Medium

The oil, lotion, cream, gel or balm used to reduce friction between the therapist's hands and the client's skin.

Alsolubricant, massage oil

Use just enough medium for the hands to glide in effleurage; friction needs little or none. Check for allergies, such as to nut oils, at client intake.
