 What Are The Most Popular Massage Carrier Oils?

Carrier oils, which can be combined with essential oils for application in an aromatherapy massage, are typically nut or plant-based. Jojoba oil is one of the most commonly used massage oils, as it is easily absorbed by pores and does not irritate the skin. Avocado oil is often used to soothe dry or damaged skin, making it a great choice for massage recipients who have chronic skin conditions, such as eczema. Almond oil is light and allows hands to glide over the skin without frequent reapplications. For those who may be allergic to nut oils, grapeseed oil is an ideal alternative. Before using any carrier oils on the recipient, verify if he or she has any known allergies or preferences. For example, if he or she has to return to work after the massage, using a lighter oil that is easily absorbed is an ideal option.

What Supplies Are Required For A Hot Stone Massage?

Stones, a warmer, and oils are the basic hot stone massage supplies. Basalt stones are large, flat stones that are used on the back, legs, shoulders, and arms. There are also facial and foot stones that are smaller and can be placed on the cheeks, forehead, and soles of the feet. Shaped stones are an optional massage tool. They typically have a rounded or pointy edge that can be used to alleviate tight muscles. A stone warmer and massage oils are also required. The warmer is usually filled with water that heats to a specific temperature, and the stones absorb the heat from the water. The therapist then places the stones on the affected area or uses them to massage the recipient.
