Deep Scalp Treatment



Here is a great scalp massage combo for your head and hair. - Rosemary - to awaken the senses - Lavender for a calming effect and Peppermint to give that extra burst of refreshment and tingle. - Tea tree Oil is also a refreshing way to go.  However, do not combine with Peppermint Oil.

Always pick an essential oil which would be good for your hair type
For example, if you have dandruff, use tea-tree or lavender. 
Use peppermint oil or rosemary oil if you are experiencing hair loss. 
If your hair is overly dry, use rose oil or chamomile oil.

Remember For every tablespoon of the oil that you are using (olive oil or almond oil, etc.) only add a maximum of two .drops essential oil

Brush your hair at first, to get rid of flaky parts. If you have long hair, start at the ends of the hair to prevent breakage. Also brush your hair while tilting your head upside-down to improve circulation.


Put a small amount of your oil onto your fingers. Begin massaging in small circular motions near your temples, then move your fingers out over the rest of your scalp. Slowly, add more oil to the tips of your fingers when you need it. (Feels even better when someone else is massaging and your the one relaxing) 

After all your oil is used up, place a warmed towel on your head and leave the oil on for approximately 10 minutes.


Wash out the oil with a good shampoo and conditioner. (If your hair is very dry, you can leave the oil in for a whole night and wash in the morning). While shampooing you might have to wash twice.


Do this regularly, about once a week. Notice the effects as you turn it into a regular routine. This will help your hair grow faster with better scalp circulation.




Please Note: Rosemary Limitations

Even though Rosemary is a fabulous herb, it is still not safe for everyone to take without consideration. The herb should not be used by anyone who is pregnant or suffering from epilepsy without the express permission of their doctor.  Since rosemary is a stimulant and is used sometimes as a herbal heart tonic it should also not be used by heart patients without consulting with their doctors.  
If you have even the possibility of a negative reaction to rosemary be sure you discuss its use with your primary physician before you take it.
