Essential oils are extremely versatile to use. The best-known method involves combining one or more essential oils with a vegetable base or carrier oil to make a "massage oil." aromatherapists use these for medicinal or therapeutic purposes and usually apply them with massage. However, a massage oil can also simply be applied to the body, as one would apply any body oil, lotion, or cream. Aestheticians use essential oil massage oils to improve skin tone. At home, essen¬tial oils can be used in both these ways, but all this is just the tip of the iceberg because essential oils can be used in literally dozens of ways.
