Massage oil recipes: Back pain massage

Massage can help relax tense muscles and relieve aches and pains. Massage therapists may use firm stroking movements up either side of the spine, fanning across the shoulders; circular thumb movements over the small muscles on either side of the spine may also ease discomfort.

Aromatic Face and Body Spritz

A drop or two of essential oil in distilled water makes a refreshing mist for face and body. To make a scented water, add a few drops of a pure, plant-derived essential oil to distilled, chlorine-free water (4 to 5 drops essential oil to each cup of water), or prepare a botanical infusion using dried or fresh flowers and herbs, strain it and then add essential oils. (Optional: 1 to 2 tablespoons rose water, orange-flower water, witch hazel or cider vinegar may be added to each cup of water if desired.) Bottle in a mister or spray bottle (or apply to face and body with a cotton ball).

To fully disperse oils, shake well before spraying. For longer-lasting blends, store in the refrigerator (a must if using fresh or dried plant material) or use tincture of benzoin, a natural preservative available at health food stores. Apply after bathing, exercising, traveling or exposure to the sun.
