Breast Massage - Essential Oils to Use

by KG Stiles

To make a healthy breast massage oil, blend equal parts of the following essential oils:

Rose Geranium (Pelargonium roseum) is useful in regulating physical, mental, and emotional imbalances. Rose Geranium oil has a calming and uplifting effect on the emotions, and is helpful for relieving depression, nervousness, and fear. When you are feeling out of sync with yourself, try Geranium oil to gently reconnect with yourself and your body's own natural rhythms.

Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) is composed almost entirely of sesquiterpenes, which give it a powerful antispasmodic and sedative action. Ylang Ylang is the first essential oil to consider when needing help for regulating and balancing the nervous system. Research studies show that Ylang Ylang oil stimulates the central nervous system and is helpful for alleviating depression.

Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is a hemostat and decongestant with the most powerful astringent action in aromatherapy. It is a a powerful vasoconstrictor with astringent properties that make Cypress effective for treating conditions associated with congestion of lymph or blood circulation. Cypress oil's antispasmodic action makes it an excellent oil for relieving aches and pains.

Lavender (Lavendula augustifolia) is beneficial for relieving inflammatory conditions such as rheumatism, sore muscles, and back pain. Lavender oil promotes healing and regeneration for all skin types.

Sweet Marjoram (Origanum marjorana) has a spicy, warm, and soothing aroma that is relaxing, comforting, and calming to your nervous system. Sweet Marjoram has a comforting and soothing effect and promotes deep relaxation and release of long held patterns of tension and stress. Use Marjoram for pain relief and to speed healing.

DIRECTIONS: Dilute 8-12 drops of the essential oil blend in a one ounce bottle of carrier oil, and allow to synergize for 24 hours or longer. Gently apply a small amount of the massage oil over breast and chest areas, or use in a hot compress to relieve congestion and promote circulation and healing
