WARMING PROPERTIES
Essential oils that are warming in nature can be extremely
useful for the body. For example, an essential oil with warming
properties can be used during your warm up by giving muscles
and limbs a loose, flexible feeling. Using warming essential oils
when preparing to exercise can help you feel more limber and
ready for your workout.
COOLING PROPERTIES
Essential oils with cooling properties can be useful during your
cool down or at the end of a workout. By providing a cooling
sensation, these types of essential oils will help soothe the
body after strenuous physical activity.
Both warming and cooling essential
oils can be useful for recovery and rest
between workouts because they can
soothe and relax. Whether you use
warming essential oils for a relaxing
massage or cooling oils to put yourself
at ease in the locker room, these oils
can be an invaluable part of getting
your body to rest and relax between
workouts.
