Support your detox with Aromatherapy Massage

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Lifestyle factors and the exposure to harmful chemicals and toxins in your food and environment can contribute to your lymphatic system becoming overloaded. This can cause congestion in your body and every form of ‘itis’ and many forms of inflammation . A sluggish lymphatic system is a contributing factor in cellulite and oedema particularly swelling in the hands, legs and feet.

January is a time for renewed intentions to take steps to support your health and wellbeing. Many of you are undertaking detox programs incorporating changes to diet and exercise into your daily regime.

Together with making these lifestyle changes, using essential oils and Aromatherapy massage can support your lymphatic system to effectively eliminate toxins and treat many conditions associated with toxic overload restoring your wellbeing.

In a detoxifying Aromatherapy massage we can use essential oils that stimulate your white blood cells to clean up microbes and toxins. These can be blood purifiers or detoxifiers. They help your body eliminate excess waste and improve the function of your lymphatic system. Essential oils of carrot seed, cypress, grapefruit, fennel seed, geranium, juniper berry, lemon, mandarin and rosemary can be used for this purpose.

We can also use essential oils that stimulate circulation which also stimulates the flow of lymph. Essential oils such as black pepper, cinnamon bark or leaf, clove bud, cardamom, ginger, lemongrass and rosemary can be used in a lymphatic massage blend to stimulate the circulation.

We could also choose essential oils which have diuretic properties stimulating your kidneys to accelerate the detoxification process. Essential oils such as grapefruit, fennel seed, juniper berry, lemon, mandarin, and sweet orange can be used.
Some essential oils stimulate lymph and tissue fluid circulation, including grapefruit, lime, sweet orange, mandarin, peppermint and rosemary.

Aromatherapy massage is a perfect vehicle to compliment the application of the lymphatic stimulating essential oils. The major technique used in aromatherapy massage is lymphatic drainage massage (over 75%). This gentle rhythmical massage manually stimulates the lymph flow, boosts your immunity, decreases your pain and balances your central nervous system.

ESSENTIAL OILS + BREATH = INSTANT STRESS RELIEF

Close-up of a relaxed woman with a bottle of scented oilEssential oils when inhaled go directly to your brain’s emotional centre making them particularly useful for emotional support.

In this calmer headspace you will feel more connected to your heart centre and will be able to ground yourself and think more clearly before reacting to situations in your life that may be challenging.

In acute situations where you need instant calm, such as trauma, shock or emotional overload inhale the appropriate essential oil directly from the bottle, or place two drops on a cotton ball, tissue or hanky and take a few slow deep breaths.

Mandarin is an oil of choice for this purpose.  Take a few slow deep breaths and feel the relief.

To create a relaxing atmosphere in your home or work space diffuse essential oil blends in an electric burner or

diffuser. Place up to six drops and enjoy the beautiful aroma.

To be Calm; blend 2 drops Mandarin, 2 drops lavender and 2 drops bergamot

For clear thinking; blend 2 drops lemon, 2 drops of rosemary and 2 drops of peppermint

Support the immune system with energising, refreshing and uplifting essential oil blends with antibacterial and antiviral properties.  A great immune boosting blend to diffuse in the home is 1 drop sweet thyme, 2 drops palmarosa, 2 drops bergamot and 1 drop niaouli.

Diffusing essential oils is much more than just experiencing a pleasant aroma. Diffusing essential oils helps to eliminate airborne microbes, lift your mood, balance your body energetically, all of which contribute to boosting the immune system.

Another simple way to inhale immune boosting essential oils is in an aroma stick. A lovely blend of lavender, niaouli and tea tree is effective. You can also boost the immune system by keeping hands clean and sanitised. For a personal sanitiser try
Lavender and orange natural hand cleanser. 50 mls aloe vera gel 21 drops of lavender and 7 drops of orange.Again the

Aromatherapy for Health and Wellbeing

Close-up of a relaxed woman with a bottle of scented oilWhat is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils (aromatic plant extracts) often in massage and vaporisation, in skincare and body care to improve physical, emotional and psychological conditions.
I love it because it is very effective and can be incorporated so easily into your everyday routine, especially through your skin and body care as well as using essential oils to boost your immune system, for muscular aches and pains, in your household cleaning, for stress relief, in room scenting, in the bath, and 101 other uses.

One of the simplest and easiest ways to use essential oils for general health and wellbeing is to vaporise or diffuse them. The safest and most effective vaporisation tool is an electric diffuser. It maintains a regulated heat so that the essential oils keep their therapeutic benefits. It is also a very safe way to diffuse essential oils because there is no naked flame. You simply turn the diffuser on for 15 minutes to warm up and add up to six drops of essential oil. It is a good idea to have some ventilation if you are diffusing oils in a small space and use the 30 minutes on/ 30 minutes off rule.

A great blend for general health and wellbeing, to boost the immune system, relieve cold symptoms, and to use in household cleaning, is a breathe easy blend. Smells lovely and contains lavender, cajeput, lemon and peppermint. This is a purifying blend designed to cleanse the mind body and spirit.

Cajeput and lemon have antimicrobial properties boosting the immune system and combating germs and peppermint is pain relieving and clearing for respiratory and sinus issues.
