How do I use essential oils?

In the bath:
Using essential oils in the bath is an extremely effective way to influence our mood. Add the essential oils to a spoonful or two of soapy water and add it to the bath water just before you get in – otherwise the oils will evaporate before you have a chance to enjoy them or benefit from their inhalation and absorption by the lungs.
Dosage:up to 10 drops in 10 ml (2 teaspoons) of oil or soap solution, or directly into water. Be careful when using oils in the bath as some can cause stinging. Lemon, orange, grapefruit, anise, camphor, clove, eucalyptus, ginger, juniper, black pepper, peppermint, sage, thyme, mint and thyme should be used in very small doses no more than 2 drops in a bath. Alternatively, you can apply a combination of oils to massage the body, then sit in a warm bath for a while.

Footbaths :
A footbath is useful when one is immobile or too sensitive for other methods. The foot bath is an extremely effective stress reliever and tonic at the end of a hard day.
Dosage: use 4 drops in a basin of warm water, immersing the feet for about 20 minutes.

Body massage:
Dosage: up to 6 drops in 10-15 ml (2-3 teaspoons) of base oil or lotion.

Facial massage:
The skin on the face requires special attention, since it tends to be more sensitive than other parts of the body, shows more signs of stress and toxic overload, and is generally more exposed to air, sun and atmospheric pollutants. For face massage, choose the appropriate base oil and use a lower dose of essential oil than for body massage. Since the face is a small area, 5 ml of the total mixture is usually sufficient.
Dosage : 1-3%, or 1-3 drops in 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of the base oil (use an even higher dilution for very sensitive skins).

Local massage:
Can be applied to small areas, for example joint stiffness, sprains and cramps (eg, stomach and period pains). Since the area covered in topical massage usually requires rapid action, the dilution used is often lower than that for the body or face, but always make sure you use a safe dose.
Dosage: 5%, or 10 drops, in 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of base oil. Make sure you do not exceed the maximum safe dose.

Compress:
Some conditions require quick action, so low dilutions are used. Sprains, abrasions, bruises, sunburns, insect bites, rashes, large areas of infected skin and inflammation respond well to this method.
Dosage: up to 12 drops in 100 ml of water, hot or cold as the case may be. Shake the water with the oil and quickly soak a piece of sterile gauze in it, wring it out and apply it to the area that needs treatment. The treatment can be increased by the application of cold or warm as the case may be.

Direct Application:
Cuts, insect bites, blemishes, herpes, warts and athlete's foot can be treated with pure tea tree oil and or lavender. Apply with a cotton swab. If the area is dry and cracked, apply a protective cream after 10 minutes. 

Room Scenting:
Essential oils can be diffused into the air through dry heat, steam or with the help of an exhaust fan. This is an effective way to change your mood, clean and freshen the atmosphere of your space or benefit from the properties of essential oils through the respiratory system. Use the special devices, essential oil burning lamps by adding water to the surface and reso wax to the base or put a few drops on your fireplace wood or candles to clear the atmosphere of cigarette smoke and perfume your space wonderfully depending on the mood your.

Inhalations:
Use for colds, flu, sinusitis and asthma, or in any condition that requires quick relief from respiratory congestion or emotional problems. Use 3-5 drops of the appropriate oil in a cup of warm (not boiling) water and inhale.
Alternatively, fill a bowl with warm water, add the appropriate essential oils, then sit over the bowl with a towel over your head forming a canopy to keep the fumes in. This can be dangerous and should not be used on children without adult supervision. People with thin, sensitive skin or skin prone to varicose veins should not use this method.
Note:keep your eyes closed to avoid irritation.

Spraying:
Fill a plant spray bottle with water. For every 300 ml add 8-10 drops of essential oil. Shake the bottle well before each use, because the oils do not dissolve in water. Use as an air freshener or insecticide using suitable oils. Avoid the spray in the eyes as this can cause irritation. Do not spray on painted surfaces, as oily oils may stain the paint.
