Healthline has detailed guidelines for which carrier and essential oils to use. In addition, I want to remind you always use a carrier oil (for example, fractionated coconut oil, olive oil) to dilute essential oils.

Which types of essential oils are good for hand massage depends on the issue to be addressed. For example: sore muscles try rosemary, lavender, peppermint.

For relaxation try geranium, chamomile.
