Method of Application
Pure essential oils have a wide range of therapeutic benefits. The method applied can effect the results you receive. Please take care in that almost no essential oil should be applied neat (undiluted) to the skin.
A common way to use essential oils is an Aromatherapy Massage. Simply blend your chosen blend or single oil with your choice of carrier oil.
Essential oils are comprised of naturally occurring chemicals that work in synergy with one another. As a result, another popular treatment using aromatherapy is to inhale, breathing deeply the aroma. Essential oils evaporate quickly (known as being "volatile"), their molecules are easily inhaled. This action is believed to offer both psychological and physical benefits. Other methods include:
Facial Steam: for skin care, part of a deep cleansing routine: 5 or 6 drops in a pint of warm water or in facial steamer. Facial Masque: add 3 to 5 drops to moistened clay. Facial Oil Blend: use up to 15 drops of Essential Oil to your chosen carrier oil. Humidifier: Add from 3 to 9 drops of your chosen EO to the water of the humidifier. Ensure it is a cool mist. Shower: After a shower, apply 5 to 7 drops to a damp wash cloth. Rub briskly all over the body. Leave body to air dry. Bath Salts: Add 6 to 10 drops essential oil or blend with healing crystals. Either add to warm bath.
