A base oil or carrier oil is an
oil that can be used for
massage by itself or as a
carrier for pure essential oils.
The addition of these essential
oils gives the oil an aroma
which will have a positive
impact upon health in way
that depends upon your
choice of oils. A
recommended amount would
be up to six drops of pure
essential oil into 10-15 ml
(about 2-3 teaspoons) of base
oil. Vegetable oils used in
aromatherapy should be cold
pressed or refined without the
use of chemical agents (all
ours are) as some vegetable
oils in supermarkets may
have been extracted with the
help of a chemical agent.
