The Healing Powers of Essential Oils

Carrier Oils

The products I use for massages; the carrier oils and the essential oils, are from a well known and trusted British company. Their commitment is to provide genuinely “clean and green” products to their customers continues as they embrace all-natural plant-based options for clean beauty and health, and well-being.

Carrier oils and essential oils are made from plants. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and “carry” them to your skin. That is because essential oils are potent and can cause irritation when applied directly to your skin.

Most carrier oils are unscented or lightly scented and do not interfere with an essential oil’s therapeutic properties. They may be used alone or with other oils to nourish your skin. The carrier oils I like to work with are Grapeseed and Coconut.

 

GRAPESEED

Grapesed is a gentle oil that is suitable for all skin types, including babies’ skin. This is why this is my main oil to use. It is also a great all-purpose, easily absorbed massage oil. Can be used on face and body.

Ingredients: Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil. Extracted from the seeds of grapes

100% Natural; a pure, undiluted, premium quality oil.

Why is their Grapeseed Oil so great?

Premium quality oils have superior aromatherapeutic benefits. Their Grapeseed Oil is of a therapeutic grade, and rich in anti-oxidants and Essentially Fatty Acids.

Fatty acids have a soothing effect on the skin and can help to lock in moisture by boosting the skin’s protective barrier. It has mildly astringent properties, known to help tone and balance your complexion.

 

COCONUT

Coconut oil is further purified after extraction to remove waxes and create a more liquid oil as apposed to a solid coconut oil. It is light and has no scent. Its light texture is easily absorbed into the skin and does not leave an oily residue.

Ingredients: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil. This oil is cold-pressed from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts harvested from the coconut palm.

100% natural; pure and natural, premium Coconut oil. This oil is sustainably sourced from the Philippines. Latin name: Cocos nucifera.

Why is their Coconut oil so great?

Extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts harvested from the coconut palm, their fractioned Coconut oil Is a pure, natural, undiluted, vegan and cruelty-free premium quality carrier oil.

To source the best carrier oil suppliers, they travel the world and only opt for oils from controlled, sustainable sources that have little or no negative impact on the environment.

 

IMPORTANT.- None of their products are tested on animals and all are free from GM materials. I only use this company for all my carrier oils and essential oils.

Please note, for some specific treatments I use another popular British company with a great range of organic products beautifully selected and cruelty free too. It also has a lovey holistic approach to health and beauty. Products branch is shows in the treatment description.

Essential Oils

Extracted from plants, essential oils are 100% concentrated and can smell extremely strong. These can be extracted from many different aspects of the plant; from flowers, leaves, twigs and branches, seeds, fruit, cones, bark, wood, root and even resin.

It is believed that essential oils present in plants act as a protection against harmful insects and diseases, but they also play an important role in the reproduction of those plants by attracting insects to pollinate them.

There are hundreds of health perks of essential oils and aromatherapy, but of course, each individual oil will have its own benefits. Our senses are a powerful tool and can often trigger emotions and feelings within our bodies, something that essential oils can also benefit. The powerful smell of aromatherapy oils can support relaxation and stress relief, will aid mood and wellbeing, and can support the immune system and circulatory health.
