Essential Oils we use in our practices

The owners have no control over the oils they are allowed to use in the treatments, it is a corporate decision on what oils to use. I suspect that there is some kind of "deal" set up between the corporate office and the essential oil company. Are they really the best for the client? Not so sure as I know nothing about them.

The only oils I use personally and profesionally are Young Living Essential Oils. If your place of work uses other brands of oils might I suggest presenting the owners and mangers with a workshop on YLEO. It may help bring YLEO into your work enivorment and help get rid of the wories about contraindicated for all involved..

Wow...sounds like Massage Envy should take a re-look at some of their policies. I mean, if the policy says that EOs are contraindicated for pregnant and breast-feeding clients, then common-sense dictates that it is also contraindicated for the therapists as well.

I mean, the last time I gave a Raindrop Technique treatment, I inhaled the EOs and I distributed the EOs with my hands. My client gets the EO treatment and so do I. I am not pregnant nor do I have kids. I know I get a "dose" of EOs. If there is a possible problem with EOs and pregnancy, then the policy should be universal--covering clients and therapists. No notes required!

Yes it does, thanks Darcy!

Yes, Pat all three are contraindicated and is with Massage Envy's everywhere a doctor's note is is only way an employee can be excused. That is a Massage Envy policy not an owner policy. Massage Envy dictates a lot of policies that owners have to inforce I have learned from my owner and CG Funk. Hope this helps.

Darcy,

I also work for Massage envy and just received this training also. I personally do not think the training was adequate enough to deal with all the contraindications for EOs. I also know nothing about the oils they use, I too only use Young Living oils myself. I am not particularly comfortable with recommending this procedure to my clients yet. I guess time will tell. In the meantime, the manager told a pregnant therapist it was OK to do the aromatherapy on clients while pregnant. We all said NO you can't do it. So she was told she needed a doctor's note if she can''t do it, what a note that she is pregnant? I am not getting that at all. Then another therpaist says she cannot do it because she has seizure disorders so she too needs a doctor's note and another therapist is allergic to everything so she too needs one. Seems kind of silly but those are the rules.

I work for Massage Envy. We have just completed a training in Essential Oils for the Clinic/Company. All Essential Oils are contraindicated for Pregnant and Breastfeeding women in this training. I have to go by their portacol. We are offering 4 blends beginning Oct 1, 2010. Lavender Garden, Aches and Pains, Anxiety Relief, Mint and Rosemary. They are all contraindicated for Pregnant and Breastfeeding women. I have been teaching this new class for Massage Envy. In our Portacol Pregnant women are at a higher risk for complications from the Essential Oils and these risks outweigh any benefits received . Complications are dizziness, nausea, and severe chills. Also Breastfeeding Women pass the oils onto the Babies and Babies are contraindicated. Massage Envy has partnered with WYNDMERE NATURALS, which I personally know nothing about. The bottles arrived with screw caps and no seals on them. Have any of you heard of this brand of Essential Oils before? I only know of Young Living Personally. I can tell you Wyndmere Naturals are all natural and never tested on animals, contain no synthetic oils. That's all I know about them from the class I have been teaching for Massage Envy the past 2 weeks. Will conclude tomorrow. Hope this helps.

Yes I thought it was only certain EOs that were contraindicated for pregancy and breast feeding women.

Darcy, could you elaborate more on why EOs are contraindicated for pregnant and breastfeeding women? I work with several nurses/midwives from the local hospital in the ob dept. They have taken classes on using EOs with labor patients. I would like to know more. You could list it in the discussion forum. Thanks.

ALL Essential Oils are contraindicated for Pregnant and Breastfeeding women.
Seizure disorders are NOT on my list for lavender recipients contraindicators.
