Ways of using aromatherapy & essential oils                  

Safety Notice

In a Burner: Fill the bowl with water, add three or four drops of your chosen oils and light the nightlight candle.  Alternatively you could use an electrical burner. 

In a Bath: Blend three or four drops of chosen oils with either a little milk or alcohol (e.g. vodka).  Put into the bath just before you get in and have a pleasant soak.  For children blend either one or two drops of chamomile or lavender only with milk.

In Creams or Oils: Essential Oil should always be diluted when being used on the skin, (although it is safe to use Lavender and Tea Tree Oil neat).  Blends with creams/oils can be created using a non perfumed cream/oil.  Generally three drops per teaspoon of oil/cream is recommended.  Or use 5 drops of essential oil in 20mls of carrier oil such as a light vegetable oil like grapeseed oil, almond oil or Aroma-Clear Non-Spoil Professional Base (does not stain clothes, pillows etc. Contact me at aromaki@eircom.net for this oil).
