Aromatherapy Massage:
Essential Oil Blends

Most of the recipes use 20 ml of carrier oil; that's slightly more than a tablespoon of oil. Do not go out into the sun for at least two hours after applying lemon, bergamot, lime, orange, or any citrus oil to your skin.

Note: Although essential oils are generally safe, they are also powerful and can occasionally cause side effects. Be sure you understand and take responsibility for your choices. If you are pregnant, nursing, or chemically sensitive, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional.
