massage oils that can be used to help with the above – all from working nights – heavy lifting job, a crazy combination!!
The best oils we have found are at http://www.youngliving.com/stormwind These are the highest quality we can find. Check them out. I love the mix To Be At Peace for relaxation and the Trauma for injuries and pain.
The only essential oil I have right now is sweet orange. What would go well with that and what do I need to do?
You can use only one essential oil if you like.
Many websites advise blending it with Clove, Lavender, or Frankincense.
I would use Lavender as it is a lovely scent and blends well with quite a few other oils if you are planning on slowly growing your stock of essential oils. Clove would make a lovely holiday blend though. I’m not fond of Frankincense so I’d avoid it.
Visit your local health food store and see if they have testers so you can see which oils appeal to you.
When I blend I check what note the oils are: Top, middle, or base.
I usually only use two oils (Lavender and Ylang Ylang are my favorite) but I make sure that they aren’t the same notes so they compliment each other.
I work with cream for my massages. I place about two tablespoons of cream in a dish and add around 3-4 drops of oil. I mix it well and ensure the client is happy with fragrance of the final blend.
Be careful when using essential oils during a pregnancy massage as many aren’t safe. Also some oils can cause a skin reaction or photosensitivity. (Sweet orange doesn’t cause photosensitivity like many citrus oils do.)

My boyfriend and I used this massage oil and I thought I washed it off well but only on my palms so the backs of my got a rash. I have no idea what to do and I can’t exactly tell my parents…so, what should i do?
edit: it was heating massage oil
Use some hydrocortisone cream from the pharmacy or grocery store and tell them that you don’t know what it is from. Also, find out what all is in the oil bc you are probably going to remain allergic to that one ingredient and you need to know what it is. Use this asap so it doesn’t get worse. Also was it heating massage oil, bc it may fade away if the heat just did that tingly thing to the back of your hands.
I have just began a massage course and need information on massage oils. ANd where in australia to buy it if u live hear.
A lot of these people seem to be talking about essential oils. Is that what you wanted or are you talking about carrier oils?
Olive oil, sunflower oil, jojoba oil, almond oil. Or you can get massage gel from massage warehouse.com.
can tell me how to make it in details, thanks in advance!
You need to determine your skin type first because there are different methods and ingredients for different skin. Then you need to decide which oils you want to use, checking that there are none you are allergic to. But if you pm me, I’ve got all the info about that sort of thing and I should be able to help.
I bought some baby oils for my son and after about 3/4 months they started to smell strange. Do massage oils ‘go off’ or not?
Yes. Massage oils can go bad or become rancid.
The length of time that it takes is different with the type of oil.
You may want to consider purchasing your massage oils from a cosmetic supplier – there are tons of them on the net. They usually add one or more preservatives that can extend the shelf life to about a year or so. It just depends. I listed a couple below – HTH
I was just wondering. So I could use it for a little special occasion. I heard Aroma therapy candles are good too. If you have any suggestions please feel free to list them.
Biotone makes a really nice oil/gel that won’t stain its called Advanced Therapy massage gel.
Can anyone recomend a good massage oil that is not to oily like and is not scented or if it has a scent something light and fruity like coconut,strawberry,mango.And that doesnt cost a real lot.
johnsons baby oil is probably the best (and its really cheap too)
For example, what are some massage oils that are safe to go near or inside the vagina without causing any irritation or problems?
How about the KY massage and personal lubricant?
