai massage may suit you better.
Before and after your massage
- Arrive a few minutes early to make the most of your session.
- Avoid a heavy meal just before the massage.
- Let us know about any allergy, pregnancy, skin or health condition; if in doubt, ask your doctor for advice.
- After the treatment, drink a glass of water and, if possible, let the oil soak in for a few hours before showering.
