Massage Oils have been regarded as the massage practitioner’s strongest friend. They help him/her provide a stress-melting touch for clients, and promote a release of anxiety, stress and tension.

When a massage therapist chooses the type of massage oil that they will use on a daily basis, it is done with much care.

They not only consider the ingredients in the oil (vitamins, minerals, etc.), but the oil will help the client in the healing process.

Of course, they must consider price, as well as how it warms as it is applied to the skin.

Natural, pure massage oils are chemical-free and cold-pressed. They provide the smoothest glide possible.

The most popular types of oil used for massage and their benefits are:
Almond

Almond oil is perfect for dry skin. It is very light when applied and contains Vitamins A, B1, B6, and E.
Arnica

This oil is typically a cold-pressed olive oil with arnica extract. It is anti-inflammatory and great for bruises, irritation and sore, inflamed muscles.
Jojoba

Jojoba (pronounced ho-HO-ba) is an extract of the seed of the jojoba tree (Simmondsia chinenis). It is a pure, cold-pressed oil that is rich in Vitamin E, resembling the body’s own natural oil. The best thing about this oil is that it won’t become rancid and start to smell in your massage room.

The negative is that it can be expensive for the pure, organic oil. Just remember, with this oil a little goes a long way.
Grapeseed

This is a natural, light, massage oil. It absorbs easily into skin and nourishes skin with many nutrients. It is also an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-histamine, and anti-aging oil. It is great to help treat arthritis, dermatitis, acne, dry skin, and sun burns.

It is very economical, but the residue can become rancid on table linens and on the shelf.

Making the most of your massage oil

Adding essential oils to a pure massage oil is another option for many therapists.

A massage oil recipe will often include drops of essential oils to treat specific ailments such as fatigue, stress, anxiety and pain. Often, only a few drops of essential oil is required for each recipe.

A massage oil warmer is another necessity for a massage practitioner. It can heat the oil to provide instant relaxation and stress relief for the client.

When you combine the soothing touch of a massage therapist, the aromatic scent of the essential oils, the warmth of a properly heated lubricant, slow massage music and the best massage oil for your client, you’ve set the stage for true relaxation and rest.
