What is a Carrier Oil?

Essential Oils are potent. They are often referred to as "hot" which means they may cause a burning effect/feeling to the applied area. This can be typical if you have sensitive skin. Oils don't dilute with water so you need an oily substance to dilute with. This is where the carrier oil comes into play. Young Living has a V-6 oil which is a vegetable carrier oil. Other oils that you might have heard of that work as carrier oils are coconut oil and grape seed oil.

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus can be used for aches associated with a cold, flu or minor muscle injuries; also for congestion. When diffused, it is thought to stimulate the senses, in addition to clearing the nasal passages. Used much like Vick's VapoRub and applying to skin, take a few drops and mix with a teaspoon of a carrier oil, then rub it on your back, chest and feet bottoms.

It's Cold Season

To boost immune system: The "Thieves" blend is a combination of lemon or orange, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus and rosemary. If uncomfortable using eucalyptus because the child is younger than 6, substitute fir. Thieves oil can be diffused or diluted and applied to the bottom of a child's feet. I've also used a drop or two in warm water and then gargled with it for a sore throat.

I first used Lemon on skin tags. Two to three applications a day over time and given the size of the skin tag, will effectively make them fall off without pain. [more]
