Different Ways to Use Essential Oils
Posted by tracy tse on
Essential oils interact with the body through the nose and they are also absorbed through the skin. There is also a benefit in just surrounding yourself with the energetic value of the oil.
1. Bath
Essential oils can be used in a bath both for therapy and pleasure! Be careful not to use an oil that is sensitizing or irritating on the skin. Add the essential oil added directly to the bath, or - better - it can be diluted in a tablespoon of vegetable oil, a teaspoon of honey, or half a cup of milk. The safest oils for everyone to use in the bath are Lavender and Camomile because of their gentle non-irritant qualities.

2.Diffusers
You can completely transform the character of a room in just a few minutes using a few drops of a favourite essential oil or synergy blend in one of our diffusers. Aromatherapy diffusers are also ideal for cleansing and purifying the air. Aromatherapy diffusers disperse essential oils into the room in a number of different ways.
3. Direct Application
Some essential oils such as lavender and tea tree can be applied directly to the skin to soothe minor insect bites, scratches and burns.

Massage
Aromatherapy massage is one of the best ways to experience aromatherapy essential oils, combining as it does the benefit of touch and the therapeutic effect of the essential oils. Massage relaxes muscles and improves circulation and lymph flow, soothes physical tension and relieves mental stress. Essential oils should always be diluted in a good quality carrier oil before applying to skin. The normal dilution is about 10-20 drops of essential oil to 30ml of carrier oil such Sweet Almond Oil . Sensitive skin may require half this concentration, or even less.
