Why I use coconut oil for massage:
There are many options oils and lotions for therapists to use, and I use coconut oil.
Why?
It is light and absorbs in the skin well leaving no oily after feeling.
It is healthy for skin as a moisturizer, and may have some antibacterial and anti fungal qualities.
No fragrances so you won't walk out smelling like roses. Well, maybe coconut cookies . . . .j/k.
No chemicals that are harsh on the skin.
No deep stains on my sheets requiring extra chemicals or bleach to clean (environmental benefit).
It's edible like play doh and silly putty . . . two of my favorite toys.
Be Well, Jesse
