Purchase therapeutic diluted essential oils when possible or
limit number of people purchasing and mixing oils to assure consistency and safety. Keep oils locked in a safe place. Keep oils in dark cool area. Do not purchase more essential oils or carrier oils than you can use in a short period of time. Always dilute essential oils that are applied to the skin. Can do skin patch testing to rule out sensitivity. Get patient, family and/or doctor’s permission for the resident to participate in complementary therapy programs. Set parameters within your agency in regards to which essential oils are allowed for patient use.

Light touch is used in a structured sequence. It is suitable when massage is inappropriate with critically ill, very fragile or when someone is not trained in massage. Light touch works on the skin receptor sites that send signals to the brain, described as “physical hypnotherapy” Light touch is the use of 3 repetitions used to build confidence and reduce anxiety in the receiver. Use of a light pressure of “3”, in a slow, constant and rhythmical manner results in relaxation, reduction in pain and improved comfort.
Gently hold individual’s hand to make your touch known. Place 4-5 drops of an essential oil blend onto the palm of your hand. (about size of a dime) Rub hands together. Apply essential oils to the hand and lower arm of your patient then proceed with an up and down light touch motion from the hand up to the elbow. (Repeat 6x ) Hold hand of patient, palm down. Begin downward strokes, repeat 3 times. Next start with circle touches moving down each metacarpal, starting with pinky finger, then circle touches at the knuckle, continue moving down the finger, using circle touches and light lifting movement as you move down the fingers. Lightly pinch end of finger to ground. Demonstrate.

Variation is that when done with metatarsals, you put your fingers on the top of the foot and your thumbs on the fleshy pad below the toes and alternate horizontal strokes. “Windshield wiper movement” 6x in all. Press lightly on solar plexus of foot for ten seconds. Begin upward light strokes toward the knee in same motion as hand.

Circle: focus on roundness of circle, no larger than a nickel. Slide: moving hand lightly on the body in a flowing movement. Lift: moving skin in an upward motion, creating a slight sense of stretch at the top of the stretch. Caution: pushing skin too much will cause a person to tense and hold their breath. Pressure: 1-3. Tempo: Circle or lift motion delivered in 1,2,or 3 second increments of time. 1 sec= stimulating effect on mind/body; 2 sec = give recipient time to experience and integrate the feeling of TTouch and enhance awareness; 3 sec= very slow 3 sec is deeply relaxing. Mindful pause: holds an intentional connection. Connecting slide: maintaining the pause and then light slight to next area. Breath and body awareness: relates to your ability to be completely centered inside your body and present with the recipient.
Abalone: Very soothing. Helps an anxious individual release tension and encourages deep breathing. Uses the whole palm of the hand. Visualize you whole hand sticking to the skin. You will use your whole hand while moving the mass of skin beneath in a soft circle with just enough pressure so your hand does not slide over the surface, but actually moves the skin. The middle of your hand is considered the center of the circle and does not have to have contact. The fingers and the rest of the hand move the skin around the central point. Using both hands in the Abalone movement on the heart is called the “Heart Hug.”
