Doterra Aromatouch: A Soothing Blend Of Aromatic Scents

The doTERRA AromaTouch Technique is a powerful combination of aroma and touch, stimulating two of the most powerful senses to create a profound overall wellness experience. The AromaTouch essential oil blend combines cypress, peppermint, marjoram, basil, grapefruit, and lavender to complement the relaxing physical contact during the AromaTouch Technique. The blend has a powdery, minty, fresh, and clean fragrance that adds an aromatic boost to massages. The AromaTouch Technique is about creating an emotional connection through tactile communication, which is our first form of communication, even before birth. The olfactory system, with its direct connection to the brain's emotional control center, also plays a crucial role in inducing powerful emotional responses and creating close connections.

AromaTouch's minty, fresh scent

The doTERRA AromaTouch Technique is a powerful, multi-sensory experience that combines the sense of smell with touch to create a profound overall wellness experience. The AromaTouch essential oil blend has a clean, fresh, and minty fragrance that gives an additional aromatic boost to massages.

The AromaTouch blend combines several pure essential oils to create its unique scent:

• Peppermint: A hybrid of water mint and spearmint with a sharp, sweet scent that can create an exhilarating environment.
• Cypress: Derived from tall evergreen trees, this oil has an energizing, clean, and refreshing aroma.
• Marjoram: Also known as "wintersweet" or "joy of the mountains," marjoram oil is valued for its calming properties.
• Basil: With a high linalool content, basil essential oil has a relaxing aroma and exceptional cleansing properties.
• Grapefruit: Grapefruit oil creates an uplifting environment with its limonene constituent, ideal for daily motivation.
• Lavender: A must-have essential oil with an unmistakable aroma, lavender is widely used for its gentle, relaxing fragrance.

Together, these essential oils create a fresh and minty aroma that complements the relaxing physical contact of the AromaTouch Technique. This technique involves applying the essential oils to the back and feet, providing a feeling of overall wellness. The olfactory stimulation from the aroma, combined with the gentle touch of the technique, creates a strong connection and positively influences the well-being of the individual.

The AromaTouch Technique

Aroma is an important component of the AromaTouch Technique because it instantly prompts powerful emotional, physiological, and biochemical responses. Activating your olfactory system can direct your mind to specific memories, relax you, positively influence the function of different body systems, and help create a close connection with your partner.

AromaTouch Hand Technique

The AromaTouch Hand Technique is a quick and convenient way to promote well-being and build connections through the topical application of essential oils. It is a shortened version of the full AromaTouch Technique that can be performed in under 10 minutes and almost anywhere.

The technique involves five simple movements:

• Dorsum Tissue Stretch: Grip the recipient's hand with the dorsum (back) of the hand facing upward and use your thumbs to stretch the tissue from the inside out, moving from the wrist to the base of the fingers.
• Regional Tissue Pull: Grip the recipient's hand with the palm facing up and use your thumbs to work through all three regions, applying medium pressure and covering the entire surface area of each region.
• Pinpoint Zone Activation: Using your thumbs, work through each of the hand's five zones. Place your thumbs at the top of the hand near the wrist and work down to the tip of the finger. Repeat this process for all five zones, three times each.
• Interphalangeal Pull: With the recipient's palm facing up, grip the wrist with one hand. Use your other hand to stretch the tissue between each finger away from the hand by gripping and sliding it between your thumb and forefinger. Repeat this pull three times between each finger.
• Apply a light, even coating of your selected oil to the entire palm of the recipient's hand (about one to three drops).

The AromaTouch Hand Technique allows you to choose any essential oil for the experience. For example, Citrus Bliss or Wild Orange for a midday pick-me-up, or Lavender or doTERRA Serenity for a calming bedtime routine with your kids.

AromaTouch oil's use in baths

AromaTouch is a blend of essential oils with a unique aroma that combines the freshness of peppermint, cypress, basil, and grapefruit with the soothing scent of marjoram and lavender. This blend is perfect for massages, providing a relaxing and comforting experience while also reducing tension and soothing the skin.

The AromaTouch essential oil blend can also be used in baths to create a luxurious and therapeutic experience. Here are some tips and instructions for using AromaTouch oils in the bath:

Preparation:

Before filling your bathtub, ensure that you have the desired amount of AromaTouch essential oil blend on hand, as well as some Epsom salts and a carrier oil. The carrier oil is important to dilute the essential oils and prevent skin irritation. Fractionated coconut oil is recommended by doTERRA for this purpose.

Creating the Bath Blend:

Fill your bathtub with water at your preferred temperature. Add a couple of drops of the AromaTouch essential oil blend and a generous amount of Epsom salts to the water. You can also add the carrier oil to this mixture if you wish to further dilute the essential oils. Stir the water gently to distribute the oils and salts evenly.

Enhancing the Experience:

Dim the lights or use candlelight to create a relaxing atmosphere. Perhaps play some soothing music or nature sounds in the background. You can also add some fresh flowers or plants to the bathroom to bring a touch of nature into your space.

Precautions:

Always do a patch test before using any new essential oil blend. Apply a small amount to your skin and wait 24 hours to ensure that no irritation or allergic reaction occurs. If you have any health concerns or are taking medications, consult your doctor or a certified aromatherapy practitioner before using essential oils in the bath. Keep essential oils away from children and pets, and avoid getting them into your eyes or other sensitive areas.

Benefits:

The AromaTouch essential oil blend in your bath can provide a deeply relaxing and comforting experience. The blend's soothing aroma and the warm water can help relieve stress and tension, promoting overall wellness. The Epsom salts also have therapeutic benefits, helping to relax muscles and joints. This bath can be a wonderful way to unwind after a long day, soothing both your body and mind.
