Herbs For Carrier And Massage Oils Skin Care Herbal Remedies

Massage is an important therapeutic tool in the hands of a talented therapist and results can be amazing. Sadly, most of us do not have access to massage therapy due to financial, time and location restraints. Don't let that stop you from enjoying the benefits though. The blend of the healing touch of massage and aromatic massage oils blends helps make self massage at home a powerful healing modality. Massage with herbal oils can ease pain from sore muscles and joints, uplift your spirits and even kindle romance.These massage oil remedies will also leave skin smooth, soft and healthy. With the wide variety of oils available, you are able to pick and choose the ones that best fit your skin type.

Carrier oils are an important part of therapeutic aromatherapy. Use a lightly scented oil that doesn't overpower but complements the scent of the essential oils in the massage blend. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils, (5 drops EO per teaspoon or 15 drops EO per tablespoon of base oil) and you are on your way to massage heaven.
