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

• Oils for summer/warmer months

• Good oils for infusing

• Oils to use for massage

• If cooking oils from the kitchen can be used when blending

There are over 100 carrier oils out there, find one that meets your needs!
