How Best To Use Essential And Carrier Oils by adeabdul2(m): 11:16pm On Apr 02, 2018
Essential oils are the highly concentrated version of the natural oils in plants. While carrier oils are mainly oils extracted from the nuts, seeds or kernels of plants.

As they are fairly neutral, carrier oils compliment essential oils and are an excellent choice for diluting essential oils for skin and hair products such as massage oils, scrubs, salves, lotions and balms.

Popular carrier oils like coconut oil and olive oil are very beneficial for you but when you add an essential oil to them e.g. Lavender, Peppermint oil you can end up with an amazing blend of valuable proteins, vitamins, fatty acids and natural nutrients that hold immense benefit for your skin, hair and health.

For example:

Castor Oil + Watercress Oil = Excellent Hair Growth, Prevents Hair Loss.
Castor Oil + Bitter Almond Oil = Removes Wrinkles
Sesame Oil + Fenugreek Oil = Removes Foot Cracks

etc...

However, these oils maybe natural but they are still very powerful and allergic reactions may occur in some cases. So it's always best to try a little by doing a small skin patch test on your inner arm or leg (never your face or neck) to make sure you don't have an adverse reaction.

The Oil For All Seasons

"Black Seeds cures all diseases except death." Prophet Mohammad.

Black seed oil benefits everyone, everyday, every time and in every season especially the Harmattan season.

Some benefits of taking black seed oil in harmattan season are:.

1. Warming Effects: Black seed oil warms the body! Black seed oil is naturally a warming oil. So drinking it warms the throat, the stomach and the entire body which is very necessary in this cold season. So don't drink alcohol or smoke to keep warm. Drink black seed oil.

2. Prevents Coughing & Asthma
Drinking black seed oil removes the sand and dust particles that accumulates in the throat and lungs. And so it clears phlegm, prevents coughs and the asthma attacks which is particularly prevalent in this season.

3. Increases Blood Circulation in the Body
The cold temperature in harmattan prevents blood from circulating properly in the body. But drinking black seed oil or black seed tea will circulate the blood properly to the fingers, toes and the rest of the body that needs it.

4. Skin Protection.
Rubbing black seed oil on the body increases the skin's elasticity because it will lock in moisture and prevent it from drying quickly. It will also kills any germs or bacteria that might have gathered on the skin.

5. Hair Protection
Applying black seed oil to your hair stops the hair from graying, from falling off and increases its black colour. It also increases the hair's length.

How To Use:
For Hair and Skin: You may have to apply the black seed oil morning and night or more to get the desired result.

For Health Benefits: You can take a teaspoon of black seed oil or add a teaspoon of black seed powder to hot tea, with/without honey and drink.

So you don't have to drink alcohol or smoke to warm yourself. Just drink black seed oil.

Live Healthy, Naturally!
