Hi there !

I love a good MASSAGE don't you ?
I always come out of them completely RE-BALANCED & RE-CONNECTED with my body.
I find them very healing at a deep level.
 
AROMATHERAPY and massage go hand-in-hand. 
Massages in itself can be relaxing, invigorating, stimulating or soothing.
Using essential oils can help ENHANCE these BENEFITS and make the entire massage experience a more effective experience. 
And there's an essential oil for every purpose.

Here's how to CREATE A SIMPLE MASSAGE OIL that includes the benefits of essential oils.
Combine 3-10 drops  of your desired essential oil with 15 ml (= 1 Tbs.) of Fractionated Coconut Oil or another carrier oil.
Apply a small amount of this mix and massage it into the skin using light to medium-light strokes of the hand or fingers. Start with a mix of 3 drops and then see if you want to add more. 
Remember: essential oils are powerful and one drop goes a long way.

Below you will find different essential oils organised by type of massage experience. 
Pick the massage oils according to your (clients) present needs and of you go !

MOST CHOSEN ESSENTIAL OILS FOR AROMATIC/MOOD MASSAGE
Most oils can have a positive impact on your mood and emotions. 
During massage, these oils are some of your best options for this purpose.
  • AromaTouch: also known as the MASSAGE BLEND. AromaTouch is part of the AromaTouch Technique created by Dr. David K. Hill, DC. Even outside of use in the AromaTouch Technique, the blend adds a comforting aromatic experience to any massage.
  • Bergamot: a massage oil that is both CALMING & UPLIFTING and uplifting. Dilute it with Fractionated Coconut Oil for best results.
  • Citrus Bliss: combines the citrus oils Wild Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Bergamot, Tangerine, and Clementine for a sweet citrus aroma that will help inspire a POSITIVE mood.
  • Clary SageTo support healthy mood, particularly during menstruation or menopause.
  • ClaryCalm Monthly Blend for Women: Used for the same purpose as Clary Sage.
  • Geranium: Excellent for a couple’s massage.
  • Grapefruit: UPLIFTING & BRIGHT. Use Grapefruit as a massage oil to brighten the day ahead.
  • Lavender: safe for all ages, massage into the skin to promote calmness.
  • Myrrh: Recognized as a spiritual oil, Myrrh promotes creativity and energy.
  • Serenity Restful Blend: Helps to calm the mind and prepare for restful sleep.
  • Ylang Ylang: Reduces effects of daily stress and leaves a soothing floral aroma.

SOOTHING MASSAGE
Soothing massage oils are perfect to use before or AFTER A WORKOUT or when you are feeling the after-effects of a LONG DAY OF HARD PHYSICAL WORK.

  • Deep Blue® Soothing Blend. A blend that is both cooling and comforting, it also comes as Deep Blue® Rub for a lotion-like application.
  • Coriander. Apply to your skin directly after a workout.
  • Cypress. Soothing when applied on its own, use with a citrus oil for an invigorating massage.
  • Eucalyptus. Helps to create feelings of open airways.
  • Lemongrass. The perfect massage oil to use after an especially intense workout.
  • Marjoram. Used to target specific tired or stressed muscles.
  • PastTense® Tension Blend. Brings a cooling and soothing sensation similar to Deep Blue.
  • Vetiver. A soothing and aromatic massage oil for feet after a long day.
  • Wintergreen. Both soothing and warming, be sure to dilute.

WARMING MASSAGES
Keep in mind that these massage oils are hot or warm oils that will always NEED DILUTION  !
Dilute either with Fractionated Coconut Oil or the doTERRA Hand & Body Lotion. 
To test for sensitivity, add small amount of diluted oil on a small patch of skin and monitor for up to 5 minutes for a reaction.
  • Cinnamon Bark
  • Cassia
  • Clove
STIMULATION/ENERGISING MASSAGE
For that ENERGISING PICK-ME-UP have an invigorating massage.
A few drops of these essential oils added to your carrier oil will do the trick:
  • Ginger: Make sure to dilute with Fractionated Coconut Oil for easy application and to avoid sensitivity.
  • Helichrysum: Promotes both vitality and energy.
  • any Citrus oil. Keep in mind that citrus oils are photosensitive and can cause harm when the skin is then exposed in the sun. 

MASSAGE OILS COMBINATIONS
If you want to use more than one oil during the massage, there are some good combinations you can use for specific purposes. 
You can put a few drops of oil into Fractionated Coconut Oil all at once, or layer them on the body one at a time for the best effect.
  • Basil, Geranium, and any citrus oils (uplifting)
  • Basil and Wintergreen (stress-relief)
  • Black Pepper, Marjoram, and Lavender (warming and soothing)
  • Marjoram, Lavender, Peppermint, and Cypress (soothing)
  • Lavender and Peppermint (soothing)
  • Rosemary and Wintergreen(soothing)
  • Neroli Touch, Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Marjoram (aromatic)
These are just a few ideas - nearly endless combinations and scents can make each massage as personalised as desired. Find your favourite !
