How to use leech oil?
Use of the'leech oil varies according to the objectives, but it is usually applied topically (on the skin). Common steps for its application include:
-
Skin preparation Before applying leech oil, it is advisable to clean the targeted area with warm water and mild soap. This makes it possible to remove any dirt or natural oil, thus facilitating the absorption of oil.
-
Oil application Put a few drops of leech oil in the palm of your hand, then gently massage the targeted area with circular movements. This makes it possible to get oil into the skin and activate the blood circulation.
-
Massage For optimal benefits, massage can last between 5 and 10 minutes. This is particularly recommended for applications designed to stimulate circulation or relieve muscle pain.
-
Frequency of use : Depending on the purpose, application can be done once or twice a day, for example in the morning and evening. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions or the advice of a healthcare professional.
-
Precautions After application, it is recommended to wash your hands to avoid contact with the eyes or mucous membranes, as oil can cause irritation. Also avoid applying it to irritated skin or areas with open wounds.
Should we heat the oil slightly?
It is usually not necessary to heat leech oil before application. However, if you want to apply it warm to promote muscle relaxation and improve penetration, you can heat it slightly. Here is how to proceed without altering its properties:
-
Water bath method : Place the oil bottle in a hot water container for a few minutes. Make sure that the water is not boiling, just warm enough to heat the oil without distorting its active components.
-
Temperature verification : Always test the temperature by putting a drop on the inside of your wrist. It must be warm, not hot, to avoid any risk of burn.
This gentle method can make oil more pleasant to apply and can help stimulate blood circulation locally. However, this remains optional and depends on your personal preference.
Note: Some people may be sensitive to leech oil. Before regular use, apply a small amount to a small area of skin and wait 24 hours to see if there are allergic reactions, such as redness or itching.
These recommendations may vary depending on the products and concentrations, so be sure to follow the specific instructions and get advice from a professional if necessary.
