Soy wax massage melts are one item used to add to the healing effects of massage.
A massage is one extremely satisfying way to relieve the stress of everyday life. According to the University of Florida, a study by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles states one massage session actually causes therapeutic biological alterations in the body. Massage max welts are one product you can use to knead the muscles. These massage wax melts release their scent and oils as you apply them to your warm skin. You can make your own massage melts using soy wax.
Instructions
1. Fill the bottom of the double boiler (two saucepans that fit together) with water and place the soy wax flakes in the upper pan. Stirring constantly, melt the soy flakes on low heat until completely melted.
2. Add the shea butter and sweet almond oil to the wax. Stir the mixture slowly until these ingredients are completely incorporated into the wax.
3. Remove the wax mixture from the heat. Break open two capsules of vitamin E and add to the wax. Add several drops of essential oil at this point, if you want to add a scent. Lavender oil is a particularly soothing scent. Add three to five drops of the essential oil at a time, checking the strength of the scent and adjust to your liking, adding up to 25 drops.
4. Spray the muffin tin with the non-grease cooking spray. This helps keep the wax from sticking to the tin as it cools and hardens. Pour the wax mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups.
5. Allow the wax to cool completely, at least five hours. Turn the tin over and tap the bottom of each cup to release the massage wax molds.
