Essential Oils for Massage

Did you know that massages are not just a feel-good indulgence? They are great for so many everyday health benefits like optimal circulation, sore muscles, stress relief, and toxin removal. Adding Essential Oils to your massage can make the whole experience even more effective. Because of the vast range of therapies that Essential Oils can offer, you are sure to find an oil or blend that perfectly compliments the massage that you desire.

How to use Essential Oils for Massage

When using Essential Oils and synergy blends during a massage, you need to remember one important step first… always use a carrier for your base. Essential Oils are very potent, and when using them for a prolonged period of time on the skin, it is best to dilute them with a nourishing nut or seed oil. There are certain carrier oils that work really well for massage due to the therapeutic properties they have; here are a few to consider.

Sweet Almond Oil – Moisturizing and softening, great for normal to dry skin

Fractionated Coconut Oil – Odorless, gives good slip, all skin types

Grapeseed Oil – Light, hypoallergenic, doesn’t clog pores, good for all skin including oily
