Aromatherapy with Kukui nut oil Carrier Oil

Kukui nut oil, brought to Hawaii by early Polynesian settlers, is quickly absorbed into the skin. This oil is high in linoleic and linolenic essential fatty acids. Excellent for skin conditioning after sun exposure, as well as for acne, eczema, psoriasis, hemorrhoids, dry/wrinkled skin and offers good protection for outdoor sports.

Kukui nut oil offers just the right amount of lubrication without leaving a greasy feeling. Excellent for chapped skin and may prevent scarring.

Have a great day!

Some companies claim that for best results, I should use essential oils on my skin at full strength . Others claim I should never use essential oils on my skin at full strength. Which is it?

The mis-use of any substance can lead to injury, and essential oils are no exception. Essential oils are powerful in scent and action and must be treated with respect for aromatherapy and other uses. 

Never Put Undiluted Essential Oils On Your Skin. 

Essential oils are concentrated liquids and are very powerful substances. They should not be consumed internally without education from a qualified educator or without personal counsel from a trained aromatherapist.   

Treat Essential Oils with Respect

The following list includes basic guidelines to promote safety in the use of essential oils:

- Keep all essential oil bottles out of the reach of children and animals.

- Do not use on children or animals.

- Do not apply to the body undiluted.

- Do not take internally.

- Do not use if pregnant: consult with a certified health professional with knowledge of essential oils.

- Do not use a particular essential oil if you've had a previous adverse reaction to it.

Treat essential oils with the same care that you treat medicines. You don't need to be afraid or avoid essential oils and I'm certainly not trying to scare anyone out of enjoying all the benefits that aromatherapy offers. They can be an amazing blessing within a holistic lifestyle. Do remember, however, that when working with essential oils, less is more.

Here are two rules to follow:

    Do not ingest essential oils. They are concentrated and very potent. In large amounts, they can attack the delicate linings of your stomach, esophagus, and throat. You can even poison yourself by taking essential oils by mouth.
