Limitations and contraindications regarding heating massage oils containing essential oils
Introduction
Massage oils containing essential oils are often used for their therapeutic and relaxing properties. However, heating these oils should be done with caution, as risks can arise if they are heated incorrectly or used at temperatures that are too high. This leaflet explains the limitations and contraindications related to heating these oils.
Limitations of Heating Massage Oils with Essential Oils
Degeneration of therapeutic properties: Some essential oils are sensitive to heat, and exposure to high temperatures can alter their therapeutic properties. For example, active compounds like monoterpenes and esters can break down, reducing the effectiveness of the oil.
Loss of aromas: Overheating can lead to a significant loss of the aromas of the essential oils, which reduces the sensory experience of the massage session.
Change in chemical composition: At temperatures that are too high, chemical reactions can occur, changing the composition of the essential oil and creating breakdown products that are potentially irritating to the skin.
Contraindications
Temperature too high: It is not recommended to heat massage oils above 40-45°C. Higher temperatures can lead to adverse effects, both on the quality of the oils and on the skin.
Sensitive or allergic skin: If you have sensitive skin, allergies, or skin conditions, it is recommended that you avoid applying heated oils that contain essential oils. Heat can increase the risk of irritation or allergic reaction, especially with certain powerful essential oils such as cinnamon, clove, or peppermint.
Pregnant women and children: Some essential oils may be contraindicated during pregnancy and for children. Heating these oils can release substances that become irritating or unsafe for these sensitive groups.
Respiratory system: Prolonged exposure to heated essential oils can release more concentrated vapors, which can be irritating to the respiratory tract, especially in people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions.
Precautions for use
Preliminary test: Before using heated oils all over the body, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions.
Use a diffuser or double boiler: If you want to heat the oil, use a diffuser or a double boiler. Avoid using direct heating (e.g., in a microwave oven or on a direct heat source) as this can alter the quality of the essential oil.
Temperature check: Before applying the heated oil, make sure that its temperature is comfortable to the touch, ideally below 40°C. You can test this on the back of your hand.
Conclusion
Heating massage oils containing essential oils can be beneficial when done carefully and at moderate temperatures. However, it is essential to take into account contraindications related to skin sensitivity, existing medical conditions, as well as the temperature to which the oils are heated. Following these precautions will ensure a safe and enjoyable massage experience.
