This is a group for those massage therapists who are interested in relaxation massage and helping people de-stress. This is a place where we can share ideas and learn from one another.
Just a suggestion;
For those of you not familiar with essential oils, do know that used properly can act in a medicinal way. Since many of our pharmaceuticals come from plants, it only makes sense that the oils we use can have the same effect on our clients bodies as if they were being treated with liquid medicine. To be able to differentiate between a true essential oil and a perfumed oil test it by smell. A perfumed oil will have either an overlay of alcohol or some off oder. A true essential oil will only smell like the plant from which it came. To learn which oils best suit which pain or body issue check out the essential oils guide from a-z located at htt://wwwbuild doterra.com there are a lot of really good information material there.
