The soul of aromatherapy is essential oil. One can use an essential oil by itself or in conjunction other essential oils. The oils have many uses, from getting rid of stress to clearing up skin. Some oils, such as those found in cinnamon, can irritate the skin. In fact, some essential oils pack such a punch you need to dilute them first. To dilute them, use carrier oils, such as sweet almond oil.
