Carrier oils, are like EO's, in that each one has it's own therapeutic effect, and choosing the right one for the right situation is a must.

A lot of people like Grape seed, Apricot Kernel and Peach kernel. My question is WHY? Therapeutically they really are a nothing oil.

And that my friends, is the answer. They are basically nothing oils. They are light in fragrance and extremely light to use in massages, and have become the oils of choice for massages by a LOT of people.

I, too, love to use the light oils, they go on easily, they don't add much to the fragrance of the mixture, they are absorbed easily and they're fairly inexpensive.

HOWEVER!!! If you want to make up a GOOD potion, use a REAL carrier oil, and your choices are MANY!!!

In fact, people are starting to learn, that the therapeutic properties of carrier oils are far greater than most people know about. In fact, using a good carrier oil, can replace using E.O.s altogether in some instances.
