Jenny Ray replied to Paula Hulen, CMT's discussion Stones that Smell in the group Stone Therapy"Rancid stones is an impossibility...stones don't spoil and have no known bacteria to create odor soooo...it is rancid oil from improper cleaning and using the wrong oil...(if the stones arrive from supplier with odd smell it is…"

Paula Hulen, CMT replied to Alicia Barrera-Warwick,HHP,LE's discussion What brands are you currently using for your facials? in the group Dual Therapists: Massage and Esthetician"I am graduating from Esthetician School the end of this month and so I thank you for asking this question!

Pat Ward replied to Paula Hulen, CMT's discussion Stones that Smell in the group Stone Therapy"I would try white vinegar, soak them for a while in the vinegar and then rinse thoroughly in hot water and then scrub them again with a soapy solution. It is a good idea to put the stones outside in the sun occasionally to recharge them."
Teri Baginski replied to Paula Hulen, CMT's discussion Stones that Smell in the group Stone Therapy"If they smell rancid, I recommend either covering the stones in baking soda and letting them set for a while or at least adding a lot of it (baking soda) to your soaking/cleaning water. I've found that baking soda works great for getting rid of…"
Jan Walker replied to Paula Hulen, CMT's discussion Stones that Smell in the group Stone Therapy"PLEASE see Jenny Ray's post on CDC guidelines. I just read the post and was not aware of these most up to date sanitation guidelines. Thank you Jenny! Essential oils and shock treatments simply are not thorough enough to prevent the spread of…"
Jan Walker replied to Paula Hulen, CMT's discussion Stones that Smell in the group Stone Therapy"Ewwwww! I would clean them thoroughly by placing a small number at a time in the sink filled with very hot water, a squirt of dishwashing soap, four tablespoons of vinegar and one tablespoon of bleach. Allow them to sit for a few minutes then swish…"

Paula Hulen, CMT added a discussion to the group Stone TherapyStones that Smell
I recently inherited some stones and they still have an odor after I have cleaned them thoroughly, individually, in hot soapy water. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the smell? I have a feeling that they were not cleaned after each use and have absorbed internally this odor...Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions.
Paula Hulen, CMT replied to Donna C. Agrinsonis, LMT's discussion A funny question for you all.... in the group Natural oils, lotions and lotion making"Donna, Thanks for the questions! I would use some of the virgin coconut oil I just got for an at-home massage, and on an island, hopefully there would be some avocado trees, would blend it with some coconut water, that would be an interesting mix!"
Paula Hulen, CMT replied to Jenny Ray's discussion Stone Sanitation Procedures...fact and fiction! in the group Stone Therapy"Thank you Jenny for the sanitation and cleansing procedures! A great reminder anytime as our clients welfare should always be foremost in our practice! And thank you also to Mary Ellen for the tip on using your dishwasher, I did not think the temp…"
Paula Hulen, CMT replied to Kerry Tierney's discussion Purchasing Hot Stones in the group Stone Therapy"Kerry,

Websites are now really the foundation of a successful massage business. It is important to understand the process so that you can do it yourself or hire someone to do it right for you. A website should be all about getting results!See More

rudy m smith said… - medical massage is outcome based - intent is to remedy shortened, fibrosed or adhesed tissues and relieve nerve entrapment. It is therapy rather than just relaxation.

- While massage is well in Mobile Alabama, I would much rather move my practise to an area overflowing with open minds. :}

Hey, would you please participate in a massage survey? Thanks!
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=OhBtGlEETUWwi9h5olkCGQ_3d_3d
Please help me compile this information. I'd like more than a 1,000 if possible. Sure it is!
Your participation is MOST appreciated.
Remember you do not have to answer all the questions and Page 2 is "optional". Page two is for those employed only, NOT Self Employed!The survey company automatically includes Page 2 and I was unable to edit or delete. SO it IS OPTIONAL!
Pass it on to your colleagues too.
The intention is to publish this research to assist
Future LMT's, educators, employers and anyone else interested in the statistics of the massage industry!
I want to give you a voice to share your thoughts and experiences.
The Survey will end November 29, 2009
