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.
