Welcome to the 21st century, where stress and anxiety are a part of everyday life. The good news is that you can create your own natural massage oil that is wonderful for helping to reduce frayed emotions and to help you to relax.
Instructions
1. Buy only sesame or almond oil that is specifically designed to be used for massage. It has been specially refined and prepared for use on the skin. You can get it at health food stores and online.
2. Choose 100% pure essential oils-only these offer healthful benefits. The label will state "100% pure." You can find them at health food stores and online. Don’t use synthetic oils-they do not have the same benefits.
3. Choose which formula you prefer based on what you like to smell. Formula #1 uses Bergamot, Mandarin, Lavender, Nutmeg and Lemongrass essential oils. Formula #2 uses Allspice, Dill, Fennel, Cinnamon, Mandarin and Marjoram essential oils.
4. Make the Formula #1 massage oil. Measure 4 tablespoons (20ml) of Sesame or Almond oil into the bottle. Add 5 drops of Bergamot, 4 each of Mandarin, Lavender, and Nutmeg and 3 of Lemongrass essential oils. Cap the bottle and shake well. Go to Step 6.
5. Make the Formula #2 massage oil. Measure 4 tablespoons (20ml) of Sesame or Almond oil into the bottle. Add 5 drops of Allspice, 4 of Dill, and 3 each of Fennel, Cinnamon, Mandarin and Marjoram essential oils. Cap the bottle and shake well. Go to Step 6.
6. Massage the oil onto your shoulders, the back of your neck, along your back and on your abdomen, as well as in any other areas you experience tension when you are stressed out. Then cup your hands and inhale the aroma for added benefits.
