The practices of using essential oils have been around for centuries. You most likely have heard about them before, but what exactly are they?

At the very soul of it, essential oils provide physical, emotional and spiritual benefits. The oils are extracted (often by water or steam) from flowers, bark, stems, roots, leaves, as well as, other parts of a plant. The term essential oil refers to harvesting the purest essence of the plant and is extremely concentrated so using a small amount is beneficial in the long run.

Essential oils offer many prosperous health and healing uses without the nasty side effects of medication. It can encompass a staggering number of components that each exemplify therapeutic properties and cover many different ailments. The mind and body wellness of essential oils can be achieved through diffusers and topical applications to the skin.

A carrier oil, in short, is just that, a base oil that carries essential oils through the skin. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils prior to topical use. Essential oils applied to the skin undiluted, or neat, can cause skin irritation. Most carrier oils are pressed from the fatty part of plants usually the nuts or seeds. Each carrier oil, like essential oils, offers a different combination of beneficial properties and characteristics. The choice of carrier oil can depend on the therapeutic benefit that you are seeking. Your choice of carrier oil can make a difference in color, aroma and shelf life of your essential oils as well. Carrier oils do not usually contain a concentrated aroma like essential oils.

Well there are many methods of using Essential Oils, the most common are Aromatherapy and Topically.  With aromatherapy you can diffuse them, use steam inhalation or direct inhalation.   Topically you could use it as a massage oil, lotion, facial cream or use in a bath.  We have a detailed article you can read by clicking here.

NO, we follow the guidelines set by many experts and organizations from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), NAHA (National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy) and the Alliance of International Aromatherapists.  Which all state in different words that Internal use is not recommended unless consulted by a doctor. 

Ingesting essential oils is just not worth it, in most cases you can get most of the same natural properties from Aromatherapy and Topical use.  Just don't take the risk.

You would mix the Carrier Oil (base) with the Essential Oil (drops) to the recommended percentage for the intended use.  You may do this by putting a little carrier oil in your hands and adding the recommended drops of the essential oil.  You could also use an empty bottle/jar to mix larger amounts and store them, we offer many glass and plastic empty bottles and jars for this purpose found above in our accessories section of the website.
