Base oils play a pivotal role in the practice of aromatherapy, serving as carriers for essential oils and enhancing their therapeutic effects.

These oils, derived from various plants, nuts, and seeds, possess unique properties that complement the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. Commonly used base oils include jojoba, sweet almond, coconut, and grapeseed oils, each offering different textures, absorption rates, and nutritional profiles. The selection of a suitable base oil is crucial as it can influence the overall experience and efficacy of aromatherapy treatments.

In aromatherapy, base oils serve as mediums for diluting potent essential oils, ensuring safe application and minimising the risk of skin irritation. By blending essential oils with base oils, aromatherapy practitioners can create customised formulations tailored to address specific ailments or promote general well-being.

Base oils also help to extend the longevity of essential oils, allowing for gradual release and prolonged therapeutic effects when applied to the skin or dispersed through diffusers. Moreover, base oils possess inherent nourishing properties, moisturising the skin and enhancing its texture, which further contributes to the holistic benefits of aromatherapy.
