Carrier Oils

You may or may not know much about oils, especially the difference between pure oils and carrier oils. Carrier oils derive from plants; they are the fatty, vegetable oils that you may know of by your interest in aromatherapy and essential oils. Pure oils are in fact, extremely harmful to the skin. That is why a carrier oil is needed.

Only a few drops of essential oil are needed to dilute the carrier oil and the concentrate aromatic. This step is essential because it allows the oil to be safer, thus you will be able to use it; this step ultimately allows you to get the most out of your aromatherapy and your oils.

There are many options when it comes to carrier oils so that you will have access to many different kinds. Because of this, the majority of the carrier oils out there can benefit you greatly.

In the world of carrier oils, there are three main categories: based, fixed and vegetable. Kelly's Health is here to help you understand these three categories and what these oils can do for you. Not all carrier oils are actually vegetable oil; however the majority of aromatherapy oils are best used with vegetable oil.

Do keep in mind that carrier oils are not scentless. In fact, some oils will have a light scent that is leftover from the plant. For example, a rose oil with contain a light scent of roses that you will be able to smell.

Carrier oils can also be rancid. If this is the case, the oil must be discarded immediately. You never want to use oils that are rancid--it means they are no longer good.

Remember, having the right carrier oil for your essential oil is very important. When you use the right carrier oils, you along with your oil will benefit.
