Pure Essential Oil

Essential oils penetrate cells and disperse throughout the body very quickly. Since everyone responds differently to the type and amount of essential oils, it is important to start with a very small portion. This will help you establish the amount needed to achieve the desired effect. There are many ways to use essential oils and the list below provides the most common uses:

Diffusion - A diffuser is specially designed to disperse a fine mist of essential oils sufficient to fill a room in a few minutes. It disperses the oil without burning, which can cause the oil to lose much of its therapeutic benefits. Research shows that diffusing certain oils may help to reduce bacteria, fungus, mold and unpleasant orders. In addition, this method can help you relax, relieve tension, help in weight management, improve concentration, and increase mental clarity. Diffused essential oils can also purify the air and fill the room with a fresh, herbal aromatic scent.

Massage - Mix 3-4 drops of essential oil with 1/2 teaspoon of a massage oil with the desired benefits.

Perfume or Cologne - Therapeutic-grade essential oils are natural, refreshing and healthy alternatives to synthetic fragrances and deodorants. Floral oils are specifically long lasting and invigorating as perfumes. Many popular colognes get their base scents from essential oils. Experiment with different blends to customize your own pers
onal scent.

Compress - Rub 1-3 drops on desired location after diluting with a carrier oil. There are a few oils that are suitable for direct application without dilution. This will depend on the oil and the skin sensitivity at that location. Cover with a hot, damp towel and let rest for 10-30 minutes.

Bath or Shower - Add 2-3 drops of essential oil to an unscented shower gel. Be sure to disperse evenly to prevent the stronger oils from stinging sensitive areas. The same technique can be used with your favorite shampoo to add conditioning benefits.

Direct Inhalation - Put several drops on a tissue or handkerchief and inhale. This method offers a very fast absorption into your system and the benefits can be seen almost immediately.

Humidifier/Vaporizer - Essential oils like peppermint, lemon or frankincense make ideal additions to humidifiers or vaporizers. While heavy aromas tend to last longer, citrus and floral scents can also be used to enhance a room.

Cleaning - A few drops of oil can be added to the washing machine or dishwasher to help disinfect and purify. You can also add a few drops in furniture oil to freshen and enhance the wood. Favorites are typically lemon, peppermint, and fresh smelling aromas.
