Essential Oils In Massage
Once inside the studio, the wonderful aroma of lemongrass or Joy essential oil diffusing in the room immediately
greets guests, who are then treated to a luxurious soak in the hot tub. With the essential oils of geranium and Purification,
the water feels clean, fresh, and restorative. Following the hot tub,
guests receive a sensational sensory experience - a massage with Young Living essential oils.
Certified Massage Therapist Alisa Edwards, a Young Living Star and owner of The Lavender Room, says, "I will first ask my
clients if the), have any allergies. Once that is determined, I suggest several
oils they might enjoy during the massage. I know rubbing the blends
of PanAway or Aroma Seiz during the session helps ease tension in a stiff lower back. I have clients who
have conditions that need extra help, and the oils give that healing edge. I often use Peace & Calming and lavender."
There are many motivators for getting a massage. Some of these include for relaxation and pleasure,
stress reduction, and pain management and relief. According to a recent survey by the American Massage
Therapy Association, the popularity and use of massage is on the rise. "More than one in five
adults surveyed (21 percent) received a massage within the past twelve months. Ninety percent of
respondents agreed that massage can be effective in reducing pain. One in five of those polled (20 percent) say
they have discussed massage therapy with their doctor or other healthcare provider, up from 14
percent in 2002." (ref. 1) Likewise, more healthcare providers are recommending massage therapy for
their patients. "For those who discussed massage therapy with their healthcare providers, 62 percent of
the providers strongly recommended or encouraged their patients to get a massage."
People, perhaps depending on the circumstance or need, receive massages in a variety of locations, from
their homes to massage therapists' offices to spas. Of those surveyed in America, "21 percent received their
last massage at a spa." Like so many other massage therapists who own or work at spas, Alisa has found
that the aroma and penetrative powers of Young Living essential oils make a massage a multifaceted experience."
"The oils make it more powerful as to the depth of the healing, and it touches so many of the senses."
Jeanne Rose, author of The Aromatherapy Book,writes, "Massage is often considered the best way to use essential oils.
Not only does the client benefit from the qualities of the essential oils, she/he benefits from the energy and
healing qualities of the human touch." Because Young Living essential oils are of the highest, therapeutic grade
quality, they become the perfect partner for massage.
"They are helping my clients experience a true healing experience," says Alisa.
Realizing that a visit to the spa makes for a truly enjoyable vacation,
Young Living provided guests at this year's Grand Convention the opportunity to attend a YL spa at the
Salt Palace. Here, participants could slip away from classes for a few minutes to relax and enjoy either a
foot, chair, or table massage. "The response was phenomenal, with appointments booked solid and many
distributors returning more than once!" says Marilyn Kendall, Marketing Project Coordinator and Spa
Manager. "The massage therapists were given an assortment of essential oils to use, along with Young
Living's massage oils and other products. Clients were able to choose which oils they wanted to have
used on them. Some of the distributors remarked that they did not know Young Living offered a lot of
these products." Denise Jolley, Executive Assistant and Spa Coordinator, relates, "The spa was wonderful
as it gave people a few minutes to relax and enjoy a short massage. After traveling and sleeping in strange
beds with uncomfortable pillows, guests were happy to have a few minutes of total relaxation."
If visiting a spa is not an option, consider a "massage at home." Interestingly, a survey shows that twenty-six
percent of the population prefers to have a massage at home.
In Nikki Goldstein's book Essential Energy, she writes, "Massage techniques vary from
practitioner to practitioner. There's no mystery to massage, anyone can do it - and by using the basic
techniques, you can create your own personal brand of healing." With Young Living essential oils and the
Raindrop Technique DVD it's easy to learn and teach others how to perform the Raindrop
Technique, which combines the application of essential oils to various parts of the body with massage.
The DVD provides step-by-step instructions that will guide the viewer through each of the massage techniques.
By experimenting with the oils, one can receive and give soothing massages at home. Delight a loved one
for Valentine's Day by creating the atmosphere of a spa and pampering him or her with a massage. Play
soft music, diffuse essential oils throughout the room, serve lemon water made from fresh spring water and
several drops of lemon essential oil and use candlelight to create the right mood.
Babies and children also greatly benefit from massage. "Massage can lead to genuine empathy and love
between parent and child. Learning to massage your child can be an important building block in the
[bonding] process. Once a child is used to a massage routine...then she will associate the massage with a
parent's total attention, and recognize it as a valuable gift of love. Whether for children or adults, a massage
with Young Living essential oils is nurturing and restorative, and is a gift that will be greatly appreciated
throughout the year.
There are several Young Living products
that are great for use in massage:
