Oil retention

Principle

Oil + heat

Treatment syndromes

Often used for very tense or easily injured muscles, such as bruises, frozen shoulder, hip pain, dry knee pain. Avoid areas with inflammation because it is a hot procedure.

Precautions

• Patients with high nosebleeds
• Patients with high blood pressure at the time
• Patients with hemiplegia or paralysis who do not feel pain
• Patients with diabetes
• Patients who cannot tolerate heat
• Skin areas with soft, open wounds or inflammation

Procedure steps

• Place a cotton pad on the area to be treated
• Spray oil onto the cotton, leaving a small margin
• Spray oil until moist
• Blow with a hot air blower
• Lift the cotton to rest so it does not get too hot
• Turn the cotton over and blow hot air again

Repeat steps 1-6 for about 60 minutes. Always feel the patient's heat and muscles to prevent the patient from getting too hot and assess muscle relaxation.

Precautions during the procedure

• Distance between the hot air blower and the patient's skin
• Heat level of the hot air blower

If the patient cannot stand the heat, remove the cotton and try not to move to prevent the oil from flowing to other areas.
