Resource summary

Massage mediums used
  1. Sesame oil (sesame indicum)
    1. Yellow colour and nutty smell and rich in vitamins and minerals and is a natural sun screen. Used for strengthening and nourishing the skin and scalp. Good for the relief of muscular aches and pains. It stops the hair losing its pigment and turning white.
    2. Olive oil (olive European)
      1. Extracted from the olives when they are hard and unripened. It can be used to replace sesame oil as its properties are similar. It helps with muscular pain and stiffness, increases body heat and is deal on a dehydrated, sore or inflamed skin
      2. Almond oil (prununs)
        1. This is from the sweet almond tree and is warm-pressed to release the oil from the nut. The oil is sweet, slightly thick and sticky in texture. Any irritated, itchy skin would benefit from almond oil treatment. Used in facial massage and manicure treatments too. It warms the body and reduces pain, is soothing and moisturising
        2. Coconut oil
          1. Extraction from the dried flesh of a coconut and is semi-solid until warmed. It retains the distinctive coconut smell. Used in a lot of sun-screen preparations. It is moisturising and balancing, but can also be an irritant
          2. Mustard oil mixed with almond oil
            1. This is hot oil by nature it is good for increasing and warming the body temperature and tissues, so is good for pain relief and stiffness in the joints. Useful in a winter treatment but can irritate sensitive skin because of its heat
            2. Cream
              1. Cream may be preferred by a client who does not like the feel of oil on the skin or who has an oily skin and does not want oil applied. Use a non-allergenic, water-based cream, which is suitable to moisturise a dry or dehydrated skin
