Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Hello. I went to the Edgar Cayce school of Massage in Virginia Beach, and one of the things we learned was how to prepare special formulas for massage treatments. A few of them contained Sassafras oil, as well as other ingredients, such as mineral oil, olive and peanut oil. I haven't used any Sassafras since graduating, but with a recent large order, I decided to pick up a bottle for something new to use in my Spa. I bought it from The Heritage Store, in Virginia Beach, (they carry the Cayce products). I used it a few times, it smells just like root beer and the clients loved it. A week or so later, I was online, and was HORRIFIED to read the research about the toxicity of this oil. I contacted the store immediately but they said their oil was completely safe for diluted massage oils and topical applications for sore muscles. On one site, I read that one drop can kill an infant. Needless to say, I discontinued using it right away but would like other's thoughts. Thank you, Anna Anna White Ferraraccio PO Box 87 Pipestem, WV 25979 304-466-1767 PipestemSpa.com Need some help?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hello Anna Go with your intuition and do not the Sassafras Oil. You will not feel good about it. Especially when you have read about the toxicity. Also on the subject, Peanut Oil is not so good to use also as there are so many persons with allergies to peanuts and peanut products. I make lotions/creams and we do not use peanut oils. Mineral Oils even are frowned upon. However Olive Oil is wonderful, Grapeseed Oil, Sunflower Oil and so many others. These are my thoughts.
