Can I use this strictly for massages..? I'm confused, that's all I want it for.

Nicole, I'm not sure about that. What I have read about it is it's used to reduce anxiety, stress and promote sleep. I use it in an Aromafier I purchased from Amazon. I put a few drops on the felt pad that's supplied with the unit, and set on my night stand and turn it on. The aroma is very delicate and it does seem to help me sleep better. It can also be used for bee stings, bug bites, burn or other skin irritation for relief.I would suggest going to this web site as it may answer more of your questions. www.edensgarden.com. I hope that helped some. Frank S.

While it has a bunch of other uses that I referred to in my review, you can certainly use it just for massages -- that is one of the primary uses that they informed me about with one of their emails on uses. The email particularly picked out dabbing some on your fingers to massage your temples. The other answers seem more informed than I am.

Hi Nicole, thank you for you question. Yes you can use it strictly for massages as our lavender can be used directly on the skin. I would suggest adding to a carrier oil to make the bottle last longer. We use it directly on our skin daily for all kinds of things but definitely for massage.

Yes, but you need to use a carrier oil, like jojoba, almond, avocado or sunflower oil.

Oh yes you can... Lavender can be used undiluted but i would dilute it in an unscented massage oil. Enjoy it! I used it for that and it was lovely.

Just vibration + heat - various levels of both vibration & heat - Have had several types of foot massagers and this is the best we have had. Had a reflexology one just prior to this one and was one of the worst we have ever had - - plain discomfort ! ! Hope this answers your ? ?

Dawn, I cant get it to work on my neck at all. It is just not useful for the neck the way it is built. I have to use another kind of vibrator massager for my neck. Surprised at the other two answers - I wish I could find out how they do it. sorry, after conflicting answers Im sure mine doesn't help.

There are several ways to use this device and some contraindications too. I am an Aesthetician and Spa Owner with over 20yrs in the industry, so I could write a book here with all of the information that would be necessary in order to explain the benefits and uses. Please be more specific with regards to what you need this for, also is it for home use or are you a skin professional yourself? Thanks.

You can use it either way. I used it as a support for my neck. It keeps me from getting migraines.however, Idid get a softer one when I returned home.

It's not a foot massager, it's a detox bath. You put your own temperature water in it (it works best IMHO if the water is on the warmer side).

Hi, I just got this question in my email box, so don't know if this will help. The Thumper is amazing. It really helps with my pain in minutes. I haven't tried any of the homedics massagers. A friend had the Thumper, tried it, and loved it. Good luck, hope you find something.

I do not use it for that so I cannot help you. I use it for my face as a moisturizer

There is no massage. The unit vibrates a little. I would not purchase this item again. The first unit sent to me didn't work. That was not really the problem. The company was miserably rude to me. Stay away from them!

IMO I don't think it would work very well for that. Your couch and bed are too "soft" and the seat cushion would just sink into them, thereby not allowing the air to circulate underneath you. Also, I never understood the claim of a "massaging effect" from the seat cushion. I've never felt like I'm getting a massage when I'm sitting on it in my car. For what you want to use it for I would pass.

Actually, that is really why I bought it. However, it is very intense and I find that if I use it as designed, it makes my thumbs sore. So I do not strap it onto my hand very often which is counter to how it is designed to be used. It is supposed to vibrate the hand of the massager which would then be transferred to the massagee.

Yes...it vibrates...however, when I saw all these options I thought it was more massage options, possibly different massages, but it basically vibrates at like 4 speeds, and you can choose the vibrating area...that's the options...mine never leaves the highest setting and the person I bought it for said it wasn't at all what they thought it would be

I don't know. My mom uses it and as far as I can tell, it is just a massager

My massage therapist used them as part of her massage regime on me, so I got a set to use at home on specific body parts. You need to use an emollient lotion on your skin so that you can slide them around. They seem to help break up muscle knots & congestion in hard tissue areas for me

It's too small to be used on your back unless someone else does it for you, and uses it in a small area. The stick is only about 9 inches long, and only about 4 inches are actually for massage. I have tried using it on my neck, but the size and shape really make it best for rolling under your feet.

No I don't. If you are putting that much force on the plastic Acu-Masseur, you might consider this wooden massage tool: http://www.mymt.us/mymt_use_and_conversions Although more expensive, it is stronger, and allows for more options for massage angles. Excellent for self-massage.
