Introducing aromatherapy essential formula
massage oil into your lifestyle can be quite easy, fun, and
therapeutically beneficial. The practice of using
aromatherapy essential formula massage oil goes a long way
back, nearly 6,000 years ago.
At first, the oils used in aromatherapy were added to
incense sticks to diffuse their essences into the air. Later
on, the Egyptians discovered a more effective means of
extracting aromatherapy essential formula massage oil from
plants. The process came to be known as distillation and it
is only one among many methods of extraction.
Aromatherapy essential formula massage oils
are derived from plants, usually by distillation, but
sometimes by expression and solvent extraction. |
One plant yields only a few drops of
aromatherapy essential formula massage oils so that more
plant materials are needed just to produce a bottle of
essential oil.
Aromatherapy essential formula massage oils are highly
concentrated. Only a few drops are usually needed in order
to achieve the desired effect. There are many uses for
aromatherapy essential formula massage oils. They can be
used for steam inhalation, room freshening, general
household freshening, bug repellant, bathing, and of course,
the ever popular massage therapy.
Aromatherapy essential formula massage oils are usually
combined with another type of oil in order to dilute them.
This other type of oil is called carrier oil or base oil.
Carrier oils helps “carry” aromatherapy essential formula
massage oils so that they get easily absorbed by the skin.
