In this earthy and fragrant course, students will explore the rich therapeutic potential of wax-based herbal preparations—including salves, balms, body butters, and wax compresses—for use in professional massage, spa therapy, and herbal self-care. Students will learn to blend plant-infused oils with beeswax, butters, and aromatics to create rich, skin-loving remedies that nourish tissues and hold heat beautifully during bodywork. From first aid salves to deep-tissue massage waxes, the course covers foundational techniques and recipes while allowing for hands-on, personalized formulation. The session also explores product safety, professional use, and small-batch production, with a focus on intuitive blending, sensory immersion, and client-centered care.
