Each month Emma Fairbrass CAHT (Certified Aromatherapy Health Therapist) answers a question on Aromatherapy.
Question
Hi Emma,
This may sound like a silly question but my son is allergic to nuts, can I use carrier oil for massage made from peanuts or sweet almond?
-Michael
Answer
Hi Michael,
No. You should never use carrier oil made from nuts on anyone allergic to them. Try using carrier oil such as my favorite Grape seed, or try using Sunflower or Safflower. These are inexpensive choices and you can find most of them at your local health food store even the supermarket. Specialty stores carry these and more expensive oils. Apricot is one you might like to try.
