Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy Massage and Essential Oils

Essential oils make a massage feel like a spa, and they are also strong, concentrated substances. This course starts with safety: how to buy and store oils, how to dilute them, which oils stay out of a home massage, and how to keep children and pets safe. Then it moves to the enjoyable part: building your own blend by scent, diffusing well, adding oils to a bath the right way, and a 45-minute aromatherapy massage routine.
