How is a carrier oil used with essential oils?

Almost all oils come with a dilution rate. If you have a reference book for essential oils it will often say to dilute the oil 50:50 or maybe 80:20. That means that for every drop of essential oil you need to add an equal amount of carrier oil. The best carrier oil to use is almond oil or coconut oil. You start by placing the desired amount of carrier oil into your non-dominant hand, then add equal drops of essential oil. Then with the dominant hand mix the oils together in three clockwise circles. Now you are ready to place it on your body.

What is the aromatherapy for almond?

Almond oil is used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy. Essential oils need to be mixed into a carrier (base) oil since most of them are too potent and concentrated to be used undiluted on the skin. There are 2 forms of almond oil: bitter (known as just "almond oil") and sweet. Sweet almond oil is preferred by most aromatherapists and can be used in aromatherapy recipes for children.
