Ep. 56: Replay: The Essential Guide to Carrier Oils:Aromatherapy's Unsung Heroes
SHOW NOTES
What You’ll Learn
In this episode, Nikki interviews Susan about lipid oils, often referred to as carrier oils, and their many benefits.
Susan trained as an herbalist and became very interested in infusing plants in oils, but because there wasn't much information on the oils, she began to focus on them with a little help from a friend who was a chemist and was able to clue her in on the fatty acids.
This led to a self-published booklet, and after 20 years of running an herbal products business, her book Power of the Seed was published. Susan continues her oil research and has become obsessed with looking at the oils by the botanical family as there is so much to discover about them.
In this episode, Nikki and Susan go over
The great benefits of blending lipid oils together
Importance of using carrier oils/lipid oils with essential oils
Great oils to use in the winter months to protect the skin
