Aromatic Baths An easy, enjoyable way of using oils is to add 6 - 10 drops maximum to a bath. Relax and inhale the vapour. For a childs bath or those with sensitive skin add 2 drops only and dilute in vegetable oil such as almond or grapeseed before adding to the bath. A footbath has many of the benefits of a full bath whilst saving time and water.
Inhalations Add 2 to 4 drops of oil into a bowl of steaming hot water and inhale. Oils may also be inhaled by putting a few drops on a tissue.
Vapourisation In an oil burner the heat from a night light candle can be used to vaporise a few drops of essential oil. Depending on the size of the room and ventilation add between 5 and 15 drops to the bowl of the burner and fill with water. Note: never leave a lit night light unattended or beside curtains
Perfumes Some oils, like Neroli, Jasmin, Patchouli, Sandalwood and YlangYlang, can be used undiluted as perfumes. Dab on a tiny amount.
Massage Often the most effective way of using essential oils is by massaging it in with a carrier oil (see safety notes on blending above). As the oil passes through the skin into the blood stream, the therapeutic actions of the oil and the massage combine together and enhance each others effectiveness.
