Sweet Almond Oil 1 Oz.
Product Details
Sweet almond oil, despite its name, doesn't contain any aromatic
properties. It has a very faint, nutty scent and doesn't offer the inhalation
benefits that other essential oils do. However, it is a popular carrier oil in
aromatherapy. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils before applying
them to the skin, as essential oils in their concentrated form can be
irritating. Sweet almond oil is lightweight and easily absorbed by the skin,
making it a good choice for massage blends.
Medicinally, sweet almond oil is thought to be soothing and
moisturizing for the skin. It may help with dry, itchy skin conditions like
eczema and psoriasis. Some people also use it to soften stretch marks and
scars.
When it comes to pairing with other oils, sweet almond's
strength lies in its versatility. Because it's a mild carrier oil, it can be
used with a wide variety of essential oils. Popular pairings include lavender
oil for relaxation, chamomile oil for calming inflammation, and tea tree oil
for acne treatment.
In the realm of magick, sweet almond oil is associated with
purity, gentleness, and new beginnings. It's sometimes used as a base for
magickal massage oils or added to rituals intended to promote peace and
healing. It can also be used to anoint candles or other ritual tools.
