Aaaah! What could be more relaxing (or invigorating) than a massage with essential oils? Touch and scent combine to call us back into our bodies, releasing tension that gets in the way. Most professional aromatherapists are trained massage practioners and administer their services in this way. You can also learn to give a good aromatherapy massage to yourself or your loved ones by studying one or more of the many good books available. MASSAGE WITH ESSENTIAL OILS is done with a vegetable oil or blend, usually at a ratio of: 1 oz of carrier oil with 10 drops of essential oil. Occasionally you will see higher ratios of EO in recipes, but usually they are for a specific theraputic treatment and not meant to be used for a whole body massage. Don't make the mistake of multiplying the quanitity of oils listed in a local, theraputic blend in an amount sufficient for a whole body massage! Stick to a total of around 10 drops for one whole-body massage, and you will be just fine. Relax and Enjoy! Click Here to See a Great Book About Acupressure. |
