Diane Biasi is contributing our article this month: Diane has been a big help training our therapists in the doTERRA Aromatouch protocol. We appreciate all she does to help us grow.

Euphoric, relaxed, energized, de-stressed: these are some of the comments recipients of the Aromatouch technique have used to describe how they felt after an Aromatouch technique session. Eight pure essential oils or oil blends applied on the back and feet help to make this experience possible: Balance , Lavender, OnGuard , Melaleuca, Aromatouch , Deep Blue, Wild Orange and Peppermint meld together for a unique experience.

doTERRA has developed a new oil application technique called the Aroma Touch Technique. It is a clinical approach to essential oil application and a powerful, accessible way for everyone to experience the healing powers of essential oils. The technique was developed by Dr. David K. Hill, a leading expert in essential oils for use for medicinal benefit.

I first learned the AromaTouch technique in a room full of essential oil enthusiasts at the Dixie Center. Dr. Hill taught us the details of each oil used in the technique and why they are in the technique. Then he taught us about the sympathetic response and the parasympathetic response and the four areas addressed by the technique such as stress, toxins, inflammation and balance. By the middle of the day we were ready for our turn on the table. We learned by watching, doing and then experiencing the treatment by a rotation of 3 students with one massage table. If you can imagine a convention sized room with 50 or so massage tables and each of us anticipating our turn. The aroma in the room was intoxicating. The combination of the eight oils creates it own unique smell. It was an incredible experience to be taught by the developer of the technique and to watch so many people react to the treatment. Everyone had a unique response. But, all were benefited and anxious to go home and teach their associates or family members.

As the flu season kicked in I was now armed with a technique that would help sick family members but I also had a technique that I could use for wellness or an aching back after a long trip. Many times last winter I applied the oils of the Aromatouch technique on my eight year old son. When he had a flu virus with a fever, I would apply the eight oils and his fever would drop immediately, sometimes by one point, sometimes more. Most of the time, he would wake up fever free and feeling well and he would go back to school the next day. If he didn’t return the next day, he would return to school within a couple of days when other kids with the same virus were out of school for the week.

My husband is a hard working person physically, and he has some nerve damage. When he is in pain he will apply the oil blend Deep Blue on his knees or neck or where ever he has damage. On severe days, I apply the entire Aromatouch technique on him and he not only sleeps well but feels relief from his ailments. I have been traveling a lot this summer on road trips. When I was traveling alone I would apply the eight oils on my spine before and/or after my drive as far as I could reach on my spine. They helped tremendously to keep me pain free and able to handle a long drive myself. Of course, Michaeal’s massages would help me in between my trips. Sometimes, I would bring him a bottle of the Aromatouch blend for him to apply on my shoulders during a massage.

I have been pleased to teach Michael and his team of massage therapists the AromaTouch technique. It is a great benefit to me to have the service offered on his menu. There are many times when I am too busy to apply it to my husband or times I wish he could apply it to me and was not available. It is a great benefit to our community to have the Aromatouch treamtent being available to all us.

The Aromatouch treatment can be applied as often as necessary to help the body maintain health or to help those with health issues. Athletes benefit from the treatment either before and/or after an event. It can also be applied to the calves as well. I applied it to the back of my mother’s knees last week when she was in severe pain from pinched nerves. She was out of bed in 30 minutes. It can be adapted to add essential oils for a specific need or a therapist can modify the treatment as necessary for individual needs. It would be a great add-on prior to a massage for health maintenance or sore muscles. The massage room would also smell heavenly and benefit you aromatically as well.

Some people like to receive a weekly treatment, some like to have it applied monthly.

The uses of essential oils are vast and represent a well-documented model for improving overall health. Widespread acceptance of essential oils has led many to choose the more natural approach to healing and prevention. doTERRA CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils have been recognized as the most therapeutic oils in the world.
