Uses Of Essential Oils



In this section I have listed some different ways you ca use these oils. Using oils can be alot of fun and you can benefit from them therapeutically. Of course, you need to pay special attention to safety cautions and use the oils with care. Below are a few ways in which essential oils can be used in your household and lifestyle. *Remember my warnings*





Easy Inhalation:

Place a few (3-4) drops of essential oil on a tissue. Place the tissue near your nose and inhale.

Steam Inhalation:

Boil 1-2 cups of water. Pour the water into a bowl and add 3-7 drops of oil to the water. Place your nose about 12" away from the bowl and inhale. Don't inhale the steam constantly. Steam inhalation can help with colds and flues but also use of energizing or relaxing oils can make this method useful any time of day or night.

Room Freshening:

Use the steam inhalation method noted above but don't directly inhale into the bowl. Use up to 10 drops of oil. Other methods including use of an aromatherapy diffuser or lamp scent ring available through many aromatherapy companies.

General Household Freshening:

Add a few drops of oil to your trash can, laundry wash, drain, vacuum bag filter, or on a tissue for placement in your drawers.

Bug Repellent:

Many essential oils including citronella, lavender, and peppermint are a natural repellent against insects. Sprinkle a few drops of essential oils near your doorways and windows to help repel insects. *Be sure to read all safety data on the oils you use as some oils may not be suitable for use around pets.*

Massage:

Add 10-20 drops of essential oil to 1 ounce carrier oil such as sweet almond oil and massage onto yourself or partner. Keep away from eyes and genital areas. Essential oils should only be applied undiluted by those who are very experienced in aromatherapy. Be sure to also read the safety data for the essential oils you choose to use.

Bath:

Add 5-7 drops essential oil to 1 ounce carrier oil. Add this blend to your running bath water and mix well before getting into the tub. Be sure to also read the safety data for the essential oils you choose to use.
