Tips on Reducing Insurance Claims for Holistic
Practitioners
Using Candles can be a Fire
Hazard
Lately we are seeing a rash of insurance claims for fires caused
by unattended candles. Your livelihood depends upon your ability
to massage clients in your office. If the office burns down you
might be out of business. Please be careful of the flames in
your office.
Also, note that oily sheets seem to create a larger blaze
Here are some Fire Safety tips for using candles safely (2):
-
Position candles away from
flammable objects and materials, and away from any possible
contact by pets or children.
-
Place candles on
heat-resistant surfaces which will not transmit heat to the
furniture or which they are placed. Ceramics work well for
this purpose.
-
Candles should also be placed
in heat resistant bowls that will catch dripping wax, and
secured in an appropriate holder so there's not the
slightest possibility of the candle falling over, or being
blown or knocked over.
-
Never leave a burning candle
unattended.
-
When blowing out a candle,
hold your index finger in front of the flame and blow at it.
Air will flow around your finger, extinguish the candle from
both sides, and prevent hot wax from splattering.
-
Install a smoke detector in
every room where candles are burned.
Candles are enjoyable, calming,
and fragrant, but don't ever forget that when you burn them, you
are dealing with fire. Always take proper precautions to prevent
your enjoyable experience from turning into a disaster.
For more information about candles or fire safety, contact your
local fire department.
Using Body Oils or Creams?
Lately, we have had some insurance claims related to the use of
products on the body. From the onset, you must be comfortable
with the products that you use on your clients. A common
favorite is extra virgin olive oil purchased at the grocery
store. Sometimes clients furnish their own creams or oils.
Whatever the case, should a client have a problem with the
substance you use, please report it to your insurance provider
immediately.
There is a true test of water quality called TDS. This stands
for Total Dissolved Solids. If you were to take 1,000,000 parts
of water in a solution, ever wonder how many parts there are in
it other than water? Very clean water contains three parts per
million other than water. Urban tap water is usually 120 or more
parts-per-million non-water. Often the non-water components are
chlorine and fluoride, which slows down metabolism and the
thyroid. A slow thyroid is the first step in weight gain. When
you shower in water that is chlorinated, it is equivalent to
drinking a glass of chlorinated water. The skin absorbs a
certain amount of that which is applied to it.
As such, oils and creams are similarly absorbed into the body.
That is why some massage experts recommend extra virgin olive
oil or another cold processed oil. They feel we should not put
anything on the skin which cannot also be digested.
Insurance claims pertaining to oils and creams are for
over-the-counter remedies that are designed to create heating
and cooling. On should be extremely careful when using any
product on a client. If they have a bad experience, they will
not return.
Include your client in the decision process on which oil or
cream to use in their session. This is a great opportunity to
introduce aromatherapy oils and make your client feel special.
When a client is made to feel important, they will show our
appreciation by telling their friends.
