Oils And Creams Used In Aromatherapy Massage
By: Jamie Snodgrass
The aromatherapy massage cream combines the synergistic effects of providing calmness of mind and
wonderful skin care. The massage cream bathed with the wonderful aromatic flavors can produce some
outstanding impact when massaged on your body. So aromatherapy massage cream not only provides
soothing sensations to your mind and body, but also enriches you with a glossy skin.
Mingling effects of aromatherapy massage cream
If one aromatherapy massage cream is mingled proportionately with another then they can produce the best
results. Once the aromatherapy massage cream is mingled you should store them in a dark bottle to avoid
any damage of the cream. You can undergo an aromatherapy cream massage in the spas or in the healing
arts centers. However, if it is not possible for you to go to these massage centers, then practice self massage
to heal your mind and body.
Different flavors of aromatherapy massage cream
The aromatherapy massage cream is often blended with natural botanical thickeners and skin-rejuvenating
ingredients like coconut oil, vitamin-E and jojoba oil to provide you with an entirely new soothing massage
experience.
Following are some important aromatherapy massage cream flavors to provide you with physical and mental
well being:
Peppermint - Reduces digestive problems, relieves headache, muscle pain and uplifts the mind and body.
Oregano - Assists in providing mental clarity, reduces depression and relieves muscle aches and pains.
Pine - Possess a fresh aroma so it has a deodorant effect and often serves as an antiseptic. Unlike the
massage oil, the aromatherapy massage cream can be applied only through body massages. However,
whether you visit the spas or perform self-massage, the cream provides an amazing moisturizing and
soothing effect to your skin, body and mind.
Benefits of using aromatherapy massage cream
The aromatherapy massage cream is usually sensual and warm, evoking romantic feelings and healing the
mind and body of all.
There are several benefits of the aromatherapy massage cream:
The aromatherapy massage cream helps reduce stress caused due to hypertensions, depressions, muscle
pains and headaches.
The cream improves blood circulation, reduces fatigue and cures a sore back.
The nourishing quality of the aromatherapy massage cream melts upon skin contact into rich creamy oil,
which provides a glowing lustre to the skin.
You can massage the aromatherapy massage cream on your babys body to ensure your baby has an
excellent nervous system and proper growth. However, massage the cream on your own body to achieve a
romantic feeling and provide a rejuvenating heal to your mind and body.

oils get absorbed by the blood stream and enhance ones health, beauty and hygiene conditions.

25 Uses for Essential Oils in Your Daily Life By: Paula Polman
Aromatherapy is a growing area of interest as North America continues its search for alternative and
complimentary applications of natural medicines. The use of herbal supplements in our daily lives is one
excellent example of this.
Aromatherapy, however, is still in the realm of uncertainty. People are familiar with the term, most have heard of
essential oils, but still few know how to use them in practical applications.
Here's a short list of some examples of ways to enhance your daily life with essential oils.
Diffuse in air with a ceramic or electric diffuser to clean or fragrance the air.
Facial steam - add a few drops of oils to boiling water, place your face over the bowl and drape your head with a
towel and breathe deeply.
Bath water - add 4-10 drops to your bath or jacuzzi.
Skin spray - add 4-10 drops of oil to 60 mls (2 oz) distilled water in a misting bottle then spray skin for a fresh
uplift to the day.
Linen spray to freshen sheets & towels - same as the skin spray but mix 20-30 drops to 60 ml (2 oz) and spray
your sheets.
Remove the cap from the oil bottle and breathe deeply for a quick pick-me-up.
Room spray - same as linen spray but the concentration is 50-75 drops to 60 ml (2 oz) of distilled water.
Hand or foot bath - add 4-6 drops of oil to warm water and soak your hands or feet in it. For tired feet, also add
2 tablespoons of epsom salts to the water.
Massage oil is easily made by adding 10-20 drops of oil to 30 ml (1 oz) of carrier oil, such as grapeseed, olive,
sweet almond, jojoba, etc. Cut the amount of essential oil in half for children.
After your shower, put a few drops of oil on a washcloth and rub vigorously over your body.
Put a few drops of eucalyptus oil on a cloth by your pillow at night to help breathing when struck by a cold or flu.
Hot compresses are wonderful on sore, tired muscles. Add 5-10 drops of oil to hot (not boiling) water. Soak a
cloth in the water, wring it out and place on the affected area. Repeat as needed.
Cold compresses - for headaches and swelling. Same as hot compresses but use cool to cold water.
Sniff lavender or peppermint for headaches.
Dab tea tree on acne pimples to help clear up the infections.
Revive old potpourri mixes by adding 10-20 drops to the mix and stirring.
Create your own perfumes by blending favourite oils in beeswax or oil bases and apply.
Sniff peppermint oil for nausea, including morning sickness, motion sickness and carnival rides.
For infant colic, apply a warm - not hot - compress with roman chamomile on the tummy.
Massage menstrual cramps with clary sage diluted in a vegetable carrier oil like grapeseed or jojoba.
Gently massage varicose veins with a massage oil containing cypress.
Add a few drops of eucalyptus to your shampoo to help dandruff problems.
Help smooth wrinkles by massaging nightly with a few drops of frankincense diluted in sweet almond oil or
rosehip seed oil.
For depression diffuse jasmine or rose in the air.
After a long night on the town, add juniper to your bath to help detoxify your body.
Remember, that essential oils are generally too concentrated to use directly on your skin. They need to be
diluted for application. As with anything, there are exceptions.
Lavender and tea tree are the most commonly used oils that can be applied directly on the skin (neat) in small
doses.
There are many excellent resources on essential oils and their effects on body, spirit and mind. Some oils have
contra-indications so it is important that you learn about any oil before using it.
Essential oils are great companions to enhancing your daily life, when used appropriately.
