How To Use
1. Aromatic Use
Diffuser: Add a few drops of essential oil to a diffuser filled with water. This disperses the oil into the air, providing both aroma and therapeutic benefits.
Inhalation: Simply inhale the aroma directly from the bottle or place a drop on a tissue and breathe in.
2. Topical Use
Dilution: Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil (like coconut, jojoba, or almond oil) before applying to the skin. A common ratio is 1-2 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil.
Application: Apply the diluted oil to areas like your wrists, temples, feet, or behind your ears.
Do not use on children. Consult a medical professional before use.
3. Bath
Mixing: Add a few drops of essential oil to a carrier oil or bath salt before adding it to your bath water. This helps the oil disperse in the water and prevents skin irritation.
Relaxation: Enjoy a relaxing soak while benefiting from the aromatic properties of the oils.
Safety Tips
Always Dilute: Essential oils are potent and should be diluted to avoid skin irritation.
Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply essential oils near your eyes, ears, or mucous membranes.
Check for Allergies: Test a small amount on your skin first to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction.
Consult a Professional: If you’re pregnant, nursing, or have health conditions, or have children, consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils.
