Q: Why do we choose to place oils on the spine?
A: Along the spine we have a higher concentration of neurological and arterial activity. This concentrated activity creates greater blood flow and absorption capabilities, which allow for greater distribution and heightened function of the essential oils. Gently massaging or using heat when applying essential oils on the spine is a great way to take advantage of the sensitivity of the neurological structures and cellular functions of the body and can enhance the absorption of essential oils topically.
