Choosing an Essential Oil
The AromaTouch Hand Technique is a quick, convenient “AromaTouch Technique On-the-Go.” It allows you to choose any essential oil for the experience. Citrus Bliss® or Wild Orange are perfect for midday pick-me-ups. Lavender or doTERRA Serenity® create special one-on-one time with your kids before bed. Blending Spearmint and doTERRA Balance® can create a relaxed environment at work. The sky’s the limit!
Movements of the Hand Technique
While the AromaTouch Technique is the go-to for almost every circumstance, it takes up to an hour to perform and requires a calm, private environment.
That’s why the AromaTouch Hand Technique is so valuable. It’s simple enough for anyone to perform and only takes a few minutes. Plus, it can be given almost anywhere: a plane, the workplace, a park bench, the café, at home—you name it! The simple movements in this technique deliver powerful feelings of wellness.
Oil Introduction
Apply a light, even coating of your selected oil to the entire palm of the recipient’s hand (about one to three drops)
Dorsum Tissue Stretch
- Use both hands to grip one of the recipient’s hands on either side with the dorsum (back) of the hand facing upward and your thumbs on top.
- Use your thumbs to stretch the tissue of the hand moving from the inside out, and from the wrist to the base of the fingers.
Regional Tissue Pull
- Grip the recipient’s hand (palm facing up) with one hand on either side and your thumbs on top. Use your thumbs to methodically work through all three regions, beginning in Region 1, with medium pressure.
- Make sure to work the entire surface area of each of the hand’s regions
Pinpoint Zone Activation
- Use your thumbs† to work through each of the hand’s five zones. Beginning in Zone 1, place your thumbs at the top of the recipient’s hand close to the wrist and alternately work thumbs down the entire length of Zone 1 to the tip of the finger. Repeat the procedure for all five zones, three times each zone.
†Choose a lead thumb and a follow thumb for this step. Make sure the follow thumb is always behind the lead thumb
Interphalangeal Pull
- With the recipient’s palm facing up, grip the wrist in one hand.
- Use your other hand to stretch the tissue located between each finger away from the hand by gripping and sliding the tissue between your thumb and forefinger.
- Repeat the pull three times between each finger before moving on.
