How Essential Are Aromatherapy Carrier Oils?

Aromatherapy carrier oils are used to apply, or 'carry' essential oils onto the skin. They're often called base oils, or vegetable oils and are extracted from nuts, kernels and seeds. In a practitioners  essential oil carrying case, they're usually kept in large bottles!

Carrier oils are extracted by cold pressing and unlike essential oils are non volatile. In aromatherapy and massage, they're used to dilute highly concentrated essential oils and absolutes, before being applied to the skin. 

Aromatherapy Carrier Oils

Absolutes are concentrated oily plant extracts, similar to essential oils, that are also used in the perfume industry.

Concentrated essential oils and absolutes can cause severe skin irritations and reactions to some people, if applied directly to the skin undiluted. It's therefore important that they're applied by a professionally qualified practitioner!

Different types of carrier oils have different therapeutic properties and characteristics. These will include aroma, colour and shelf life, so the choice of carrier oils will depend on the therapeutic benefits desired.

What is formulated could be a simple essential oil blend, a more complex natural moisturizing skin care product, such as a lotion, cream or lip balm. 

Carrier oils like essential oils should be kept in dark coloured air tight bottles and stored in a cool dark place, for maximum shelf life. Carrier oils have a relatively short shelf life compared to essential oils, so they must be stored correctly! 

Many practitioners like to keep their essential oils, carrier oils and accessories in a special essential oil carrying case, made from wood, because natural wood compliments the 'essential' organic nature of the aromatherapy business!

Aromatherapy-The Holistic Way To Well Being!

Aromatherapy is used to maintain general health and well being and offers many additional benefits. These include boosting the immune system, aiding digestion, easing muscle pain, reducing stress and improving your skin complexion.

It can also reduce tension related headaches, alleviates anxiety and helps to reduce feelings of depression! This is why aromatherapy, as an alternative holistic therapy is becoming more and more popular.

Polmac 2-Tier Aromatherapy Starter Kits

Broadly, people who practice aromatherapy fall into two groups - practitioners and consumers and both groups need to keep their aromatherapy products and accessories somewhere.

Practitioners will have practitioner cases and consumers single, or 2-tier starter kits and simple aromatherapy boxes for their essential oils.

These kinds of containers not only keep the aromatherapy products and accessories in one place, they'll also protect and preserve the essential oils for longer.

Aside from aromatherapy boxes, if you're looking to impress your friends or relatives on a special occasion such as a birthday or Christmas, what better way is there than  giving them an aromatherapy gift set.

Premium quality wood is ideal for making aromatherapy boxes and gift sets because wood is a beautiful, versatile and organic material that compliments the organic nature of essential oils perfectly.

Aromatherapy boxes and gift sets may be crafted into many shapes, sizes and styles,  depending upon individual preferences and finished with beautiful clear lacquers, or stunning natural wood and colour stains.

They can also be supplied with printed logos and / or text, for a more personalized finish.

Different people will have different ideas about the contents of aromatherapy boxes and gift sets but the basics will include essential oils, carrier oils and lotions to dilute the essential oils and perhaps a burner or diffuser.

Scented aromatherapy candles can also be included, as they provide an excellent introduction to aromatherapy, some complimentary music cd's to create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere and perhaps a book about aromatherapy if the recipient is new to aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy boxes and gift sets and the essential oils they contain will provide valuable health benefits, along with enticing aromas that create a relaxing and holistic effect on mind and body that can be truly life enhancing!

Aromatherapy Practitioner Cases: A Practical Solution To Home Visits!

If you're trying to find a good aromatherapy practitioner, probably the best way is through referrals from your healthcare provider, family, colleagues, and/or friends.

However, when choosing a practitioner, it's important to consider their education, training, experience and their philosophy of care. Ultimately, you'll need to choose someone you can trust, feel safe with and who feels 'right' for you.

Polmac (UK) Ltd 2-Tier Aromatherapy Practitioner Cases

Many aromatherapy practitioners will operate from a clinic, a doctor's surgery and even their place of work. They may also work from home and provide home visits.

If they provide home visits, they will certainly bring their aromatherapy materials with them and will usually have a dedicated, aromatherapy carrying case. These are sometimes called aromatherapy practitioner cases.

The contents of a practitioner case will of course vary from practitioner to practitioner but will always include the two main aromatherapy ingredients - essential oils and carrier oils.

Essential oils are obtained from plants and are used for such things as reducing stress, increasing focus, soothing muscles, purifying the body, supporting the immune system and providing emotional balance.

Essential oils are applied to the skin in what aromatherapists call a 'carrier oil. This comes from the seeds, kernels or nuts, that comprise the fatty part of the plant.

Essential oils can cause severe irritation or reactions, if applied directly to the skin undiluted. Carrier oils are therefore used to dilute the essential oil before being applied. The carrier oil used will depend on the therapeutic benefits being sought.

Essential oils typically come in 5ml and 10ml bottles, although other sizes are available. Carrier oil bottles are usually much bigger and start at 50ml and 100ml.

Aside from essential oils and carrier oils, practitioner cases will include other accessories such as pipettes, massagers and mixing bowls, depending upon the individual practitioner concerned.

Aromatherapy practitioners will also provide information leaflets as well as cd's explaining the characteristics of essential oils and the procedures used.

Polmac (UK) Ltd supplies single and 2-tier, customized, wood, aromatherapy practitioner cases to many established aromatherapy suppliers. They're beautifully made, versatile and terrific value, which means they are designed to suit every practitioners' needs.
