Oil Massage how do you get Massage Oil out of clothes?
My daughter is a beauty therapist, she has almond massage oil stains on her white uniform, any ideas how to get the stains out? I’ve tried Vanish, and it didn’t work, anyone have any ideas??
The trick is to use a hot wash with a good detergent to remove the oil. If you use a cold wash the oil may remain in the fibres.

Carrier Oil
What are the best non-comedogenic carrier oils?
What are the best non-comedogenic carrier oils?
I have use jojoba oil in the past and it doesn’t work well under makeup.
Are all oils bad under makeup also?
I was going to suggest jojoba oil, that is the only one I know of that is for sure non-comedogenic. Any time you use an oil under your makeup it won’t last as long.
I recently bought some Flavored Massage oil, but it turned out to be more sticky than smooth. It was a mess, completely ruined the moment. Looking for something that makes it easy to rub without the sticky feeling. Any suggestions?
I am a massage therapist, personally I hate using oil I only use a special Massage Cream. But…if you really want the best then I would recommend you going to massagewarehouse.com. Plenty of oils to choose from, Biotone and Soothing FX are the best brands in my opinion. And it is not very expensive either. Store brands, esp flavored and scented will get sticky and dry up very quickly….trust me on this one go to the website!! Hope this helps!

How do you make cooking oil into massage oil?
Somebody said to heat it up.
I want it to be lighter.
Canola cooking oil is quite light in texture and does not need to be heated. The best massage oil I have found is to use Neutrgena Sesame oil (called Body Oil) Olive oil is way too thick and heating will not help. Other cooking oils will leave the person smelling like cooking oil. Canola is a fine cooking oil and can be enhanced by adding dried rose petals to the oil and allowing the oil to age for a few weeks. I have used this mixture for a long time and everyone loves how it makes them feel. The rose petals remove the cooking oil smell and lighten the oil.
Aroma Therapy Is it okay to wash your face with an aroma therapy shower gel?
What can I wash my face with that’s cheaper than a cleanser?
Shower gel could really dry out your face, and fragrances tend to be irritants, using it could cause your face to be red and blotchy, i wouldn’t recommend using it.
Aroma Therapy
Do you believe in natural healing alternatives like aroma therapy, herbal teas and meditation?
Do you think they can have real health benifits?
No.
I think seeing an alternative practitioner, and getting the time and undivided attention you pay for and the opportunity to talk about yourself and your problem(s) can make you feel more relaxed, and happy that someone is taking you seriously, and all that makes you feel better.
Similarly treating yourself to aromatherapy baths etc makes you feel more relaxed and less stressed. So does meditation.
And for very minor ailments, sometimes teas and other natural ‘treatments’ can make you feel better, and are in any case harmless
But I’m strongly against advocating alternative ‘healing’ for genuine illnesses. In this context alternative is another word for unproven. If any alternative medicine had been proven to work, it would no longer be alternative medicine, it would just be medicine.
I use the YA Cancer forum a lot, and every day people with no experience or knowledge of cancer post advising terrified, desperate and highly vulnerable people to abandon conventional treatment and go with untested, unproven, ineffective and sometimes dangerous alternatives.
People who fear for their lives are advised to rely on herbs, juices, water (!), apricot kernels, shark cartilage, cottage cheese, restrictive diets, teas, vitamin C. hydrogen peroxide, electrical devices, mistletoe and other hocus pocus.
I am deeply concerned that there are people who might decide to abandon treatment that would give them a chance of cure or remission and invest money, hope and – most dangerous of all – time on these ineffective ‘treatments’.
I was actually something of an alternatives enthusiast myself until I got cancer and did an enormous amount of research into possible alternatives and discovered the ruthless charlatanism of the muti-million pound ‘alternative cancer industry’ and that anyone with any understanding of the biology of cancer couldn’t possibly believe in such rubbish.
Ylang Ylang in using ylang ylang and lavender,both are essential oil, as spray?
how many drops is needed in what amount of water
You should use no more than 1.5% concentration, which means a total of no more than 10 drops in 30ml or 1floz of water.
Oil and water don’t mix, so you will have to shake it well before each spray, or use a dispersant. You can buy dispersants or solubilisers, or you can use alcohol – vodka is usually recommended as it doesn’t have a strong smell. Just mix your drops of oil (I would suggest 2 ylang ylang and 8 lavender, as ylang ylang is a really strong scent) into a small amount of vodka, then top up the botte wih water and shake well.
And DO NOT spray near your eyes!
Ylang Ylang
Does anyone know if neroli, ylang ylang, palmarosa, lavendar,or bergamont can remove ingrown hairs?
I have those oils that i have written above and i was wondering what they could do for ingrown hairs/ bumps??!
Thanks..I
Not sure about these oils in particular, but I recommend using an ingrown hair treatment like Priva Shave, Tend Skin, Kalo IHT or Skin Doctors Ingrow Go.
There are also special pointed tweezers for ingrown hair removal.
If you have very sensitive skin and has difficulty shaving everyday then he should try Ultra Shave. I use it as a Skin Healing moisturiser straight after shaving. It contains grape seed extract that is 15000 times stronger than vitamin E. Its completely natural and is also Parabenz free.
I’m not too well versed with massage oils or lotions and this valentines day I have the woman of my dreams so I’m thinking about getting some. I usually do dry massages and she seems to like it..
Question is, what works best for a relaxing/erotic massage? Ones that are flavored? Ones that are heavily scented? Ones that are edible? Any particular ones work better?
If you have experience with ones you love! Can you try and Amazon.com link me or show me a site where I can get it?
Thanks!
lavender oil would be my choice. good luck.
Edible Massage
My gf got this Liquid LoveWarming Massage Lotion (green apple flavor), it doesn’t say it on it, is it edible?
Unless it says so, don’t do it in excess. A little bit shouldn’t hurt.
Aromatherapy Massage Can anyone suggest some good books to help with aromatherapy massage?
I am starting college in September and will be doing a course in aromatherapy massage. Could anyone suggest some good overall books that I could buy to help me? Or suggestions on what I could buy to help me with the course.
Thanks
Here are links to the ones I own: (I am studying aromatherapy massage myself but it’s just a 10 week taster course; which can lead on to the diploma)
Both are very very good. The second one concentrates on the uses of the oils and how to treat various ailments, it doesn’t go into detail about massage technique.
And here is a list someone created of good aromatherapy books for students of any level
I hope you enjoy your course, which qualification is it? I’m thinking of doing the VTCT Diploma.
Also lot’s of websites do student aromatherapy starter sets, it would be worth speaking to your tutor beforehand and finding out which oils you will be covering so you know which to buy. They only last around 6 months once you open them so it’s best not to go overboard; the tutor should have all the oils there to use if you haven’t got them all. Woods and simply supplements are good.
Also buy some small bowls and baby wipes to use on the course. Have fun, if you’re anything like me you’ll really enjoy it!
Feel free to email me if you want to ask me anything else.

How would you treat a new client using aromatherapy and massage?
The client uses oils at home but they tend to be irritating to her skin. She may also be pregnant.
On advising the client of the contraindications she has since carried out a test and is not pregnant.
Any suggestions as to how i would compose a consultation and treatment plan for her.??
Never, EVER use any Essential Oils (EO) on pregnant women, not even the so-called “safe” ones like lavender etc. and warn your client against their use at home and until the child is 6 or 7 years old.
Sorry, but that’s the way it is.
The long-term effects of EO’s has not yet been fully researched. EO’s are extremely powerful and act on the hormone system and the nerve system. Some are clearly neurotoxic and abortive, but even the “safe” ones can have long-term adverse effects on the baby.
What is difficult to understand for most people is that when a person develops MS or another neurological disease at the age of 20 or 30, no one thinks of asking if the mother used EO’s during the pregnancy or around the baby/child. No one would ever think of linking the two – and yet … new research is pointing that way, therefore we must exercise all caution until we are sure.
Keep off EO around children (not even burned in a room in the same house) until the age of 6 or 7 when the hormone and nerve systems are better developed and can no longer be damaged.
EO’s are very powerful. Cats are very sensitive to them and can die of exposure to some EO’s.
EO’s in the same room as homeopathic remedies contaminate them and destroy their effect. They are so volatile that they penetrate inside the tube of homeopathics and you might as well throw away the contaminated remedies as they become unsafe.
It’s good that this particular client developed a skin irritation to EO’s. She may well be saving her baby from neurological damage before it’s even born.
You will become one of the best-liked and most successful aromatherapists if you warn pregnant women and women with babies and young children and are able to explain the dangers to them.
He is very old. He has lost most of his teeth, so I feed him soft high-flavor food.
He is completely blind (that is the hardest part) and he is completely deaf.
He likes to be petted, and I put scents around the house (like orange oil and peppermint) and he likes that.
He sticks close to me. I keep the house really warm because he has bad arthritis.
I wondered of there was a special way to massage a really old dog, or if someone else had some ideas on how to entertain him once in a while.
If you got a very.. docile puppy. That would maybe help. Old dogs sometimes like a puppy to teach things to. Then again, you know your dog the best and perhaps that would be worse for him. Sometimes dogs dont like puppies at all. I think that what you are doing for him probably helps a lot. I know that there are treats you can buy called Ol’ Roy Smart Bites. Those have glucosamine in them which would definitely help his old joints. We feed them to one of our dogs with hip and back problems and they work. Also if you have baby asprin you can give him half or even a whole one depending on if he seems to be in mild pain or a bit more. That is, if he’s in pain at all. We have given our little dog a whole one so if he’s bigger a whole one definitely wont hurt him. (the dog we gave it to is jack russel sized to give you an idea of what I mean by small, that way you know if he’s bigger than that it’s perfectly fine for him)
ok i feel so silly asking this. but hey, they say no question is a stupid question.
so i got some flavored massage oils from a girlfriend of mine a while back and never got to use them. i found them and thought that it would be fun to use them with my now boyfriend.
i get the idea of using them as a massage. what are some other fun ways to use them? please share.
thnx.
from a gal that would like to give her man a little fun…and herself ::smile::
massage oils are made for massage. don’t use them as lubrication and don’t apply them to your genitals unless you WANT an infection. rub them on your breasts then coax your men to lick it off, massage him back while straddling him… etc etc
My mother’s birthday is coming up, and I wanted to get her some sort of therapeutic relaxer because she tends to be pretty high strung and stressed out and that’s been messing with her head and health. She doesn’t believe in pain medications, so i was thinking of an ionic bracelet, but do they really work?
deep breathing. And do something u like doing when your worried. For body aches…. relax.

Is it safe for pregnant woman to be in hot tubs?
We have a therapeutic hot tub and my bodies craving a hot hot bath. Someone told me that pregnant women can’t sulk in hot water cause of bacteria. Is that true or false?
Do not get in if the temp is over 102. Then only stay in for 10 mins or so. If you let your body temp raise too high it could be catastrophic to the baby.

Massage Oils Where can I find massage oils/lotions for men?
I am looking for a great Massage Oil for my boyfriend. He doesn’t like the flowerly smelling ones. Maybe almond or jojoba oil. Something manly. Thanks!
Jojoba oil may be your best bet, if you are going to stay with an oil. The nut oils can be a little funky once you start working them in and they begin to warm up. You may want to consider an unscented massage creme like what Biotone has to offer http://www.biotone.com. There are probably some retail outlets that carry it around your area as well. The massage creme is the only product I have used professionally for about 13 years, and there have been numerous positive comments about how it feels during and after the session. If used in excess, it acts like an oil. If use sparingly, it acts more like a lotion. With oils, you typically have the tacky residue left on the skin. With straight lotions, it usually either absorbs or evaporates too quickly if you work with it for more than a few minutes; then you are left with sloughing the skin while you are trying to massage. If you are looking for scented options, you can use some inexpensive Essential Oils that have citrus (tangerine/orange), mint (spearmint, peppermint) and/or wood (pine/cedar) smells. You can add a few drops to your oil/creme as well. Best Wishes…

How does one warm massage oils?
Hey,
I want to give my girlfriend a treat. I want to give her a massage with aromatherapy oils. I have heard that there are oils that are already warm to the touch, but I’m kinda old fashioned. Is there a way to warm massage oils like with a candle or a candle burner? How does one go about warming oils? What is the correct way to do this? Or should I just stick to the already warm to the touch oils?
Simply boil some water, put the boiled water in a bowl, and then place the bottle of massgae oil in the water in the bowl for a few minutes – remember to test the heat of the massage oil prior to applying
