Aromatherapy Massage Oil Formulas
Aromatic Massage oils combine essential oils with a suitable massage carrier oil or lotion.
Massage has a powerful effect on the body and the emotions. Combined with the therapeutic qualities of essential oils, massage can be a very invigorating or deeply relaxing experience.
Below are some of our suggestions for blended massage oils to relax or revive.
Invigorating citrus massage:
Blend 3 drops of bergamot essential oil, 2 drops of peppermint and 1 drop of lemon in 20mls of sweet almond oil (2fl oz). Bergamot has an uplifting citrus aroma and balsamic overtones, this blended with the stimulating 'coolness' of the peppermint and the citrus 'tang' of the lemon oil produce a wonderfully uplifting massage blend.
Invigorating lavender massage:
Blend 2 drops of Lavender with 2 drops of orange and 2 drops of peppermint with 20mls of Sweet almond oil. This blend is a 'cooling' invigorating mixture with the floral scent of the lavender combining with the lively peppermint and the warm orange oil.
Relaxing massage:
Three drops of Sandalwood and one drop of chamomile blended with 20mls of sweet almond oil. A relaxing blend with the relaxing tones of the sandalwood and the 'fruity' tones of the chamomile. This is an ideal massage blend to unwind with at the end of the day.
