Caution!

It is not advised to undergo massage therapy when suffering from acute infectious illness. A massage strongly stimulates blood flow and has the potential to spread bacteria and viruses throughout the body. If you have varicose veins or scars, let the massage therapist know because they can become inflamed when massaged. The affected area should be avoided during treatment.

Application:

A relaxing bath followed by a whole-body massage is an effective therapeutic treatment. Add selected essential oils to a base oil that is appropriate for your skin type. After you dry off, massage the oil gently into your skin using circular movements.

Ingredient Benefits:

Sweet-almond oil: This delicate oil is pressed from sweet almonds. It is not too greasy and is appropriate for every skin type. It makes the skin soft and increases the elasticity of the skin surface. Sweet-almond oil is also used as a conditioner for dry hair to treat and nourish the scalp.

Grapeseed oil: Grapeseed oil is thin-bodied and is one of the lightest oils. It is clear in color and has hardly any odor. Its thin consistency allows it to penetrate rapidly into the skin, quickly transporting healing components into skin tissue. Grapeseed oil is particularly good for mixed skin types, as well as greasy skin with blemishes or acne.

Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil is pressed from the nutlike seed of the jojoba bush. Because of its chemical structure, it solidifies into a wax at 45°F. Appropriate for sensitive skin, jojoba oil is highly penetrative and adds extra fluidity to a massage blend. Because it is expensive, you may want to blend it with other quality base oils.

Sesame oil: This delightful, medium-bodied, golden oil is pressed from the sesame seed. It's good for all skin types, especially normal-to-dry skin, and is used for psoriasis, eczema and arthritis.
