What should clients avoid after their treatment to enhance oil absorption?

The choice to avoid heat treatments after a massage or aromatherapy session is important for enhancing oil absorption. When clients avoid heat, such as hot baths, saunas, or steam treatments, they help ensure that the oils used during the treatment remain on the skin and are not rapidly absorbed due to increased blood circulation or sweating promoted by heat.

After treatment, the primary goal is to allow the essential oils enough time to penetrate the skin and provide their therapeutic benefits. Heat treatments can accelerate metabolism and perspiration, which could potentially decrease the effectiveness of the oils applied during the session.

On the other hand, maintaining proper hydration is essential as it aids overall wellness and can support the benefits of essential oils. Relaxation following a treatment helps in the absorption and effectiveness of the oils as well, and light meals are generally recommended to avoid any discomfort while ensuring the body gets necessary nutrients. However, these practices do not compete with the priority of avoiding heat treatments in relation to oil absorption.
