organic vegetable oils - IHM

[HatOnenue]

Where do you buy your organic vegetable oils for IHM. On the course it was suggested one uses Almond oil, coconut oil, mustard oil, seasame oil, olive oil. Do you buy from a health food store or are you better buying them on line and if so any links to www addresses would be helpful.

Also does anyone use other oils to those mentioned above.

Thanks
Jane

I've found that client's prefer that I don't use oils so havn't used them since doing my training. So sorry can't really suggest anywhere to get them apart from having a look through previous posts via search on Healthypages or google. Have you tried doing IHM without oils Jane ?

Hi Ap again

I would buy them (food grade oils which work well for massage) from a health food shop for several reasons: quality, price, glass bottles (plastic isn't a good medium due to chemicals in the plastic go into the oil). My favourite is Biona raw virgin coconut oil. Good for many types of massage, good shelf life, and ideal for this time of year as people have hot dry skin and hair.

Hi Cis

I am newly trained in IHM and looking for "people" to practice on. At the moment its a friend and my partner. I haven't used oils (only in training) but was just wondering where to buy oils, etc in case clients want me to use them.

Best wishes
