Kind of off-topic question about oil massage
Posted by Henna Diva on November 21, 1999 at 23:44:24:
Does anyone know about the practice in some parts of India of
massaging newborns with oil? From what I know about it, babies
(especially female ones) are vigorously massaged with a mixture of
sesame oil and some sort of flour. Doing this massage is supposed to
prevent hair growth later, along with encouraging healthy muscle
development, better skin texture, etc.
I know it's not directly about henna, but I wouldn't be surprised to
find out that maybe the same sort of massage helps with henna
absorption. I've noticed a lot of rural Indian women who get a
virtual hand massage from ghee, butter, oil, etc. while cooking every
day sometimes take henna better.
