Indian head massage with essential oils

Indian head massage includes a serie of massage movements that touches the scalp very softly and very firmly. Indian head massage also includes massage for shoulders, neck and upper arms. A person getting the massage sits in a chair with normal clothes on.

Few years ago Indian head massage was very popular in Finland. Now I feel that it’s not that popular anymore, but it is very relaxing and easy to do at home. Hair dressers use to offer it every where and it was taught in hair dresser schools. Of course spas, masseurs and beauticians still offer it. Indian head massage is extremely old thing, over 1000 years old, so I assume that it will come back as a trend again. If you need help with doing it at home, there are classes for it.

Diffuser blends for aromatherapy

Why you should diffuse essential oils? To receive aromatic benefits! Our sence of smell affects very deeply to our emotions and memory. You can smell your oils from your hands (or from bottle) with the same effect. A diffuser usually runs up to three hours with one go. Essential oils reach your brain in ten seconds. Lavender has very calming effect, citrus fruits have lifting and so on. You can get more interesting scents by mixing oils and also different results.  I am waiting for my first diffuser very impatiently! It’s coming soon!

Essential oils for athletes

howtouseessentialoils1108

The World Championships for athletes made me think about athletes and essential oils. How could an athlete or somebody who enjoys exercising use their oils? Here are some tips:

  • Relax achy or tired muscles and joints

Peppermint can be used to relax achy muscles and joints. Take couple of drops of peppemint (or doTerra’s Deep Blue oil blend) and mix it to coconut oil or some other carrier oil and massage it to the place you need. You can drink doTerra’s Peppermint oil by adding a drop to water or some other drink. Lavender can be used to relax and recover tired muscles.

  • Boost immune support

Clover and Frankincense has been proven to add white cell account in the laboratories, which helps your body to fight germs. You can add two drops, diluted with carrier oil to your wrists or bottom of your feet, for example. Frankincense also renews cells, so I put a couple of drops to it to my face every evening, double effect!

  • Clean sports gear in a non toxic way

Especially if you have a man in your life who loves to exercise, you may have noticed that sports gear brings extra odor in to your life. Lemon oil disinfects shoes, ends of the clubs and helmets, where there is bacteria. You can either wipe with a cloth with a couple of drops of lemon oil in it or make your own spray with lemon oil, water and maybe some castile soap (or doTerra’s cleaning concentrate). Lemon makes stains fade in the sun, but it can also dilute colors, so be careful with that. If you want to make your whites whiter, that’s a good tip for that purpose. The smell of lemon, makes the sport gear smell nicer.

  • Avoid athlete’s foot and nail fungus or treat them

If you have ever suffered from athlete’s foot or nail fungus, you know those are nasty. Wiping your toe nails and feet with couple of drops of tea tree oil (Melaleuca) you can improve your chances with fight against bacteria. Swimming or showering in public places increases your chances in getting skin infections. Tea tree oil has been used since 1920’s in Australia to treat skin infections. I swim a lot in swimming halls. If I have any cuts in my feets or near my toe nails, I clean them with tea tree oil after to make sure I don’t get any infections.

Urheilijan eteeriset öljyt

howtouseessentialoils1108

Käynnissä olevat yleisurheilun MM-kisat saivat minut miettimään urheilijoita ja eteerisiä öljyjä. Miten urheilija tai kotikuntoilija voisi hyöntyntää öljyjään harrastuksessaan? Tässä muutamia vinkkejä:

  • Rentouttamaan kipeitä tai väsyneitä lihaksia ja niveliä

Piparminttua voi käyttää rentouttamaan kipeitä lihaksia tai niveliä. Pari tippaa piparminttua (tai doTerran Deep Blue öljysekoitusta) voi sekoittaa esim. kookosöljyyn ja hieroa alueelle. doTerran piparminttua voi myös juoda laittamalla tipan veteen/ muuhun juomaan. Laventelia voi käyttää samalla tavalla rentoutamaan ja palauttamaan väsyneitä lihaksia.

  • Parantamaan immuunipuolustusta

Neilikka- ja Frankincense-öljyt nostavat tutkitusti kehon valkosolumäärää, mikä parantaa ihmisen puolustusta sairauksia vastaan. Voit laittaa pari tippaa laimennettuna johonkin muuhun öljyyn esim. ranteisiin tai jalanpohjiin. Frankincense uusii myös soluja, joten itse laitan sitä kasvoille joka päivä, tuplavaikutus!)

  • Puhdistamaan myrkyttömästi urheiluvarusteita

Erityisesti jos elämässäsi on urheilua harrastava mies, olet ehkä huomannut urheiluvarusteiden tuovan ylimääräistä hajua elämääsi. Sitruunaöljy desinfioi myrkyttömästi kengät, mailojen päät, kypärät ym. joissa bakteerit viihtyvät. Voit joko pyyhkiä liinalla, jossa on pari tippaa sitruunaöljyä tai tehdä oman desinfiointisprayn, jota ruiskuttaa haluttuun paikkaan. Sitruuna vaalentaa kangasta auringossa! Jos et halua haalistaa värejä, kannattaa varoa aurinkoa, kun tuote kuivuu ulkona. Jos taas haluat valkaista valkoisia vaatteita, sitruuna toimii auringossa hyvin. Sitruunan tuoksu raikastaa myös ihanasti varusteita.

  • Vältä jalka- tai kynsisieni ja hoida niitä

Jos sinulla on joskus ollut jalka- tai kynsisieni, tiedät että ne ovat ällöttäviä. Pyyhkimällä varpaan kynnet ja jalkaterät parilla tipalla teepuuöljyä, voit vähentää bakteereja jaloissasi. Uimalla ja suikuttelemalla julkisilla paikoilla, lisäät riskiä saada tulehdus. Teepuuöljyä on käytetty 1920-luvulta lähtien Australiassa hoitamaan ja ehkäisemään ihotulehduksia. Uin paljon uimahalleissa. Jos minulla on yhtään haavoja jaloissa tai kynsien lähellä, puhdistan ne aina uintireissun jälkeen teepuuöljyllä, vähentääkseni bakteereja.

Miksi juuri doTerra-öljyt?

Tämän viikon vlogissa kerron miksi olen valinnut juuri doTerran öljyt monien muiden eteeristen öljyjen joukosta. Suurin syy mielestäni on se, että ne toimivat. Ne ovat oikeasti 100% puhtaita eteerisiä öljyjä ja niitä voi käyttää hoitamaan terveyttä iholla ja jopa sisäisesti.

Essential oils and yoga

howtouseessentialoils

A lot of people seek calming experiences from yoga for their everyday life. A moment, where they can take a break from their shopping lists, work phone calls and their own thoughts. Some also want yoga to improve their bodies, make it stronger, more limber and healthier. I’m not going to get deeper with yoga asanas here, but with essential oils you can get even better health benefits with your yoga practise.

Diffuse essential oils while doing yoga practise

Depending of the time of the day and the mood you are seeking for, with diffusing oils, you can affect your state of mind. With Lavender, Valor or Frankincense, you can relax your mind. You can get more energy with citrus oils, like Lemon, Lime or Wild orange. You only need two drops of essential oils to your diffuser

Essential oils on your skin during or after yoga practise

Before or after yoga, you can release tensions in your muscles with Lavender or Valor oil. You can put two drops to coconut or olive oil and on to your sour muscles. If you practise strength yoga, vinyasa yoga or ashtanga yoga and your muscles seem sour after, you can put two drops of peppermint oil or doTerra’s Deep Blue oil blend that releases pain from your muscles or joints. You can dilute the oils with coconut or olive oil.
