In a world where stress and anxiety are increasingly common, tantric massage has become a delightful practice for relaxation and general well-being.
One of the most effective ways to enhance the benefits of massage is the use of essential oils. These are extracted from plants, flowers, herbs and roots and have unique therapeutic properties that not only enhance the massage experience, but also contribute significantly to physical and mental health.
A sensual boost
In tantric massage, these essential oils can bring an extra sensuality, generating pampering and a delightful sensory euphoria. Tantra sees the senses as the true gateways to bliss and knowledge, and authentic erotic tantric massage makes each one a real feast.
Your being begins to vibrate as the room fills with the fragrant aroma of essential oil and the sensual body of the masseuse sensuously undulates over your body. An intoxication of the senses gradually envelops you and transports you into a world where you feel pampered, fulfilled, happy. Such an experience wouldn’t be complete without the heavenly sensations of quality essential oils.
But let’s see what aromatherapy is and what role it plays in the practice of massage.
What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is an Art and Science in which aromatic essences extracted naturally from plants are used to harmonize, balance and maintain the health of the body, mind and soul.
These extracts are called essential oils and can be used both externally and internally in certain cases (but only if they are very pure and perfectly natural, and only on the recommendation of a specialist).
History of aromatherapy
Essential oils have been used by people since ancient Egypt (6000 years ago), mainly to fragrance the homes of noblemen. Later, the Egyptians also discovered that essential oils help regenerate and beautify the skin (e.g. frankincense oil, myrrh, etc.).
The term aromatherapy was invented in 1937 by Rene Maurice Gatefosse, a French chemist and perfumer. This art has since developed and many benefits have been discovered from the use of volatile oils in the health and cosmetic industries and, more recently, in holistic massage therapies.
How do essential oils work?
The art of aromatherapy is based on the sense of smell, which is one of the five senses. The sense of smell sends a message to the limbic system of the brain, which influences both the endocrine system and the peripheral nervous system.
This explains why aromatherapy can have a beneficial influence on our emotions, our state of relaxation, our hormonal balance, and even our memory or appetite.
Externally, volatile essential oils can be used in several ways:
How are essential oils used in a holistic tantric massage session?
Before the massage, the desired combination of essential oils is mixed with the base oil. The base oil can be a natural coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, almond oil, etc. This reduces the risk of the essential oils causing certain skin irritations that might occur if applied directly to the skin.
Holistic tantric massage with essential oils refers to the combination of certain volatile oils with curative, healing, relaxing or aphrodisiac properties (depending on what effects we want to achieve) with certain tantric massage techniques.
During massage, these essential oils gradually enter the bloodstream, bringing both physiological and psychological benefits. Some parts of the body are more permeable and allow these essential volatile oils to be absorbed more quickly, and massage experts emphasize these areas during massage (e.g. the vein areas of the arms and neck, the soles of the feet and the navel).
Some essential oils such as vanilla or jasmine have aphrodisiac, euphoric effects and help to produce happy hormones (endorphins, oxytocin) and thus enhance the multiple beneficial effects of tantric massage.
How can using combinations of essential volatile oils during tantric massage help?
The effect can be maximized when we skillfully combine several essential oils that have certain affinities and healing properties specific to the purpose we are seeking to achieve, and when we respect certain quantitative proportions.
Therefore, essential oils have more powerful, synergistic effects when during tantric massage we use several essential oils simultaneously in certain unique combinations, which result from potentiating the action of the bioactive principles of each of them.
For example, a combination of natural essential oils consisting of essential oils of Basil, Citronella, Pine, Ylang-Ylang, Peppermint and based on Argan oil, when used regularly in holistic tantric massages, has hormone balancing effects, increasing the functional and hormonal capacity of the sexual organs.
This combination can also be used to relieve mood changes associated with menopause in women and reduce premenstrual syndrome. The synergistic combination of these natural essential oils in a base of natural argan oil can also produce a soothing, relaxing, regenerating, antioxidant, blood and lymphatic decongestant effect by gently massaging the lower abdomen.
Benefits of essential oils in massage
1.Relaxation and stress reduction
Massage with some essential oils helps reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) levels, inducing a state of deep relaxation. A sensuous massage combined with lavender essential oils, for example, can help release muscle tension and reduce anxiety, providing a sense of calm and balance.
Pure essential oils of lavender, chamomile or ylang-ylang have a calming effect on the nervous system.
2.Relieve muscle and joint pain
Essential oils such as peppermint, eucalyptus or rosemary are recognized for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. When massaged into the skin, they can reduce muscle pain, inflammation and stiffness in joints.
Thus, tantric massage with essential oils can be an effective treatment for people suffering from conditions such as arthritis or muscle pain caused by strenuous exercise.
3.Improve blood circulation
Many essential oils, such as ginger or rosemary, are excellent for stimulating blood circulation.
Applying these during a tantric massage can improve blood flow to the skin and deeper tissues. This not only helps oxygenate cells, but also supports the body’s detoxification processes.
4.Beneficial effects on the skin
Pure essential oils can also have beneficial effects on the skin. Tea tree oil, for example, is well known for its antimicrobial and skin-cleansing properties and is ideal for treating dermatological conditions such as acne or eczema.
Other oils, such as rose or argan, are renowned for their ability to moisturize and revitalize the skin, giving a younger, brighter appearance.
5.Improve psycho-emotional state
Pure essential oils have a direct influence on emotional state by stimulating the limbic system in the brain, which regulates emotions.
Sensual erotic massage with citrus oils, such as orange or lemon, can help combat mild depression and improve mood. Bergamot and sandalwood oils are also excellent for reducing stress and anxiety, with a deeply calming effect.
