If essential oils are used in skin and body care, carrier oils can also be moisturising, nourishing and protecting. Oils such as baby oil should not be used to dilute essential oils. Oils are extracted from various parts of plants (root, stem, flower, leaves, peel, bark, wood etc) and are soluble in alcohol, ether and other oils. Oils work directly on the chemistry of the body, via the skin and bloodstream. Aromatherapy is suitable for most people of all ages, treating many conditions such as - nervous disorders, i.e. depression, anger, stress and other related symptoms including headaches and insomnia. |
