olive, have you thought about going to a spa around you and having the treatment done? you could go incognito (sp?) and see how they do the procedure...

just an idea

And it could be quite possibly a tax write off so get a receipt. I would call it Research and Development. (check with your tax man)

Wow...after reading that Melb I feel like the most unwated person on this board.

You took my comments and turned them into something they are not. and to CAPITILIZE is to draw attention not always to YELL. This (!) would suggest a yell. Sorry I do not live on the internet and follow rules placed my the internet God.

I use to suggest for fellow LMTs to use this sight, but I will NEVER agin suggest to anyone I actually care about to come here. I have not been back for a bit and now know why.

Thank you to those that were helpful and realized all I wanted was help.

Off to find a a massage board whose moderators have to abide by the same rules their members do.

xxoo

I will repeat what I stated earlier 'You want to read my words as negative, that is your prerogative'. This board is made up of online personalities, not people - there is a very big difference, nothing is directed at you, the person, why that makes you 'feel like the most unwanted person on the board' is your problem.

huh? you're a member of this board, I'm a member of thes board, you're not a moderator of this board, I'm not a moderator of this board. What have moderators got to do with it??

The last comment from a moderator was 'Please take a moment to get back on topic or take it to PM.'

HI Olive,

I have been practicing shiro for 8 years. As a beginner, the safest thing to use is a blend of sesame and sunflower oil (50/50) as it is the most tridoshic and easy blend to make.

Giving a treatment with a hand held is possible, no worries there, but I much prefer to use a stand. I have had hundreds of shiros, and everyone does it differently. I recently had one with a pump, where the therapist held the end of the tube over my head for 20 minutes. She was absolutely amazing! I really did not feel her wobble at all. My best suggestion for holding the pot in the beginning is to rest your elbows on either side of the clients head, then be seated at the head of the table.

You may eventually love giving this treatment so much that you will want to invest in a set up that holds more oil, but for now, what you have will work fine. I actually have the set up on that site, the hand held pot you have and one other one. My most preferred method is without a pump, because that is the way I was originally trained. However, having recieved both methods, I can tell you there is almost no difference.

Enjoy your new treatment! It is my very favorite thing to do!

Namaste'
