Ahhh… imagine yourself lying on the massage table, enjoying the soothing movements of the masseuse’s hands, the scent and the healing effects of the massage oil penetrating your skin. That’s what a massage feels like. Regardless of whether you get your massage in a spa or at home, a massage really feels fantastic. If you want to have regular massages at home, you can also make your own massage oil. There are plenty of essential and carrier oils for you to choose from. You can mix and match to suit whatever mood you want to be in. When making your own massage oils, you also need the proper container for massage oil.
Having the right container for massage oil will mean that your personalized oils will last longer, as it decreases the oils’ tendencies to become stale with time. The essential and basic oils (as well as the container for the massage oil) can be bought at health stores, as well as massage therapy store.
A container for massage oil will also keep the quality of the oil, ensuring that the oil it contains stays clean. With a container where you can securely seal and prevent leaks, you can now bring your very own massage oil anywhere you go. This way, you can enjoy your very own scent and healing properties that you need. Some oils have a moisturizing effect on the skin. Still other oils can rid your skin of dryness and rashes. Also, some oils can cool and relieve one of swelling and pain.
Now, how do you create your oils? First, read up on the properties of the different oils. Find out how they work on the skin. Then, test the oils – smell it and place a few drops on the back of your hand to measure how well or how badly your skin will react with the oil. After you have selected your oils, place the carrier oil of your choice inside the container for massage oil.
Add a few drops of your selected essential oil and then shake the bottle or container gently. Remember, it is important to use carrier oils sparingly. For one, if you use the concentrated form, you may risk skin rashes. Another thing, essential oils are generally more expensive than carrier oils. In addition, the carrier oils will effectively administer the healing and soothing effects of the essential oils. To save up on the cost of your massage oils, you can also try to buy the oils by the bulk and then just keep this inside a container that is specifically for massage oils.
Also, once you have the correct mix that you desire, you can also make a holster for your container for massage oil. This will help keep the massage oil bottle handy and close at hand when you are doing a massage. You can tailor the holster to fit your massage oil bottles, creating the perfect fit so that you can wear it on your waist, where you can easily reach for it. Using some fabric, make the housing for your bottle and then make the belt. And voila! You have a bottle for your massage oil and a holster to go with it. Happy massaging!
