Selecting the Right Oil
• Before starting, ask the person how they are feeling?
–
–
–
–
Are they ill, do they have a headache, or allergies?,
Do they have an upset stomach or pain somewhere?
Are they stressed or agitated?
If not then ask what their favorite oil is.
• Listen, and select a dōTERRA Essential Oil suited their condition.
• If no concerns, use their favorite oil or AromaTouch™
There is no wrong oil!
Between the technique and the oil…any oil selected
will benefit the person in some way.
Relax the Hand - Back
• Relax Wrist – Using your thumbs gently stretch
the back of the hand/wrist several times to
loosen tension. Start in the center of the wrist
and stretch outward using firm but gentle
pressure.
• Dorsal Stretch – Continue down the hand and
stretch the entire hand by cupping the hand with
both of yours – tucking your fingers into the palm
then running your thumbs outwards across the
back of the hand from center to the outer edges;
continue until you reach the edges of the fingers.

Relax the Hand - Palm
• Palmar Stretching – Starting at the wrist
stretch the entire hand open by placing
your fingers on the back of the hand and
then running your thumbs outwards
across the palm of the hand from center
to the outer edges; continue until you
reach the edges of the fingers. Usually 4
or 5 stretches will cover the full hand.

relax the hand.

Massage the Hand Sections
• The hand is divided into 3 sections:
– Section 1 is off to the side and the heal
from the thumb
– Section 2 is the heal and mid section
below the pinky
– Section 3 is from the center of the palm,
out to the sides of the hand and up to all
the edges of the fingers
• Using gentle but firm pressure massage
each section starting with 1 then 2 then 3
to loosen the hand and increase the blood
flow.

Applying the Oil
• The relaxed hand is now ready to receive the oil.
• Place 2 - 3 drops of Essential Oil into the palm.
• Spread oil from the palm outward to the fingers.
– You don’t need to rub it in just gently distribute the oil over the
palm and fingers of the hand.
• Oil should soak in quickly and start to circulate through
out the person’s system.
Working Energy Meridians of the Hand
• With the hand divided into the five energy
meridians start with meridian 1 and work from
the central wrist point outward to the very end of
the thumb.
• The process used is called a ‘thumb crawl’ and is
done by placing each thumb – left then right then
left . . . Over each other to ‘crawl from the wrist
out to the end of each finger.
• When you get past the hand and onto each finger,
use your fingers to support the persons finger
applying pressure on both the upper and under
portion of each finger thus stimulating both
sides.
• Do the full hand then start again as needed.
• Perform this 1 – 2 – 3 times is necessary to
balance the persons energy.

Final Stretches
•
Inter-phalangeal Stretch
– With the your thumb on once side and your finger on the
other side of the hand, place your thumb and forefinger
in-between the pinky and ring-finger of the person.
– Reach in past the knuckle point of the hand as far down
to the wrist as you can reach. You will feel the soft
tissue between the bones of the hand. You know when to
stop when you reach the connective bones near the
wrist.
– Appling gentle but firm pressure squeeze your thumb
and finger together and pull outward towards the
fingers.
– Repeat this step in-between each of the fingers of the
hand as shown.
•
Finger Pulls
– Gentle pull each finger from the base to the tip as you
rub it between your thumb an forefinger.
Finishing the Process
• Check back with the person and see if they recognize any
changes.
– It can be one of the items they noted as a problem before
starting the technique or something completely different.
• Ask them to be mindful of anything they feel over the next
few hours or even days and share that with you.
• You should also note anything you observe – changes to
coloring or mood.
– Watch for body language as it may say more than their words.
