books - creating massage products, handling oils correctly

[Guest guest]

Hola,

 

I got more than I bargained for in my question about unrefined almond

oil. So there are two topics I'm interested in... maybe there's one

book that covers them all or maybe not.

 

The first is creating massage lubricants. Creams, lotions, oils. An

overview, rather than me mixing this and that blindly and reinventing

the wheel.

 

The second is dealing with oils. Jane mentioned when decanting oils

into new containers, and how dry they have to be, etc, to avoid

contamination. Maybe somebody's already compiled data about shelf

life of various oils stored in various conditions even.

 

I'm sure there's a lot to say on both topics. As fun as we might have

with me asking question after question, it'd sure be quicker to have

some books around.

 

Any recommendations?

There are three books I know of that address vegetable oils as opposed to

essential oils ... Len Price's " Carrier Oils for Aromatherapy & Massage " , Liz

Earle's " Vital Oils " and Jan Kusmirek's " Liquid Sunshine " . I think I read in

Butch's comments on Vitex something along the lines of 'regurgitated wisdom' -

but I'm sure I've quoted him wrong .... As with so much in our line of work,

there is no science or scientific research. A lot of people are re-writing

everyone else's books and articles! Go by personal experience and preference.

That's all we can do. Jane

Cool, thanks.

 

Well I assume that many of the handling procedures for essential oils

(e.g. dryness, cleanliness) would be the same. But thanks for these

suggestions. Time to go book shoppin' I guess.

 

Anyone have any other suggestions, especially re creating lubricant blends?
