SUGGESTED USES/APPLICATIONS FOR ESSENTIAL OILS BATH Bathing with essential oils is a delightful experience for the body, mind and soul. It is one of the most effective ways to benefit from Aromatherapy. In warm water, essential oils are readily absorbed into the body tissues and the aromatic vapors effortlessly inhaled. This benefits the entire body/mind system. After the tub is filled, add 5-10 drops of your specifically chosen essential oil/blend to water. Breath deeply, relax and let all your worries decimate into the water. For dry, sensitive skin add essential oil(s) to a carrier oil (jojoba, grapeseed, etc....) MASSAGE Essential oils can produce incredible results when used in massage. They have the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin tissues and then are circulated throughout the entire mind/body system. Inhaling the aromatic vapors also have an immediate effect upon the mind and emotions. Massages are therapeutically beneficial for internal problems, stress, anxiety, depression, lymphatic drainage, weight loss, detoxification, circulation, easing pain, and sore muscles. Custom blend essential oils for your massage to your specific needs. SKIN CARE Essential oils easily penetrate into the underlying layers of the skin (dermas), promoting regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin cells. They can be purchased pre-blended (make sure you read your ingredient listings - look out for mineral oil, it is natural, but clogs pores) essential oils can also be added to facial cleansers, toners, creams and lotions you may purchase unscented skin care and add 10-15 drops of essential oil to 1 ounce of liquid.
