Blending Essential Oils For Massage

The correct ratio is five drops of essential oil to two tablespoons of carrier massage oil. Carefully measure as making it too strong can be harmful.

• Massage Oil To Aid Relaxation – We like bergamot, chamomile, Clary sage, lavender and rosewood. To add an uplifting not add a citrus drop as well.
• Blend For Energizing – When you feet flat or down an enlivening massage with uplifting massage oils can help turn around the day. We like a mix of black pepper, Cyprus, jasmine and peppermint.
• For Stiff Muscles – We love ginger, grapefruit, marjoram and nutmeg in a mix of oils for the massage.
• Hangover Remedy –  Always popular, this is good if you forgot to drink water before you slept. A gentle massage with fennel, geranium, orange and juniper is our fave mix.
•  Warming Blend Of Oils – During winter, we love to have a massage by the fire with these oils – rosewood, ginger and orange.

Carrier Massage Oils

•  Some massage oils, such as olive oil, are too sticky for massage.
• Peach nut oil is good for delicate skin as is sweet almond oil.
• Avocado Oil  – It is rich in chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments, and is very nourishing for both skin and hair.
• Most massage oils have health giving nutritious properties of their own, but will be much more effective if combined with another richer carrier oil more suitable for massage.
• Almond oil is rich in Vitamin A, B and E which are all great for our skin. The oil helps maintain moisture levels and can be absorbed without blocking pores.
• Sesame Oil  – Sesame Oil has been used traditionally in Aurveda, and is documented in ancient Ayurvedic texts as being the best oil for the human body.
• Coconut Oil  is colourless, very light and is absorbed very well by the skin.  The oil is commonly used for Kahuna Massage, due to the tropical, coastal nature of its origin and its scent.
• Jojoba Oil  – Jojoba Oil is extracted from the seed of the Jojoba plant. Due to its antibacterial properties, this oil is another great option for people prone to breakouts on their face and body.
• Grapeseed Oil  – This oil is extremely light and thin.  It is also nutritious for skin, with high levels of linoleic acid. It also has no scent, which is great for people who prefer no fragrance.
• Apricot Kernel Oil – is known to be quite similar to Sweet Almond Oil, making it a great alternative for people with nut allergies. It is a little more expensive, but is highly rich in vitamin E and leaves skin feeling  soft.
• Store Your Oils In A Dark Place – this will help preserve their scent and properties
