Is lavender or eucalyptus good for massage?
Both work well as essential oils for massage, but they offer very different experiences. Lavender brings a sweet fragrance that drifts softly through the air. It creates a comforting atmosphere that pairs beautifully with a slow, relaxing massage. Eucalyptus, by contrast, carries a crisp, cooling scent, perfect for a refreshing aromatic experience during massage.
To make your own massage blend, start by choosing one or two massage essential oils that match the mood you’d like to set. Add them to a carrier oil such as Jojoba, Almond or fractionated Coconut oil to ensure safe application and a smooth glide during massage. A good rule of thumb is three to five drops of essential oil per 10 ml of carrier oil. Shake or stir gently to combine, then apply as desired for a personalised aromatic massage experience.
