Have you tried using Fractionated Coconut Oil as a massage oil, all by itself? it's got just the right balance of " drag " and " slip " (important technical terms as for how much EO per fl ounce... the maximum amount would be 15 drops per ounce, but actually if the oil is going to be used for full body massage, that's a bit heavy on the EO... The professionals I know prefer to use about 8 to 10 drops of eo to one ounce of carrier. you can almost guesstimate that one ounce of carrier is 'about right' for one fullbody massage... and since 8 to10 drops of EO or synergy is the 'recommended therapeutic dose' then 8 to 10 drops per massage is just right. If you are making, say, a pain relief blend, that will be used for 'spot massage' you can double that... go with about 15 to 18 drops per ounce if it's going to be applied just to 'the place that hurts' hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 Hi , My favorite massage oil is a mix of fractionated coconut oil and jojoba oil. I use the following measures: 2 parts fractionated coconut oil 1/2 part jojoba oil (wax) Fractionated oils are made by separating the triglyceride groups. The three resulting groups are measured by molecular composition. The lightest chain (C-6/C-8) comprise the fraction I like to use in my massage oils. This fraction is very light and sinks directly into the skin. It is wonderful for folks with normal-oily skin, as well as for those with dry or mature skin. As added bennies, it is crystal clear, unscented, very stable and unless subjected to extremely cold temps, never loses its viscosity (never becomes solid like regular coconut oil does). Jojoba oil is also very stable, and is the closest oil/wax to normal skin's sebum. Based upon you need for one ounce of product, you would need .8 oz. of fractionated coconut oil and .2 oz. of jojoba oil. If you have it, a few drops of rose otto and blue chamomile would make excellent choices to scent a massage oil.

What are your >favorite blends of both carrier oils and also EO's. favorite carrier oil for massage, by FAR, is Fractionated coconut oil. lighttexture, just the right amount of 'slip', doesn't stain linens. as to what blend of eo's to use that is determined by the purpose of massage... stress relief? relaxation? sore muscles? sensual? depends on the intent.

Thanks for your help blend together 2 parts Lavandin EO, 2 parts Eucalyptus smithii, and 1 part Gingerroot CO2... use 15-18 drops of this blend per one ounce of carrier oil...can NOT be beat for sore overworked muscles. Unlike some other recommendations, it's not stimulating and won't keep you awake at night, so it's the ideal blend for bedtime when you are sore and aching.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 Would this blend be good for bath salts. Not all of us are so lucky to have a someone around to give us a good massage so a soak in the tub will have to do.

Thank you in advance. V the " recipe " really depends on what you want the massage oil to accomplish. is it for sore muscles? is it just a relax/destress blend? is it for 'sensuous massage' is it to put someone to sleep? there is NO 'one size fits all " recipe.... I'd suggest you look at Fractionated Coconut oil as the base/carrier tho. It's reasonably priced, a good balance of 'slip' and absorption, and, most important, washes out of sheets, towels, etc. Your source for superb Essential Oils, Aromatherapy Accessories, Information, Books and more!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 just wondering why on EARTH you would want to add color to a massage oil...have you thought this one thru? one of the problems professional massage therapists have is washing the massage oil out of the towels and linens they use... adding color would make that even MORE of a problem! it honestly makes no sense... >OK, many of you helped me with the lip balm colorant question and now >I am in a quandry as to which type of colorant to use for massage >oil!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 who has a recipe for massage oil without colorants? i have one but im looking for others! Never add colorants to massage oils~you want it to be clear or as close to clear as you can get. Colors would only show up on the person's body~etc; ! Personally I would be very angry if someone did that to me!!!!! Misty http://community.webtv.net/mpw98/ForeverYoursATouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Pam I believe the " coconut oil " in that recipe is actually fractionated coconut oil and not the solid coconut oil used in soaps. Fractionated coconut oil is liquid at room temperature. Makes a fine massage oil as does the other ingredients in that recipe. hth Sherry Sherry's Creations http://www.herbalsoap-healingcreams.com/ Natural Care E-books & Spreadsheets for Beginners to Intermediates. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Sherry I've not tried the massage oil but have tried other formulas in this book and they've been wonderful. It doesn't say anything else about the coconut oil except what I wrote so I can't be sure which they used. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Heavenly Baby Massage Oil 4 ounces of oil (olive, almond, apricot, or sunflower) 5 drops lavender essential oil 5 drops orange essential oil Pour your ingredients right into the bottle your going to use to dispense the massage oils. Just give a good shake to blend the oils and you're all set. If you want a truly heavenly oil use rose essential oil in place of lavender and orange.
