Carrier Oils

We carry a variety of high quality cold pressed carrier oils. You can use these to make your own massage oils or pain relieving treatment. The general rule for using essential oils in massage are as follows:

For a massage to a localized area use a 4-5% dilution. For a full body massage use a 2-3% dilution for an adult. For a full body massage use a 1% dilution for the elderly, children and pregnant women.

1 drop of essential oil in one teaspoon (5 ml) of carrier oil = 1%
2 drops of essential oil in one teaspoon (5 ml) of carrier oil = 2%
3 drops of essential oil in one teaspoon (5 ml) of carrier oil = 3%
4 drops of essential oil in one teaspoon (5 ml) of carrier oil = 4%
5 drops of essential oil in one teaspoon (5 ml) of carrier oil = 5%

If you have a localized problem such as a muscle spasm or inflammation in a specific area, blend 12-15 drops of essential oil or synergy blend to one tablespoon (15 ml) of carrier oil or base cream.

For a full body massage, add 15-20 drops of essential oil or synergy blend to two tablespoons (30 ml) of carrier oil or base cream. The dilution for the elderly, children and pregnant women would be 5-7 drops to two tablespoons (30 ml) of carrier oil or base cream.
