Different ways to use Essential
oils:
Vaporization:
Filling a room with the aroma of your choice is the easiest
way to enjoy essential oils. Add a few drops to a saucer of
water and place on a radiator or in a burner.
Massage: You can blend essential oils with carrier
oil like almond, vegetable or apricot oil and use when you receive
or give a massage. Blend 6 drops of essential oils with about 3-4 tsp of
the carrier oil; if the scent is too strong use more carrier
oil. Massage the oil into the area of the body that is tense,
if you are using it to relax rub it into your temples and the
neck so that the fragrance reaches your nose and inhaling the
essential oils will help you calm down.
Note: A carrier oil is an oil often referred to
as a base oil. It can be used to dilute pure essential oils
before a massage. Usually a vegetable oil such as Olive is chosen.
Different carrier oils offer different properties for the skin.
True carrier oils are generally cold-pressed.
Here is a small list of a few:
~ Sweet almond
~ Grape seed
~ Avocado
~ Olive oil
~ Sesame
~ Evening primrose
~ Sunflower
~ Jojoba oil
~ Emu oil
~ Nuts:
~ ~ Walnut
~ ~ Peanut
~ ~ Pecan
~ ~ Macadamia nut
Fractionated coconut oil, Sweet almond oil and
grapeseed oil are the most popular carrier oils.
Baths: Bath Oils Essential Oils Only add
non-irritant oils to bathwater such as Roman Chamomile and Lavender
without diluting first, others to be safe dilute in a carrier
oil first then add to your bath water, add the oils after the
bath is drawn and not while the water is running otherwise most
of it will be lost in the steam of the running water.
