Massage with essential oils 

The massage with essential oils is also known under the name of aroma massage and has energetic and healing power. Being performed with essential oils, the benefit is not only in the manual treatment but is multiplied by the strength of the essences released that penetrate the skin. The nature of the essences guarantees this power: it is a pure synthesis of light and heat.

These substances do not come into contact with the terrestrial sphere of the plant, they evaporate easily when they come into contact with the air, burn and originate in the light.

Dispersing outside, they can be seen as “spirits” in full transformation, if we interpret them in an alchemical key. In a botanical key, their formation starts from a simple basic molecule which is the hemiterpene . Reagent molecule, which needs bonds and in the case of essential oils it is pyrophosphoric acid. The essences are formed thanks to light and heat , one would say.

And sorry if it is little, being we beings of light who return to the light. 

Benefits and indications on the use of essential oils for massages

The massage combined with aromatherapy allows absorption in two main ways: the olfactory system and the skin . Through the sense of smell they reach the nervous system and the autonomic aspect directly, with a strong impact on the psyche and mood. As for the skin, the action passes directly through cells and tissues due to a friction that can occur using pure essential oil or diluting it in carrier oil. The tissues are revitalized, toned. 

Obviously there are some precautions , especially if you practice self-massage: use quality oils , do not take them orally. Do not apply them pure on the skin (there are only a few cases of delicate oils such as tea tree oil and lavender), do not expose yourself to ultraviolet rays or lamps after applying essential oils to the skin, avoid contact with the eyes, do not use them on the skin. anogenital area and in the ear canals. Keep them away from heat sources and away from children. 

The use of essences through massage and more

The essences have in themselves the maximum potential reached during the development phase of the plant. When a masseur or masseuse applies them to us, they’re not just smearing. These essences are inserted at the level of the disturbed energetic currents , they are brought back into vibratory agreement.

While being massaged, thoughts are educated, the breath resumes its natural cycle. It is no different from the effects of a meditation. In principle, if you choose a treatment in the morning you are preparing the awakening of the body, if you do one in the evening you will go to re-harmonize.

At best, those who are good at massaging usually have other multiple qualities that make them look like a sort of listening psychologist or a skilled card juggler who knows when to use jokers, knows how to create, open, close, let go. go, lift, drag, consecrate, cuddle. However, you aspire to find such a therapist, because there are some around. 

The text by Francesco Padrini, piscologist, psychotherapist, specialized in psycho-body therapies, psychosexologist, is very interesting in this sense.

Starting from the fundamental notions of bioenergetics, in his text “The great book of massage with essential oils”, Padrini frames the types of people that can happen under the hands of the masseur. The bioenergetic massage , combined with the use of essential oils, will work on these blocks. From the cerebral type , which needs to be more consciously inside the body, to the dependent type , which needs warmth, love, cuddles, up to the submissive type , with which one works at the level of deep tensions, and the dominant type , which tends to hold back the energy in the upper body. Ultimately, the rigid types, which have a balanced but not very soft structure and need to soften and relax, increase respiratory capacity.

If you are not thinking about massage, we suggest other ways to use the essences:

• Bathroom, shower. Be careful never to pour dermoaggressive oils directly into the water, but dissolve them in a suitable excipient that is also oily;
• Compresses or compresses;
• Diffusion in the environment;
• Clutches, fumes and inhalations;
• Internal irrigation;  
• Foot baths, hand baths, sitz baths;
• Rinse and gargle.
