HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS:

 
The most popular or common way to use essential oils is through an Aromatherapy Massage.

This is one of the oldest and best methods to enjoy aromatherapy due to the added benefit the massage brings. Massage is also the most efficient method because the skin covers a large area and readily absorbs the oils into the bloodstream.

Blend your chosen blend or single oil into your choice of carrier.  Use a 3% dilution. For example, 6 drops in 10ml of carrier oil.
The most common carrier oil is Sweet Almond oil, which is thin enough to be quickly absorbed by the skin. 

For Skin Care:

Facial Steam:

for skin care, part of a deep cleansing routine: 5 or 6 drops in a pint of warm water or in facial steamer.

Facial Masque:

add 3 to 5 drops to moistened clay, honey, mashed avocado, egg white, etc.

Facial Oil Blend:

Use a 2% dilution of Essential Oils in your chosen carrier oil. A great oil for the face is rosehip oil, to which you might want to add evening primrose or borage oil. You can also add Essential Oils to an unscented cream or lotion.

For sinus or bronchial problems:

Inhalation:

add 5 to 7 drops to a bowl of steaming hot water, put a 'towel tent' over the head to capture the steam. Close your eyes and inhale until water cools or until you stop smelling the oil. Repeat, if necessary, every four or five hours.

General use:

Oil Burner:

Pour boiling water in your burner, place a candle underneath and add 6 to 10 drops in the water.

Bath:

Add 6 to 10 drops to your favorite carrier oil, and then add to the water.

Compress:

Excellent for topical application to ease pain, from strained muscles, menstrual cramps, etc. Add 4 to 7 drops of Essential Oil to a bowl of warm water. Swish the surface of the water with a cloth, wring out, apply to area, repeat when cloth cools.

Spritzer:

The amount of Essential Oil used depends on the purpose of the spritzer. To 4 ounces of distilled water add:
  • 8 to 10 drops for the face
  • 30 to 40 drops for an all over body spritzer
  • 80 to 100 drops for a room spray/air freshener
Shake well, spray. This mixture will require a lot of shaking, since the essential oils do not dissolve in water. You may first dissolve the essential oils in an ounce of perfumer's alcohol or high proof vodka then top the mixture off with approximately three ounces of distilled water.

Jacuzzi:

add three drops of essential oil per person. This may be repeated every 30 minutes. Be aware that some sources warn that the oils may do damage to plastic plumbing.

Shower:

After a shower, apply 5 to 7 drops to a damp wash cloth. Rub briskly all over the body. Preferably allow to air dry.

Bath Salts:

Use a blend of Epsom Salts (good for sore, aching muscles), Sea Salt, Baking Soda. Add 6 to 10 drops of your chose oil blend. Either add to warm bath, or use as a 'salt glow' rub before the bath. Adding a spoonful of your favorite carrier oil to the salt glow leaves your skin feeling soft and silky, but makes the tub harder to clean.

Household Use:

Laundry:

Essential Oils may be added to the washing machine, or a few drops put on a cotton cloth and added to the dryer. If using in the washer, the warnings above about possible damage to plastic or hard rubber parts would apply.

Adding a teaspoon of Lemon Oil to the washer will remove greasy/oily smells. (A great trick for Massage therapists!)

Lavender Essential Oils in the dryer can scent bed linens

To really preserve the scent of Essential Oils used in the dryer, add them and run on a 'no heat' cycle for a few minutes at the end of the drying cycle.

General Cleaning:

Use Lemon or Grapefruit Essential Oil, possibly with a touch of Tea Tree oil added, in the water you clean with. Wipe down kitchen counters and your bathroom with these cleansing, germicidal oils. Lemon Oil in water does a wonderful job cleaning the bathroom mirror, as well as all the fixtures.

Flavoring:

A lot of Essential Oils can be added to cooking. Just one or two drops usually do the trick.
