Essential Oils in Massage?

I am a firm believer in the usefulness and effectiveness of therapeutic grade essential oils. I use them in daily life and love to incorporate them into my massages whenever possible. Why do this? Because essential oils have unique and individual benefits that I can apply to the body to aid in our bodies' natural healing process.

I use Young Living Essential Oils because of their purity standards which exceed international standards and because they contain the largest amount of natural bioactive compounds possible. You can read about it all on their website. Because their oils are so potent, a couple of drops are all that is needed to have an impact on the entire body.

Most people are not aware that essential oils are good for things other than aromatherapy! Certain essential oils and blends have real therapeutic benefits. Essential oils like peppermint and lavender are great for calming inflammation, cinnamon, basil and oregano increase circulation of fluids and boost your immune system. Basil and oregano are anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, rosemary and peppermint help diminish headaches, these are just a few examples of the amazing benefits of essential oils. Next time you come in for a massage ask about what essential oils would benefit you!
