Base Oils & Carrier Oils

Base Oils
A List of Carrier Oils and their Uses
AUGUST 1, 2015 ~ LAURA HOY
A List of Carrier Oils (also known as vegetable or base oils) and their Uses (in alphabetical order):

Carrier oils, also known as base oils or vegetable oils, are a great medium to use to blend essential oils with since they have their own nourishing properties. They can be used on their own for massage and in the bath, and are essential ingredients in skin care products. Essential oils should always be diluted before use on skin*.

To help you choose which base oils to use, here is a list with some of their most useful properties.

Almond ~ a great general use oil, not too rich or light, and full of nutrients. Caution – avoid with nut allergies.

Apricot ~ A very gentle light oil that I like to use with children, and people with sensitive skin.

Avocado ~ Very rich and nourishing but still absorbs well into skin, great for dry & mature skin.

Borage / Star flower ~ a lovely light oil that is particularly good for eczema and those with delicate skin.

Calendula / Marigold oil (marigold flowers macerated in olive oil) ~ if I could only use one base oil then this would be it, the olive oil is rich and full of nutrients and further enhanced with the healing properties of calendula flowers, great for all skin types, especially useful for problem or damaged skin. Watch out for my new blog on how to make your own ~ coming soon!

Coconut ~ I love this oil, as it is so versatile, it is great for skin, hair, and even in food. It is solid at room temperature, but very easily melts in warm hands, if it is a hot day, or you live in a tropical country, it is likely to melt and be in a liquid state. It has a very greasy feel to it, which makes it perfect for use as a cleanser as it easily removes dirt, grime, and makeup. It is particularly good for removing eye makeup, as it is so greasy, so there is no pull on the delicate skin around the eyes. If you do not like the strong smell of coconut, you can choose a deodorized version.

Macadamia ~ Very rich and nourishing but still absorbs well into skin, great for dry skin. If you buy the un-refined version, the smell is incredibly delicious. Caution – avoid with nut allergies.

Rosehip ~ this is the best oil I know for helping to heal scars and improving their appearance, a great oil to enrich any blend for skin care.

Sea buckthorn ~ I have been experimenting with this oil recently on my face, on its own as a night oil and as an ingredient in my creams. It really makes the skin glow and feels lovely.

Common Kitchen Herbs That Bring in Money


Common Kitchen Herbs That Bring in Money
  • Thyme: This humble green herb is a powerhouse money-attractor. Use it in cooking to draw money to the home; make a weak tea with it and add some to the rinse cycle when you launder your business clothes.
  •  Basil: A multi-talented magical herb, this one protects the home, brings love and peace to the family, and draws money to the kitchen; Sprinkle some on the floor and sweep it out the back door, for “No evil can come where Basil has been.”
  • Ginger: Hot, sweet, and spicy, this root can be used fresh, in whole dried form, or as a powder to protect from evil spirits and to attract money; add it to any money spells you have to make them work faster.
  •  Cloves: An herb that binds friends together, this one also brings in the winnings at games of chance, and it is particularly favored in this regard by lady lottery players.
  • Allspice: Count out 7 whole Allspice Berries and tie them in your shirt tail or carry them in your pocket; you will have luck for seven days. Throw them in running water and make a wish when the seventh day is done.
  • Nutmeg: The gambler’s spice supreme. Carry a whole Nutmeg in your pocket for luck, or grate some up and sprinkle it in your shoes when you visit the casino!
  • Cinnamon: Known as the “Sweet Money Spice,” Cinnamon is the luckiest of the Money-Drawing herbs, roots, and spices. It paves the way for business luck and gambling winnings too! Mix it with sugar and sprinkle some on buttered toast — then sprinkle the rest of the mixture on your cash and shake the money all around your door.
