Nothing goes better with a deep tissue massage than aromatherapy. The effects of pure essential oils have been documented thru the ages. The Bible alone has 188 references to essential oils. There are many who use essential oils in their own personal, holistic heath care. Not only are the aromas pleasing to the mind, the oils can even affect your emotions.
When I choose an essence for a client, I let their nose be the judge. I primarily use Young Living Oils as their reputation for purity is well-known. As I am not an Aroma therapist, I just like using the oils because I feel it can enhance any effect we are trying to obtain.
Oils can help conditions like anxiety, depression, circulation, fatigue, high blood pressure, itching, muscles and sinuses. Depending on what is going on in the clients life—highly stressed, tight muscles, sinus congestion; depression, there are various oils that can have a positive effect on individuals.
The oils I use most are:
• Eucalyptus – Can be used to help conditions such as asthma, Candida, diabetes, migraines, and can increase energy; it also has a strong anti-viral effect.
• Lavender – Helps to balance the body and gives you a feeling of well being. It can be used to help anything from acne, allergies, menopausal conditions, high blood pressure, or skin conditions.
• There are some blends I like to use and one of my favorites is Panaway. I apply it to painful muscles or bruises and often the client notices a positive effect quickly.
• There are a number of oils I like for there sedative effect, I usually try Lavender, Sandalwood, Clary Sage or Jasmine.
For clients coming in for the first time, I find out what is going on in their lives and do everything I can to help them to feel better emotionally and physically. The use of the oils helps to enhance any healing effect the client may have. Ask your therapist to try some oil on you—you might be pleasantly surprised at the results.
