Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 HI, My name is Tonya and I am new to the group. I have been experimenting with essential oils and have personally found them to be quite effective. I, too, have had painful lumps in my underarms. I experimeted with massaging lemongrass oil there. The next day, the lumps and the pain were gone. Just curious, does anyone know about carrier oils. What are the names of some of them and how are they supposed to be used? Thanks, Tonya Groups are talking. We´re listening. Check out the handy changes to . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Carrier oils are oils such as sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil, and more (usually cold pressed veggie oils)...the type of carrier oil that you use can affect how it works theraputically....so do some research on them...you add essential oils to these oils, as direct use of these oils is sometimes not necessary or advised (some of them can burn you - such as cinnamon oil)....so you add the number of drops that you wish to your carrier oil and store it in the blue or amber glass bottles...a great way to use aromatherapy and massage...I even experiment w/ my own fragrance oils...the carrier oils allow the essential oils to be absorbed into the skin...also the carrier oils do not evaporate like essential oils do......

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi Gabriele, The reason I say it's a "good" thing for lymph nodes to be swollen is because it means they are dealing with toxins. More correctly, a swollen node tells us our system is struggling with too many toxins. This is essential information, and if we're paying attention we can adjust what we're doing accordingly. We can increase water consumption, improve our diet, ensure we're getting enough exercise to aid the system, etc.... I wasn't clear enough in my first post. Sorry about that. -Raine gabriele wrote: raine wrote : """ Any time lymph nodes are swollen is a good thing! It means that your lymph system is working- it's doing it's job!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Georgia is right. Most all essential oils cannot be used neat. Lavender and tea tree can be used without a carrier for most skin types. If you don't want to use a carrier oil for your eo's, maybe you can try pure witch hazel (not with alcohol). Shake before using and apply with cotton or use an atomizer.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Dear Tonya, Two of your best carrier oils are Jojoba and Olive Oil. Olive Oil will go rancid over a period of time whereas Jojoba will not as it has its own natural preservatives.
