Can I use Essential Oils for massages?
For Valentine’s, I want to get my husband all the makings for a wonderful massage. A website suggested essential oils as a massaging oil, but the more research I do, the less sure I am of it. My two questions are this; 1. Are essential oils oily enough to use as lubricant for a handheld massager; and, are they safe to be put directly on the skin?
No and mostly no. Essential oils are not oily enough to use as a lubricant, and most essential oils should not be applied directly to the skin- that’s dangerous and can lead to irritations and even burns. Lavender can go directly on skin, and tea tree oil can sometimes go directly on skin (depends on the person’s sensitivity.) Most other EOs cannot. Peppermint, for example, can cause severe burns.
You’ll need a Carrier Oil for the essential oil. You can use pretty much any kind of oil- you can find things like jojoba oil, Apricot Kernel oil, etc. or use what you have at home. Olive oil may change the scent of the essential oil a little bit, but works okay, as do other cooking oils.
Add a couple of drops to an ounce or two of the carrier oil. Then you’ll have a nice consistency with the essential oil scent to use.
