Aromatherapy Hazel Nut Carrier Oil

Hazelnut oil Corylus avellana Hazelnuts yield a pale amber oil with a pleasant aroma. Its composition is similar to almond oil for which it is often substituted. This is the only fixed nut oil with an astringent quality, making it beneficial for use on oily skin. It absorbs quickly and is useful as a base for oily or acne-prone skins.

Why is aromatherapy gaining so much press and exposure now if it's been in practice for thousands of years?

Society today is more health conscious and is now more receptive to natural alternative health modalities including aromatherapy. The media, although often inaccurately, has been actively covering the trends in increased health awareness and alternative medicine. The media has made a point to include the aromatherapy "buzzword."

The Internet has made it easier for individuals to access and share aromatherapy information. The ability to network and purchase essential oils online has had a positive effect on the growth of aromatherapy and aromatherapy businesses.

Lifestyles of today are now more hectic and stressful. Since aromatherapy can assist in reducing the symptoms of stress and help one energize or relax, society is taking notice. If you go to stores that sell any kind of candles, bath or beauty products, you'll most likely see products labeled with the word "aromatherapy." 

In my personal experience, most times I see the word "aromatherapy" on products not sold by  retailers, the word is used incorrectly. So, the surge in awareness of aromatherapy is both positive and negative. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation about aromatherapy and mislabeled products around.

To be an aromatherapy product and to have therapeutic value, the should be now chemicals and must contain only a pure essential oil.
