Essential oils pass through the skin since they are fat-soluble molecules and the skin contains
cells, which are lipid (fat) rich membranes. Massage and heat
increase the rate of absorption into the skin and the blood
stream and it is suggested that some oils are metabolised within
the skin. The rate of absorption can be as soon as one hour
following the massage.

Clinical Aromatherapy Massage
combines the therapeutic effects of essential oils with massage
therapy. A blend of essential oils is created to suit each
individual’s requirements. The blend is then applied by
classical massage techniques, which are adapted to provide the
individual with a unique massage experience.
Skill and knowledge are obviously
required in order to select and blend the appropriate oils, with
regard to their chemical properties and safety features, as well
as the practitioner’s familiarity with the bodies systems and
functions to perform effective massage techniques.
Clinical aromatherapy massage is a
holistic method of treating the individual. Rather than treat
only the symptoms of the illness or disease, the holistic
approach looks at treating the whole person. (Although in the
case of specific problems such as a fungal infection in the
toenails a local application can be applied consisting of one or
two blended oils over a short intensive period.)
