LMTs ONLY – What is the best oil to use for hot stone massage therapy?
It should be something that
- washes out of my massage sheets well
- doesn’t have almond oil, since I’m sensitive to the smell of almonds… it gives me a headache
- it shouldn’t go rancid quickly
If you have a personal blend that you’ve used for hot stone therapy that I can mix myself, that’d be great. Otherwise, if you can recommend a commercially-prepared oil (I love Biotone’s stuff, for instance – do they make an oil that you’d use for hot stones?), I’d love to hear about it.
ALSO… any tips for cleaning & sanitizing your stones when you’re done?
Generally mineral oil is used for the base with Essential oils. It’s your choice. You can use vege oils as a massage oil. Some of them do have antioxidants in them that do benefit the skin. Olive oil is probably the best for skin care that doesn’t have any allergens. It should have a generous shelf life if you store it in a cool dark place. Massage therapists mostly use mineral oil because its the cheapest to use in bulk, its odorless and it has a longer shelf life.
As far as stone care be careful not to use any detergents on them. They act as a corosive to the surface of the stone. If its just for your personal use you usually don’t have to wash them down. Just dry them thoroughly. If you do use them for clients or strangers spray them down with alcohol to clean them.
