essential oils are potent and volatile oils. Their molecular makeup is much smaller than other fatty or carrier oils which makes them easier to penetrate the skin. They also are used to heal by topical application and diffusing. If you'd like to purchase any oils you can visit my website www.youngliving.org/raqad

Essential oils are made by distillation process. Extracts can be extracted by pressuring plants.
Choose a carrier oil and essential oils to put in your body oils. It is usually better to use more than five different types of essential oils. Add one drop of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil and then shake up the bottle to mix the oils.
A base or carrier oil is an inert natural oil used to dilute essential oils (many of which should not be used full strength on the skin) for massage or other delivery. An essential oil is an oil extracted from an herbal source (leaf, stem, flower, bark, root) by one of several methods. Steam distillation and expression are the most commonly used. The essential oils contain the constituents and chemical components.
Adding herbs and essential oils to water can enhance its therapeutic value. Steam is frequently used as a carrier for essential oils that are inhaled to treat respiratory problems.
Pure essential oils are essential oils that have not been diluted with a carrier oil in your bottle such as almond, coconut or other such oils. Many of the products you buy in the store, even health food stores, are not pure because pure oils cost more. They can make you think you are getting a bottle of lavender oil for a low cost but in reality you are getting a small amount of essential oil and a lot of carrier oil. Your best course in essential oils is to find a reputable company that sells pure therapeutic grade essential oils. These oils will be good for treating many illnesses, cleaning, cooking and aroma therapy. Cara mybutterflyoils.com

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.
