How to use Essential Oils?

Topical Application:

Essential oil is very concentrated to be applied directly to the skin. They need to be diluted with a good carrier oil (e.g., almond oil or coconut oil) and then use for massage or at the affected part of the body.  One can use the essential oils in the bath as well or mixing in shampoos, soaps, or body wash. A general guideline on the dilution ratio is given in our blog here.

Inhalation:

The most common method of using essential oil is to inhale directly or via steam inhalation.

Oral Intake:

Ingestion of essential oils should be strictly avoided. Essential oils are way too concentrated and can have adverse effects when ingested directly.
