How to use Essential Oils

Bath – Easily the most popular use of essential oils. You can add 4 or 5 drops to 10ml of oil such as almond oil, grapeseed oil, canola oil or add 4-5 drops of essential oils directly to bath water. Always add essential oils to the tub after it is full and just before getting in (or heat will evaporate the oils before you get in). Slip in, lie back, and rediscover your self!

Shower – Add 3 or 4 drops of essential oils such as grapefruit or eucalyptus to a spare face cloth. Sit cloth on shower shelf or side of tub and let the steam of the hot shower release the essential oils. What a way to wake up and start breathing again!

Massage – Add 4 or 5 drops of your favourite essential oil to 10ml of oil such as almond oil, grapeseed oil, canola oil. If you can’t get someone to massage your whole body, try a neck, scalp, or foot massage. Before bed is great, you’ll sleep like a baby!

Body Lotion/Cream – Add 4-6 drops of essential oils to each 30ml of unscented lotion. Be creative and blend 2 or 3 oils together (4-6 drops in total per 30ml). Now you can smell great all over!

Diffuser – Help stress, relaxation, colds, or add a festive aroma with 6 to 8 drops of essential oils in a burner or diffuser full of hot water.

Inhalation – Put 4 or 5 drops of essential oils into a bowl of steaming water. Place a towel over your head and steam for a few minutes. Try eucalyptus for colds and sinus or Lavender for relaxation. Don’t like steam? Put one drop in the palm of your hand, rub hands together briskly, cup hands over nose and inhale. A quick pick-you-up!

Candles – Add 2 or 3 drops of essential oil to the centre of a pillar candle. Create your own aromatherapy candle. Do not add while candle is lit.
