Essential oils can also be used for massages because of their therapeutic properties. Their concentration requires them to always be diluted in base oils in a given ratio, because when applied in pure form on the skin they can cause irritation or allergic reactions. For a stronger and better effect you can combine several essential oils.
The biologically active components in essential oils effectively increase physical activity. They help to cope with muscle pain, warm the muscles, relieve tension, increase flexibility, elasticity and plasticity, strengthen joints and ligaments (type of connective tissue).
Basil essential oil, for example, is a powerful antispasmodic, muscle relaxant, analgesic (painkiller) and is used effectively to treat sports injuries such as bruises and contusions. Due to its analgesic properties, it is widely used in the treatment of painful muscle strains, muscle-, joint-, arthritis- and rheumatic pain, stiff and painful joints, neck and back pain.
Massages with essential oils have a direct impact on the emotional state, as they affect the nervous system. In addition, essential oils have antiseptic and antibacterial action. Massages with essential oils, in addition to a beneficial effect on the emotional state, also have a positive effect on the physique.
