Massage with Essential Oils

To Sleep: perchance to dream: ah... there's the rub.
There is nothing better than a massage before bed to send you off to restfull sleep. It is also one of the best ways to access those divine essential oil benefits. It is a fantastic way to push aromatherapy oils into the system, because kneading the muscles separates the muscle fibers... so you are working the blood through the muscles too, distributing the oils throughout the body quickly. Vital accupressure points are stimulated, and the lymphatic system helps flush away toxins. For massage, blend your essential oils into a good carrier oil. Ideally have a top, middle and base note, using about 5-10 drops maximum. Essential oils can be carefully chosen to benefit your physical, as well as emotional symptoms.

Using oils "Neat"

Essential oils are often used in the bath, diffused, massage, creams and lotions. But some essential oils are very effective used "neat" or directly on the skin, for maximum benefits in superquick time. Burns and scalds can be calmed by pouring on lavender oil immediately. In fact, one of the first discoveries of using essential oils was when Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, a Parisian scientist, suffered a bad burn in the laboratory and plunged it into a vat of lavender oil, thinking it was water, and was startled at how rapidly the pain subsided, and healed with no scarring. A dab of lavender oil on the temples will clear your sinuses and ease a headache, as well as calm the heat of bee stings and rashes.
Tea tree oil neat will kill athlete's foot, and if put on the inside of your wrist can abate cold infection, inhaled several times a day.
That said, do not use other oils neat without seeking the advice from a certified aromatherapist, as some are too strong, and others are photosensitive.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years (since the ancient Egyptians) to support physical, spiritual and emotional healing. The intoxicating and aphrodesiac qualities of flowers and their scents are why flowers (and chocolate) are shared with lovers to this day. Whether it's Valentine's day, an anniversary or anytime, you can use essential oils to set the mood for love. Some of the most popular aphrodesiac essential oils used then and now include rose, neroli, sandalwood, ylang ylang and patchouli. When you inhale an essential oil, the limbic system of the brain is stimulated, where mood and emotions are governed.
Essential oils may be used as inhalation, in bath salts for a romantic bath for two, lotions or a sensual massage. You will be transported! Enjoy~
