If you’re a seasoned recipient of massage, you may strongly prefer getting it on a massage table – or not. If you’re a man who stumbled across my blog and immersed himself in its pearls of wisdom, I’ll tell you the pros and cons of massage tables. And which option you’d get if you came for a massage to me. 

The only pro of massage tables
that I see is not for you, but for the masseuse. If it’s for you too, then very indirectly. Only in the sense that if the masseuse is 100% comfortable while massaging you, she’ll transfer her comfort and well grounded energy to you through her touch. And that will enhance the healing effect of the massage. But I said indirectly. And if you ever get to know me, you’ll find out that I don’t waste words. The pro of massage tables is very definitely for the therapist. Massage tables were invented to help the masseuse keep a straight back and be able to walk around you for easy access to every part of your body. Her straight back will prevent pain in it, thus enhance her comfort…. And enable solid pressure in certain movements during the massage. But that’s about it.

I and my friends who have been on them find massage tables immensely uncomfortable because: 

they’re too narrow, which makes you have to lie very still and constrainedly in order not to destabilize the table. The masseuse’s movements and mainly pressures destabilize it enough, let alone you wanting to move a limb!
they’re not rock-solidly stable. That induces a feeling of the possibility of falling, and even though falling is highly unlikely, emotions aren’t logical, and having that worry at the back of the mind is not exactly conducive to relaxation.
the massage tables that have a hole for the face are the worst, because gravity does its magic whether we like it or not and after a while of motionless lying your face will feel like wanting to be sucked out through the hole, which can be painful. A massage is to induce relaxation and destroy, not create pain!
Massaging on the bed
is not good either. This is because the mattress absorbs most of the pressure of massage movements that are to compress the deep tissues to stimulate an influx of blood and circulation into them. Thus the only option that remains and I find the best by far is to massage on a special massage and physio mat on the floor. Can you deduce why? If not, never mind. You can always ask me.

Gentlemen, why is it better to go to an independent masseuse than a massage clinic or parlour if you want a real quality massage? 

Massage clinics and parlours are clinical.
And their clinical conveyor beltish atmosphere doesn’t exactly induce relaxation, which is the whole point of going for a massage! After all, think about it: would you rather have a massage somewhere private, quiet, cozy? Or somewhere where you can hear voices and coughs of people waiting in a waiting room behind the thin walls of a treatment room? An independent masseuse offers an environment in which you can truly relax, because it’s private, quiet, and far homier and cozier than any parlour or clinic will ever be. The clinical element is not there. And that will make a big difference to your relaxation.

Restrictive opening hours – and independent massage
Massage clinics and parlours operate opening hours which you have to suit. An independent masseuse will often operate hours to suit you! That makes a big difference. And yes, weekends, and sometimes even holidays are possible too.

Who makes the journey?
You’ll always have to make the journey to a massage clinic or parlour. And another journey away from it after the massage. Contrastingly, an independent masseuse can come to your home or a location of your choice. This has advantages. One is in saving time, money, and energy on your journeys to and from the massage. Another is that you will be able to stay put and relax after the massage. You can just lie there and enjoy feeling like a newborn. You don’t have to gather your strength to travel anywhere. After all, what’s the point in having a massage that’s supposed to relax you if you have sitting in traffic home at the back of your mind even before the massage begins?

Autopilot – or independent massage?
Massage at a clinic or parlour will be immensely automatic because the masseuse has been massaging bodies daily for months or years. But I very much doubt that an independent masseuse will have the same approach. The independent masseuse competes with the clinics and parlours. Thus she will most likely do her utmost to give you a massage like none other. She’ll want you back, and also probably won’t be motivated entirely by money if she operates independently despite the huge competition from clinics and parlours where there can be several masseuses in one place. If the independent masseuse isn’t as much motivated by money, the advantage to you is that she won’t administer the massage in that terribly automatic and rushed manner. She’ll make it as enjoyable for you as possible.

Essential oils
A masseuse at a clinic or parlour will have one or two essential oil blends at hand. An independent masseuse will have a large kit of oils from which she’ll make a fresh blend according to the condition she is to treat – even if the condition is simply to relax and enjoy yourself.

…and the best for last.
If you like to combine a good therapeutic massage with sextras, a masseuse at a clinic or bona fide massage parlour [not brothel in disguise] will definitely not give them to you. That’s because she’ll be scared that you’ll spread the word and the clinic’s reputation – if not her job – will suffer.

But I’m positive that many an independent masseuse will happily oblige, even if for extra money. After all, if you can’t get sextras for free, better get them for more money than not at all if you want them so much. Since the independent masseuse will want you back, she’ll do a lot more than the clinic masseuse to tailor your experience to your utmost satisfaction. But many charge extra for sextras because they’re solo and don’t get the salaries that masseuses in clinics and parlours get. Thus independent masseuses naturally take every opportunity to get more money out of you. That’s a fact of living in the world of today.

Try independent massage
Why would I be writing about this if I hadn’t been an independent masseuse for two decades? Would you like to put the points I listed here to the test? Would you like to experience how real independent massage should be done? Let’s start a conversation.

Reviews used to be good – when people started posting them. And they still can be good – in some industries. But not in that of high end companionship. Hence why should men not waste time with reading reviews of elite companions? And definitely not of me?

Firstly because reviews of high end companions are never credible.
Men who hire high class companions don’t want to review them. This is because if they were to make the reviews authentic, they’d have to sign them – with their names. Which high profiler would do that? High profilers who hire high end companions and courtesans do whatever they can to keep it quiet from the public and media. Publishing a review online would fly in the face of this principle – if the review was credible. And for it to be credible its writer would have to publish it in his name. And who would do that?

Secondly because of anonymity. 
In the world of high end companionship most men and women act under different names. This in itself makes the whole game inauthentic and not credible at all. If anyone can give themself any name and sign a review with it, then where’s the credibility of the review if absolutely anyone, or even a bot could be behind it? Moreover, how do you, the reader of the review, know that someone didn’t write it for payment? There’re companies that employ people to write reviews of products and services which the reviewers know nothing about. There’re people who ask friends and relatives to write reviews on their businesses, like and follow them on social media, and record video reviews. Anything to make their businesses look better online. They know well that hardly anyone will know that the reviews are from their friends or relatives….

Thirdly because reviews commoditize.
While posting a review on a product (already a commodity) would be acceptable – if we ignored what I said in the previous paragraphs, it’s impossible to commoditize experiences with a real high end companion because these experiences are formed by two unique individuals who are irreplaceable and impossible to copy. Every experience is personal to you. And since both of you are irreplaceable and impossible to copy, nobody else can create the experience that you two can. This is why your experience with a high end companion will never be a commodity. Nor will it ever be a service. Service is universal, far less (if at all) intimate, and far less personal than your experience with a high class companion.

How do men find you without reviews?
People often ask how I spread the word about the value I add to men if I don’t allow revives. I say that I leave it to their intuition to guide them. I encourage men to do their research, visit my official site, read what I write, how I operate, observe how I present myself, learn who I am from the articles on this blog, and let their intuition guide them whether I’d be right for them.

And then – talk to me. Conversations bring people closer. And closeness is the most important factor of an experience with a high end companion. I’m limited in how much I can advertise my role as a companion due to its sensitive nature and the stigma that those who still don’t understand its true nature append to it. So the only way is to leave it to men themselves. You, dear reader, should do exactly the same with every woman you’re ever to pay again from now on. It makes sense in a world of false promises, con artistry, and misleading advertising.

And if you need help with fine-tuning your intuition, let’s start a conversation.

One of the most frequent objections I hear is that men don’t have enough money to see their companions courtesans, mistresses, as often as they’d like – or can’t afford pleasures at all. But this is not an insurmountable problem. And here is how to surmount it. 

The key to men having enough money for pleasures is motivation, discipline, and managing money.
If you know how much your companion, courtesan, mistress, or paramour charges and want to see her at all or more often, you can plan for it. Planning = saving. You can save a fixed amount every week. It will add up at the end of the month. And that will motivate you more to continue saving, because you’ll see results.

Or you can save a fixed amount every month. The result will be the same, though the method will be less structured. Saving a sum once a week may seem too structured or constrained for some men whom this article may inspire to try it. Putting aside a lump sum once a month may seem a little more liberal, permissive, lighter on the mind. Of course, good savers will be no strangers to either strategy. They’ll find either strategy easy, because that’s exactly how they afford everything. Hence good savers always have enough money for what they want!

Or another way is to save a fixed amount from every pay. This is a good strategy especially for people who work for wages instead of salary. So the bottom line is that when there’s a will there is always a way.

But this article is for poor savers – men who never have enough money for pleasures.
How often would you ideally like to see a companion, courtesan, mistresses, or have the humble massage? Basic math will help. If you’d ideally like it once a month, do the math and plan saving accordingly. It’s no rocket science. It just needs the right strategy of managing money plus a little discipline and motivation.

And the rewards are worth it.
And not only worth it. Regular pleasures are essential in life. Pleasure keeps us sane, happy, motivated. They keep life interesting, add sparkle to it, remind us what we’re here for, what we work for. If you find a way that works and start saving, you’ll always have enough money for regular pleasures and won’t look cheap in the eyes of your companion, courtesan, mistress, or masseusewhom you now tell that you can’t afford to see her.

After all, wouldn’t it sound cheap to you if someone told you that they couldn’t afford to see you? Wouldn’t you think: ‘OK, so you can’t afford to see me, but you can afford a new car every 3 years, smoking, drinking, and holidays?’ Wouldn’t you think: ‘Heeere we go again! Why do I seem to hear this excuse everywhere?’ Or wouldn’t you think: ‘Well, if you afforded to see me once or several times, you can afford to see me again. Just do what you did when you afforded to see me the last time.’ Or wouldn’t you think: ‘Well, if you can’t afford pleasures in life, you’re sad, and not being able to afford things is just as much of a skill as is being able to afford things?’ How would you feel? Exactly the point!

The best part
is that if you find a way of saving that will allow you to see your favourite courtesan, companion, mistress, or paramour or have regular massages, you’ll train yourself to learn to handle money better in other aspects of life too. How rewarding will that be? What will you be able to afford then?

Men, money, pleasures
Some men are very self-sufficient, others are more motivated by others’ help with saving money for courtesans and other pleasures in life. Are you one of them? Let’s start a conversation.

It might sound far fetched on first hearing. But it’s definitely true – and would make many a woman cringe. Having a companion or mistress is healthy for a man. Here’s why. 

Nature designed men to be promiscuous.
In the world of animals the males of many species impregnate a female, but don’t stay with her for life to raise the young and grow old. The males of some species leave the female immediately after impregnation and never come back. Males of other species openly mate with all the females in their herd. Men and males were put on this planet to further the species. In the world of modern humans this principle translates into several ways. 1. men who choose to stay with one woman all their lives seek variety in affairs with courtesans, paramours, or mistresses. 2. men leave the impregnated woman as soon as she announces pregnancy. 3. men go through several partnerships or marriages in life. Some men do it all: they have wives, girlfriends, lovers, and still even pay for sex.

But this male promiscuity is perfectly natural and healthy for their sex lives.
And women who refuse to accept this fact delude themselves. I don’t need the results of studies to tell me that staying with one sexual partner for life kills the magic of sex. It does, because good sex usually comprises unpredictability – an ingredient that inevitably evaporates over time when we have sex with one person all the time. To keep the magic in any relationship it’s important to have variety and a happy mental environment.

Therefore if a man has a companion, mistress, paramour, or lover while staying with one stable sexual partner, he makes a balancing act. An inevitable compromise that adds to his mental health. And look at the fact that in some cultures a man can have several wives. This is also an expression of this balancing act. Women are wired differently and usually prefer the opposite – one sexual partner for life. Hence women don’t need this balancing act. But men do.

Having a companion or mistress enriches.
Another reason why male promiscuity is healthy is that sex with different women will inevitably be different. This can inspire new practices that the man can take to his stable sexual partner and spice up his sex life with. And this will strengthen the quality and happiness of their relationship. If the man is not happy with something – usually money or sex – in his relationship, he will seek to redress the balance. The balancing act of having both a stable partner and a companion, paramour, lover, or mistress gives him healthy mental environment. And, of course, the countless physical health benefits of sex!

Are you a man who stumbled across this article and now wants a companion or mistress? Let’s talk. 

…and hasn’t been for a long time. Where has high class gone? Why? How does a man looking for a courtesan tell who really is of high class? After all, everyone seems to claim to be…

Sliding standards
The concept of high class in companionship has changed. Firstly, the time when the society was clearly divided into classes in many cultures is gone. Now it’s hard to tell who is from what class. So the times when “high class courtesans” earned 10,000 a night are long gone thanks to the societal shift and also oversaturated market and the cost of living. Now even high profilers don’t pay anywhere near that as the cost of their living rises too, and they can get pleasures for far less.

Secondly, a bad habit of the western culture is to pull out the superlatives too early to make things look bigger and better than they are and create commercial hype. This phenomenon applies to absolutely everything in the western society. Thus it also unfavourably reflects itself on the scene of high class companionship.

High class superlatives
Too many women, sadly most of them exactly not of high class, pull out the superlatives untimely and unjustly. Years ago a handful started describing themselves as upscale, exclusive, elite, high class, high end, premier, executive, and whatever else we see on search engines and in their advertising materials, and the rest followed.

Now these terms are everywhere. Just type a search phrase for a courtesan in your city into Google. You’ll get a sea of these terms on the first page of the search results alone. Since less is more, more is also less. Every woman simply cannot be of high class, elite, upscale, or these terms would not mean anything. But since almost every woman now uses these terms to advertise herself, the terms already don’t mean anything! And our society has run out of words for trumping these terms because they are already superlatives! And so all we can do is pile them high on and on.

High class fees
High class needs public image. And public image sells to the right calibre of client. Hence the only ways a companion, escort, courtesan, mistress, paramour, or even prostitute can differentiate herself is by the quality of her presentation and the price point of her fees. Since the image of everything high class is expensive, exorbitant fees do not make the women who charges them high class.

Words and numbers alone don’t make high class.
But piling superlatives high doesn’t make any woman elite, high class, premier, executive, nor any other of those statuses. It’s all in who she is, what she knows, what and how she does, where she goes. Who se associates with. And none of those women will ever tell that to anyone, because high class likes discretion and breach of discretion would result in a fall out of the high class at cosmic speed. So all that these terms are is commercial hype.

Of course all these women fight for the same type of client – the banker, lawyer, medical professional, entrepreneur, educational professional, politician, or corporate boss. But these women forget that this type of client doesn’t pay attention to their elite, upscale, high end terms anymore, because he has seen so many used badly that he stopped paying attention to them long ago.

If you’re looking for a companion or courtesan for yourself,
the best thing I – as a men’s coach – can advise is that you let your intuition guide you. It’s not the superlatives which will make a woman be of high class. It’s the tacit presentation of herself that will whisper to your intuition in what class a woman is. Her public image will tell you whether she suits the executive. The way of expressing herself will reveal how upscale she is. Her thinking, values, actions, and character will speak volumes. And the words that aren’t said will tell you the most. The whole package = her integrity is where the answer lies for you the searching man.

Good luck with the search. And if you think that it ends here or need guidance, let me know.

In conversations about aromatherapy I often hear the objection that people don’t trust it to cure their conditions more than they trust commercially prepared medications from pharmacies and health or drug stores. One conversation about the potency of aromatherapy with a longtime loyal recipient of my massages inspired me to share why aromatherapy works and always will work. So here it is: 

Millennia of existence prove its effectiveness
The very fact that aromatherapy has been here far longer than commercially made medicines should serve as a strong testimony. If aromatherapy didn’t work, wouldn’t it go extinct through all civilizations to the modern world of science, knowledge, and information? If ancient civilizations in all parts of the world cured their rich and poor with aromatherapy and there was as much sickness in the world then as there is now, shouldn’t this serve as a testimony that aromatherapy works?

Also, if essential oils are extracted directly from plants rather than chemicals engineered by man, shouldn’t essential oils be better for health and our bodies and sufficiently potent to cure our ailments? If aromatherapy didn’t work, would the Egyptians put its products into the graves of their pharaohs? And could the suppliers of aromatherapy compete charging small fortunes for it in today’s world? After all, they have more than enough competition from pharmaceutical companies…

The active ingredients
Let’s look at why aromatherapy works from another perspective. When you buy a commercially made medicine, the active ingredient, which is highly likely also a manmade chemical, is diluted by default. This is because you have to eat the tablet with the powder that shapes and holds the tablet together, plus colourings and preservatives so that the medicines can sustain long shelf life. Likewise you have to swallow the capsule with the material that encapsulates the active ingredient, colourings, and preservatives. The powder that holds the tablet and the material that encapsulates the capsule will dissolve in your stomach with the active ingredient. Hence the active ingredient will be far less potent. This also explains why you have to take a whole course of some medicines before their effect kicks in.

Essential oils don’t have this problem, because a) you don’t digest them. The skin absorbs them into the blood stream. B) they come in glass bottles, thus don’t contain powders, colourings, nor encapsulating materials to hold them. The glass bottles don’t mix with the active ingredients of essential oils. The glass bottles simply contain the oils. And c) the essential oils are the active ingredients themselves. Thus many cannot be used neat on the skin, because they could irritate it. That’s exactly due to their potency! For this reason an aromatherapist will dilute the essential oils to various intensities in carrier oils. And the carrier oils contain minerals which are also wonderful for the skin. The minerals beautifully complement the concentrated essential oils.

The cost of aromatherapy speaks volumes too…
The small fortunes that you’ll pay for essential oils reflect the fact that you’ll get the pure product [unless the oils are adulterated. But I’m not taking this option into account to clearly put my point across here]. And do you know why some essential oils cost so much? Because people can collect the nature’s gifts from which we extract the essential oils only at limited times of day or night or in limited conditions. And exactly this and other factors make them expensive due to the costs of labour.

But in the long term the effectiveness and kindness of aromatherapy to the body and soul will beautifully even out its cost. And the fact that you can also use aromatherapy at home, at work, and even on animals is also a big plus for justifying its cost. It makes life pleasant and happier. And pleasure and happiness are highly sought after. And will be even more so in future. So is it really that expensive in the long term?

Perhaps this article and others about aromatherapy on this site show that I’m a qualified aromatherapist. I beautifully combine aromatherapy with massages exclusively for older executive, corporate, and professional men. Fancy a massage that you’ll get nowhere else? Let’s talk about it. 

Did you find a link to my site in a directory listing? Or better still, did you find my site on a search engine and not in a directory listing? Then I invite you to bear the following in mind: 

The details in a directory listing are not always 100% reliable,
because the construction of each directory site is – inevitably – limiting. Every directory allows an advertiser to put a different [and always limited] amount of information in a listing. 99% of advertisers don’t keep a solid administrative record of where they advertise. That results in them signing up on directories when an invitation to do so lands in their inboxes and then forgetting about their listings. Thus the listing will be visible on the directory, but the information in the listing could be years out of date. Some directories state when the advertiser was last active or logged in. That is a good measure of seeing whether the advertiser looks after her listing on that site. The statistical information that tends to be out of date most often is the advertiser’s age, physical stats, telephone number, email address, and location.

Not all information in directory listings accurately reflects what an advertiser sells
If I want to even create a directory listing, I must fill in at least some of its fields. These fields often portray me as what I’m not. Example: breast size or whether my Mount Pleasant is trimmed, shaven, or natural. How does that information matter if the person sells time, not sex? Yet if I don’t fill these details in, I won’t be able to even create it. And the point of me advertising on directories is to increase my visibility on the worldwide web. Visibility is important, because I can have the best website, concept, mission, vision, and purpose in the world, but it’s useless if no one finds it.

Pictures aren’t everything.
They’re merely the hook. The tip of the iceberg is always the advertiser’s official website. The pictures are the vehicle that connects you to the advertiser’s listing. But if you call the advertiser without reading the info on her official site, you could also be hooking on to a picture that’s years out of date – or fake – owing to what I wrote in the first paragraph. It makes common sense to visit the advertiser’s official site to see whether she’s in business. And if she is, you’ll see her hopefully current pictures and far more info there.

Directory owners often abandon the directories.
Directory sites spring up like mushrooms and are abandoned just as quickly. Webmasters often set them up in hope of getting rich quickly. And when they find out that they aren’t getting rich quickly or are even making losses, they abandon them. But a man who visits the directory doesn’t know that. And if the directory doesn’t have a feature that shows when an advertiser was last logged in, you could be looking at a listing on a directory that no one has administered for years.

Another quirk is that even if an advertiser has a solid administrative record of where she advertises, she may still not know about all the sites on which her ad ends up. This is because webmasters often create mirror and sister sites on which they duplicate ads from the directory on which the advertiser had signed up. Webmasters do this for two reasons: 1. to make signing up on the original directory more attractive to advertisers 2. to expand their potential of making money from the sites. If I don’t know that my ad has been duplicated on other sites, I can’t include those sites in my admin record of where I advertise. Hence I can’t look after those duplicate ads. So you could again be looking at an ad with years old info….

Another immense benefit of knowing where you saw my directory listing
and reading the listing is that you will come across as an informed man who is making an informed decision about the person with whom he is about to share the finer moments in life. After all, you surf directory listings to hopefully buy human connection of which you clearly don’t have enough in life. So if you show a complete stranger – in this case me – that you know what you’re doing, you’ll establish a solid connection. After all, if I called you and told you where I had seen your ad and why I liked it, wouldn’t it feel much better than if I said that I had no clue where I had seen it? Exactly the point! The connection that you are buying starts from you, because you find me.

And as far as any directory listing of mine goes…
For life I’ll have to accept the dilemma that if I advertise on these directories, men who see my listings will inevitably file me in their minds as another one of the women who sell what they do. Not as a person who doesn’t sell what others do and is far from a commodity. There’s no directory that comes even close to suiting the needs of advertisers of my caliber. But if I don’t advertise on the directories, I can have the most interesting and informative website in the world, but nobody will see it. So it won’t matter. C’est la vie….. and another reason why you should always visit an advertiser’s official site. Not all advertisers are commodities, albeit the standaparts are rare. Nonetheless it always pays for you to be informed and make informed choices, especially in today’s world.

Does this article make perfect sense? Are you grateful that you found it? Or perhaps even intrigued by why I’m not a commodity? What else can I offer you that no one else will? Have a look.

Corporate life has taken and will continue to take it out of many a man. Aromatherapy – the application of essential oils and their blends – is an easily available, ecological, kinder to the body than synthetic drugs, immensely effective, and (considering that you need very small amounts) inexpensive solution to keeping a man healthy and productive in the corporate world. If this solution appeals to you, try the tips that resonate with you for the next few months. You’ll certainly feel the difference and may even become an inspiration to your colleagues who eternally swallow pills! 

So how can aromatherapy benefit the corporate man?
Coughs
The best aromatherapy treatment for coughs is inhaling steam, because it will soothe the throat and air passage and loosen excessive mucus. Hence expelling mucus by coughing will become easier. If inhaling steam is not possible, rubbing 2 drops of an essential oil diluted in 10ml of a carrier oil on your throat and chest 3 times a day will pleasantly help. When you are at work, do it in the bathroom where nobody sees. The essential oils of angelica, benzoin, eucalyptus, frankincense, lavender, marjoram, sandalwood, and thyme are great. These oils will also help in burners or diffusers at home, especially at night. Hot lemon drinks and herbal teas will soothe irritation in the throat. A massage of benzoin diluted in 10ml of carrier oil over the throat 3 times a day works great for loss of voice.

Headaches, migraines, head colds
The essential oils of basil, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, and rosemary are great here, because they clear the brain and respiratory infections which can jump on us in [especially open plan] offices and on planes. Inhaling steam, cold compresses, or regular massage also work wonders.

Indigestion
can be dispersed with a light massage of the stomach with 2 drops of basil, camomile, lavender, or marjoram diluted in 10ml of a carrier oil. Choose any one of those oils at a time. Again, at work you can do it in the bathroom where nobody sees. Drinking camomile, fennel, or peppermint herbal infusions will speed up relief. These drinks will also make a far more pleasant form of hydration than coffee or all other sweet drinks. And you will add to your sexappeal!

Make your office smell beautifully
Bergamot, clary sage, cypress, eucalyptus, lavender, litsea cubeba, neroli, and petitgrain are excellent deodorants. Drip 3 – 4 drops of any of these essential oils into a small amount of water or carrier oil in a saucer, small container, oil burner, or diffuser, and put it in a safe place on your desk or in the office.

Repel insects
Drip 3-4 drops of any of the essential oils listed below into a small amount of water or carrier oil in a saucer, small container, or oil burner, and keep it on your desk or in a safe place in the office. Change the whole thing every week. Mosquitoes: cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, lemon, rosemary, sage, thyme. Flies: cedarwood, eucalyptus, geranium, melaleuca, patchouli, peppermint, rosemary. Ticks: cedarwood, geranium, melaleuca, peppermint, thyme.

Sore muscles
Camomile, lavender, marjoram, and rosemary are excellent oils for easing pain of muscles when used in baths or massage. Drip 2 – 3 drops of any of these essential oils into your bath and enjoy the experience. And I needn’t stress the pleasant and immense benefits of regular massages for muscles lashed by the demands of the corporate world! Clary sage and jasmine have a relaxing effect on muscles. And black pepper, juniper, and rosemary will also increase muscle tone, thus performance.

Epidemics
3 drops of clove + 3 drops of orange + 3 drops of cinnamon in a small amount of water or carrier oil = a wonderful blend to put into an oil burner or diffuser and let your office be enveloped in a pleasant scent which will also kill the viruses of epidemics in every season. Eucalyptus and ti-tree are also fantastic protectors against epidemics. Clove and orange are skin irritants, so do not use them in baths. Baths with any of the oils of lavender, rosemary, ti-tree, or thyme will also highly and pleasantly protect you against infections.

Is aromatherapy practical for the corporate man?
Many a corporate man will inevitably argue that carrying blends in 10ml bottles into the corporate environment isn’t practical. Nor is keeping many a thing on desks that should stay at home. But people do it, because they place high value on having those things take up space in their offices. Hence they are happy to sacrifice the impracticalities. Do you place high value on your health – hence productivity – in the ever more demanding corporate world? Then you’ll surely agree that sacrificing the impracticality of carrying a 10ml bottle will be well worth the reward. Plus you’ll always only carry one blend. I’ve named several oils for treating each issue in order to give you plenty of choice and inspiration.
