Do you know……. Our body self-repairs throughout our life span, but the normal wear-tear is unavoidable with gradual aging process. To increase the strength and flexibility, one can incorporate the massage in their everyday living style. Massage is not only enjoyable, but is beneficial for the maintenance of physical, mental, and emotional health. Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating our skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Most people can benefit from massage. According to American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), there are twenty-five benefits of getting massage done, some of which are:

Relaxes tight muscles and improves mobility of joints

                Aromatherapy Massage

Improves posture and coordination

Improves insomnia

Increases circulation, relieves itchy-dry skin

Relieves stress, tension, anxiety

Increases Vitality and mental alertness

Relieves joint and arthritic pain

There are many different types of massage, which includes:

Swedish massage: is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize.

Deep massage: this massage technique uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.

Sports massage: is similar to Swedish massage for people involved in sports activities.

Trigger point massage: focuses on areas of tight muscle because of injury and overuse.

Therapeutic massage: is supportive and restorative type of therapeutic massage using essential oil for healing. It is called Aromatherapy massage. It’s not a deep tissue massage and has a profound effect on mind and body.

Essential oils, the natural, concentrated, volatile, liquid extract of plants, possess different therapeutic properties that have been used since centuries to cure various ailments. Can choose 1 or more essential oils (24-30 drops to 2oz of carrier oil) for:

Muscle Relaxing and soothing: Lavender, Sweet Marjoram, Chamomile

                 Aromatherapy Massage

Calming and balancing: Geranium, Clary sage, Frankincense

Romantic and sensual: Ylang ylang, Sweet Orange, Jasmine

Purifying and cleansing: Tea tree, Lavender, Neroli

Energizing and uplifting: Peppermint, Clary sage, Rosemary, Rose, Ylang ylang

Decongesting: Eucalyptus, Pine, Tea tree

Depending on what you are trying to achieve you can use essential oils in one or more ways below:

Full-body massage: This involves mixing and creating a blend of one or more essential oils to carrier oils. For example, a blend with peppermint oil might be created to relieve pain in deep tissue massage or adding lavender essential oil to a carrier oil can provide immense relaxation.

Head and scalp massage:  A scalp massage is excellent for rejuvenating blood circulation in the scalp and relieving tension. The medicinal properties of both carrier oils and essential oils will also help scalp conditions such as dryness, dandruff, itching and more.

Face massage: Rubbing a little carrier oil infused with an essential oil into the palms of your hands and cupping the face will provide an instant, soothing effect. Carrier oils such as Argan oil, Jojoba oil, Coconut oil, Almond oil are amazing for the face and skin.

Foot massage: A foot massage or rub is a great way to unwind and relax. Since feet have larger pores they absorb essential oils fairly quickly and it gets into the bloodstream faster.

Ear massage: Did you know there are over 200 acupuncture points on the ear? Stimulating these points can activate the respective organs restoring balance in the body. With a little essential oil blend, using both the thumb and index finger gently massage the earlobe using a small circular action.

Muscle Relaxing Massage Oil:

8 drops Clary sage Essential oil

8 drops Lavender Essential Oil

5 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil

3 drops Chamomile Essential Oil

2 oz Olive or sweet Almond or Grapeseed carrier oil

Add these essential oils to a 2 oz glass bottle, pour 2oz of carrier oil, 6drs Vit E, cover the bottle, mix, label. Use as desired. Mix well before using for massage.
