INTRODUCTION
In the present time, it’s becoming more and more common for people to
deal with body pain and a lack of relaxation. This often happens because their
lifestyle has become very hectic, as they are very busy with their schedules for
the whole day and are involved in either light or heavy tasks. What makes it
even trickier is that there are underlying health issues, like stress and headaches,
that add to the struggle of coping with these discomforts. Massage oils have
become important for these people, as they are widely used for therapeutic
purposes to reduce pain of different body parts and have many applications,
such as nourishing the skin and promoting sleep and relaxation. According to
Concorde (2020), the field of massage has massively influenced the world and
has consistently gained popularity over the years due to its diverse benefits.

bodily discomforts, headaches, and stress and accessing the relaxation they
which may be expensive, and may include false claims of benefits, and contain
harmful chemicals. This might lead them to overlook the potential risks, putting
massage oil using the Makabuhay plant and Ylang-ylang. The crafted homemade
massage oil from these two natural extracts would be safer and more cost-
effective, which may provide a warming sensation and a heavenly fragrance that
will truly alleviate body discomfort, and promote sleep and relaxation.
According to Morales (2022), massage oils are used to lubricate the skin

they may contain chemicals that may lead to several skin infections and allergies.

those valued plants, our strong interest lies in two, the Makabuhay plant and
Makabuhay plant has traditionally been used to treat skin diseases, alleviate skin
itching, improves skin tone, and manage abdominal and joint pain. However, this
native and lesser-known Makabuhay plant may still harbor undiscovered potential

To create massage oil from the Makabuhay plant vines and Ylang-ylang
ylang in the forests and then purchase 1 liter of mineral oil to use as a carrier oil.
After gathering our materials, we will now craft our massage oil by following a
careful series of steps. To start off, we will allow the Makabuhay plant vines and
the Ylang-ylang flower to dry for a few hours so that the moisture content will be
reduced.
Next, we will chop the dried vines and the flowers, preparing them to be
boiled in 5–6 hours at a low temperature together with the carrier oil, which is
mineral oil.
Carrier oil should be added to lessen the concentration of the massage oil
and facilitate its easy application to the skin when applied. Then, they will
undergo the process of infusion, and they are occasionally bruised to allow the
released oil from dried vines and flowers to infuse with the mineral oil. After a
thorough infusion period, we will strain the oil to remove the plant matter,
leaving behind a fragrant and concentrated massage oil blend. The proposed
homemade massage oil will then be compared, analyzed, and tested with the

The researchers will use two plants to produce the proposed homemade
massage oil. The Makabuhay plant, which boasts sturdy vines and heart-shaped
leaves known for their resilience and traditional medicinal applications, and the
Ylang-ylang, known for its aromatic yellow flowers, perfect for extracting oils.
These two plants can be found along riverbanks and in forests, at Poblacion,
Floridablanca, Pampanga.
The goal of us, researchers, is to produce homemade massage oil using the
Makabuhay plant and Ylang-ylang and to test if it can be more effective than the
commercialized ones.

To start off, we will allow the Makabuhay plant vines and the Ylang-ylang
flower to dry for a few hours so that the moisture content will be reduced. Next,
we will chop the dried vines and the flowers, preparing them to be boiled in 5–6
hours at a low temperature together with the carrier oil, which is mineral oil.
Carrier oil should be added to lessen the concentration of the massage oil and
Lastly, they will undergo the process of infusion, and they are occasionally
bruised to allow the released oil from dried vines and flowers to infuse with the
mineral oil. After a thorough infusion period, we will strain the oil to remove the
plant matter, leaving behind a fragrant and concentrated massage oil blend.
