Carrier Oils Their Properties & Uses: E Learning

Pre-requisite: Aromatherapy and or a Massage Qualification

Discover how to really value the healing effects of carrier oils and how to use them for subtle yet efficient healing effects on clients, both externally and internally. Carrier oils are used in greater proportions in an aromatherapy treatment than essential oils, so it is important to understand their properties and benefits. Although carrier oils cannot penetrate the skin like essential oils, many contain vitamins and other smaller components that can be absorbed by the top layers of the skin to enhance appearance and skin health. Carriers enable essential oils to be distributed evenly over the skin, although the presence of the carrier does slow down the absorption of the essential oils to an extent. Due to their very nature, they are great internally and can be incorporated into everyday life.
