While studying Aromatherapy, I was fortunate enough to study in depth the benefits of natural and organic base oils. Base oils are absolutely integral part of any essential oil blend, without them usage of essential oils would be very challenging.
What is >base oil? In a nut shell, base oils is a carrier oil that allows us to apply essential oils on our bodies without irritating the skin and making application more convenient and at the same time nourishing and regenerating our skin.
All of the therapeutic and healing blends, which we produce at Nature’s Lovers, contain pure natural and organic carrier oils like jojoba, almond, hazelnut, sesame and apricot kernel. We also use organic coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter to produce moisturizing body balm with Rosewood essential oil, which helps to relax, soften, pamper and regenerate dry and tired skin.
Jojoba is probably my most favorite carrier oil. It has so many benefits and is very pleasant to use. It’s light, odorless and absorbs into the skin almost immediately. I use organic expeller pressed jojoba oil in Hair Strengthening Spray blend, it nourishes the scalp, roots and gives healthy glow to damaged and color-treated hair. Essential Oils of Rosemary, Cypress and Cedar Wood help to stimulate hair growth by increasing blood circulation and carrying oxygen to the roots.
Sesame oil is another great carrier oil to use, when it comes to therapeutic blends for skin, muscles and joints. In Ayrveda, sesame oil is considered to be very healing, detoxifying and beneficial to all body systems. Sesame oil has the ability to penetrate and carry its benefits to the very marrow of the bone. On the way it gathers oil soluble toxins and takes them into the blood stream to be eliminated by the body as waste. I’ve seen great results after adding sesame oil to Cellulite Reduction Blend as well as our Muscle and Joint Comfort Blend.
My advice to all our readers is to use, as much as possible, products that contain natural and organic carrier oils, even using olive oil as skin moisturizer is MUCH better then using commercial body creams and lotions that contain harmful ingredients like parabens, mineral oils and bunch of preservatives. Looking after your skin with natural and organic oils will bring long lasting results and your skin will thank you by looking young and radiant!.
Happy September to Everyone!
