Your massage oil is ready to use

Massage on over-stretched, pulling, strained or sensitive areas (legs, arms, etc.)

before your work-out: as a muscular awakening before your warm-up/stretching session. This massage should not last more than 10 minutes. Apply in quick friction and sliding pressure to warm up your muscles.

Should you choose just a spot treatment, use 1 drop of the essential oil for 4 drops or carrier oil
