Is aroma oil massage full-body?
This massage therapy is commonly a full-body treatment using diluted essential oils (1–3%) to support systemic relaxation. Sessions typically include back, shoulders, neck, legs, feet, arms, hands, chest, and often scalp or abdomen. There are generally few risks associated with aromatherapy massage. One consideration is possible sensitivity to the essential oils used during your session. Your massage therapist should always dilute the oil with massage lotion or a carrier oil before applying to the skin.
What is the 30 50 20 rule for aromatherapy?
Follow the 30:50:20 ratio when mixing scent notes – 30% top note (3 drops), 50% middle note (5 drops) and 20% base note (2 drops), label each new blend clearly. Essential oil blends perform best after ‘resting’ for a day or so, this will allow the oils to blend and harmonise fully. The 30/50/20 rule Put simply, your blend will be made up from 30% top note oils, 50% middle note oils and 20% base note oils. So if your blend was 10 drops in total, you’d use 3 drops of a top note, 5 of a middle note and 2 of a base note. We told you it was simple! And so on and so forth.
