General use of Aromatherapy

There are many ways to use essentials oils and discover the benefits of aromatherapy. The most common ways include inhaling, massaging into the skin, compressors, heating oils, using a burner and adding a few drops to your bath.

Essential oils are concentrated and should not come into direct contact with your skin, unless they have been diluted using a base or carrier oil. Carrier oils have a natural odour and are easily absorbed. popular carrier oils include Jojoba, Almond, Sunflower, Avocado, Wheatgerm, Apricot Kernel, Grapeseed, Soya and Peach Kernel.

Starting with a base oil and adding a few drops of your favourite essential oil, you can create your own aromatherapy blends. As a general rule, add 3-5 drops of essential oil into 10mls of base oil for use on adults. For children, use 1-3 drops per 10mls of base oil. Remember to store your blends in an airtight bottle or jar, preferably with a childsafe lid.

It is important to remember that some essential oils can have seriouse side effects if not used correctly. Some oils reduce or change the effectiveness of certain medications and you may need to use modern medicine in conjunction with aromatherapy to remedy a particular ailment. It is important to consult a trained Aromatherapist before self administering any form of aromatherapy for serious medical conditions.

Using Pure Essential Oils

Massage

Essential oils are easily absorbed through the skin and work wonderfully when massaged into the skin. Add five drops of your favourite essential oil to your carrier oil and shake well. Rub the mixture in your hands and massage the area of your choice. Tip: When you massage the oil into the soles of your feet, it will penetrate every cell of your body within 20 minutes.

Inhaling

There are two main ways that you can inhale essential oils. Place a few drops on a tissue or hankerchief and inhale as regularly as you wish. Alternatively, add a few drops to a bowl of very hot water, place a towel over your head and the bowl and breather deeply for three to five minutes. Remember to keep your eyes close with this method. Tip: Do not inhale directly from the bottle, some oils  are so concentrated that they may burn your smell receptors inside your nose.

Compressors

Compressors are applied directly to a cut, injury, sprain, pain or used to rid headaches. Add five drops of esstential oils to 100mls of warm water. Soak a cloth or cotton wool ball in the water, squeeze off the excess water and apply to the affected area.

Oil Burners

Fill an oil burner of your choice (usually a small bowl above a tea light candle) with three quarters of water and add three to five drops of essential oils. This is a wonderful method to fragrant a room and you still receive the benefits of aromatherapy through inhaling the fragrant air.

Baths

Aromatic baths can be detoxifying, relaxing or reviving - it all depends on the essential oil you choose. Add two to four drops to a warm bath and stir until the oil is evenly dispersed. !0 minutes in the scented water will do the trick. Tip: You don't have to bath your whole body, why not try a foot or hand bath.

Aromatherapy Do's and Don'ts 

Here is a guide of important things to remember for the safe use of aromatherapy.

• Never use essential oils directly onto the skin - they must be diluted first using a recommended carrier oil.
• Always avoid contact with the eyes.
• Avoid using citrus oils, in particularly Bergamot on the skin if you plan to be in the sun or around ultra violet light.
• Geranium and Ylang Ylang should never be used on red or inflamed skin.
• Rosemary should not be used by people who have Epilepsy.
• Do not store bottles of blends in direct sunlight.
• Always read the label carefully. Some oils last longer are better with age while others only last for a short period.
• It's best to avoid all essential oils while pregnant as some oils may increase the chance of miscarriage
