Our Services
In our clinic we use food grade organic coconut oil as base massage oil Instead of ordinary massage oil, which is made from the first pressing of fresh, raw coconuts, without the addition of any chemicals. This pure-white, creamy natural product is neither bleached, hydrogenated, nor deodorized. Organic coconut oil is fairly high in saturated fat but is also about half lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid believed to raise HDL. Compared to many other types of fats, the fatty acids in coconut oil might be digested more easily and have also been known to kill harmful pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. For clients with allergy concerns, we also provide a regular, hypoallergenic massage gel to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
