Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hi Everyone, I had a question posed to me the other day about how long to stay out of the direct sun or off a tanning table if photosensitizing oils were used in a massage. Is there an answer to such a question? Also, if a person has a massage from an acute pain clinic and then they are put into a hot tub, sauna or other high heat place what reactions/adverse reactions should the care givers look out? Does the warnings to the patient, in the above situations, just go back to the ones listed in Martin's book or should some additional warnings be added?

Now remember, they were teaching " Super Safe " and " Super cautious " . I can't answer about the other question, don't remember if I even HAVE that in my book from Martin (as it's not a course book, prolly not). Hope that helps a little.

As I said, they were teaching super safe in England at the time... as it was at a college and not an " Aromatherapy School " I suspect they still are. K Cheers!

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 When I was taking my Atx class, my teacher said one time she spilled some bergamot EO before doing a massage, so she wiped it with her hand and rubbed it on her chest, as to not waste the oil (I know, horrors of horrors - using it neat :-). Well she had a tanning appointment at the end of the day, forgot about using the bergamot, and blistered in the shape of a hand on her chest. I would advocate 12-24 hours before going in the sun.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi everyone. I have been following with interest the discussion about these oils. My question is...has anyone ever heard or used them personally to promote skin pigmentation? Is there any safe way to use them to reverse the loss of skin pigmentation? Or would that be the perfect setting for a real nasty burn regardless of how cautious one would be when exposing to UV light because of the lack of melanocytes in the first place?

The problem with this would be manifold. I've seen some bad burns and when there has been a light sun burn/tan affect it has been very blotchy. There does not seem to be any way to control the density of the coverage. Plus there would be an added disadvantage of messing up the skins texture. You surely have seen the skin of older sun bathing goddesses? The danger of excerbating malignant melanomers would be higher too.
