HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS (A001)

 

 HOW TO USE YOUR ESSENTIAL OILS

Whether you  are using your Essential Oils therapeutically or purely for pleasure, there are various ways to use them - via massage, bathing, vaporisation and inhalation:

MASSAGE  As a rule , pure Essential Oils should not be applied directly to the skin, they should be diluted first. To do this, mix up to 5 drops of pure essential oil, or blend of  essential oils, per 10mls (one tablespoon) of carrier/base oil or non scented body lotion.

BATHING
Add 3-5 drops of Essential Oils, or blend of oils to your bath, then agitate the water to disperse. While you relax in the bath, a small amount of oil is absorbed by the skin and the rest is slowly evaporated by the heat of the water. You can also add your oils to an unscented bubble bath or enhance a similarly scented one to prevent the oils from clinging to the bath sides. Some people recommend adding the oils to a teaspoon of milk first to help dispersal.

VAPORISATION
The evaporative properties of pure Essential Oils make them ideal for use in a vaporiser. These can be added to a suitable vapouriser or oil burner. When using an oil burner always add the oils to a suitable carrier oil or water or they may be too strong or burn off quickly. Never leave an oil burner unattended.

INHALATION
Add 3-5 drops of pure Essential Oils to a bowl of very hot water (not boiling) and inhale the vapour for 5-10 minutes. Or for ease add 1-2 drops of essential oil to a tissue and inhale.

SAFETY INFORMATION

If you have a skin condition, are pregnant, have epilepsy or asthma, are on a course of treatment with prescribed medication, or are in any doubt about any condition you may have, it is important that you seek the advice of a doctor or suitable practitioner before using pure essential oils.
