Carrier and Base Oils
Massage, or therapeutic touch, has always been part of healing - both physically and emotionally. When essential oils are combined with massage oils, the benefits are numerous. Massage improves circulation, lymphatic drainage, and aids in the elimination of tissue waste. The oils bring healing, peace and tranquility as well as keen mental awareness.
Our
oils can be
used as
massage oils, with or without
essential oils added, and as carrier oils when dilution of essential
oils is
required for skin applications.

Essential
oils intended for aromatherapy massage need to be diluted in a natural
base oil
(carrier oil). Dilution should be at rates of 0.5% to 3% depending on
the
intensity of the fragrance of the essential oil and the conditions for
which it
is applied. As a guide for blending, 1% dilution = 1 drop of essential
oil for
5 ml of carrier oil (2%, 2 drops for same quantity of carrier oil, and
so
forth). Carrier oils should be unrefined and are health treatment by
themselves. Some oils contain naturally occurring nutrients such as
vitamins D
and E, essential fatty acids and trace of minerals, all of which are
highly
beneficial to the skin. A blend of carrier oils offers the benefits of
the
active elements and specific nutrients of the different oils of the
blend.
