What medium do you use ?

[omarymore]

Hi all,

I had been using talc and decided to stop because of the health risks ! I then moved to corn flour ~ but it's so messy !! Even worse than the talc. Not keen on creams/oils because I like to grip the feet and get a good feel of the reflexes ~ find oils/creams make the feet too slippy.

So I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with "Tui Reflexology wax" How do you rate it ? Thought I might buy a small tub to try it out, but would also like to hear your opinions.

Thanks

Hi There!

I too trained with Talc...what a mess I used to make, no matter how careful I was and soooo drying on the hands[]Corn starch for me is still quite a dry medium.

That was 10 years ago, I couldn't wait to find something else once I qualified. I have used ART (Tony Porter) cream since,you need so little of it,it is not too greasy, and can certainlydoes not seem to hinder accessing the indicators on the feet. Another one I do use from time to time is the Tui wax - it goes a long way and smells wonderful - can be a bit slippy if youuse too much, great for massage section.

I do offer clients a choice just in case they have an allergy or sensitivity to any of the active ingredients. The ART cream has just been reformulated and the parabens removed .

I get my supplies of both from Oxford Therapy Supplies - sorry no number but they do mail order to you.

Good luck in your search.

Hi

I have used Tui for a lot of difference reasons and their waxes are fab, plus because of the ingredients you can feel confident with them.

I also use Neways Baby Powder as it does not contain any harmful ingredients such as 'talc'. Let me know if you would like to try some and I can send some to you.

This is a caption from the information sheet.....
chosen to use tapioca starch as a base for the powder as a safer alternative to talc. Tapioca, aloe vera, vitamin E and chitosan make our baby powder a safe, hygienic and great product suitable for even the most sensitive skin.Manihot utilissima(tapioca) starch, chitosan, aloe barbadensis leaf, tocopheryl succinate(vitaminE).


or there is also PuriSorb which is a similar product

If you would like to send me an email with your details and I will email all the prices back to you and any other information you need to know.
