How to use essential oils safely and effectively.

Dry Inhalation

• Put 1-2 drops onto a tissue and inhale deeply.
• Put 1-2 drops onto the palm of your hand, gently rub both palms together, cup over the nose and inhale. This has a stronger effect than inhaling from an open tissue.
• Drop 1-3 drops of oil or blend onto a cotton ball, put it in a ziplock bag and inhale the scent whenever needed; e.g. to refresh and uplift when driving, traveling, exploring, and so on.

 Commonly used refreshing oils include Focus, Harmony, and Rose Heaven.
 
Steam Inhalation
Drop 1-2 drops onto a wet washcloth in the shower or bath, cup over your nose and inhale. A great morning pick-me-up or evening relaxation.
 
Stimulating blends include Detoxify, Energize, Focus, and Immune Stim.
Relaxing blends include Cramp Ease, Relaxation, Stress Release, and Sweet Dreams.

Diffuser
Drop 3-8 drops of the oil or blend into the water for any diffuser with a heat source or with an ultrasonic diffuser. Most oils and blends are suitable for diffusing.

Perfume or anointing
Put 1 drop of the essential oil or blend in a dab of lotion or massage oil and apply to the skin.  Rose Heaven is perfect for this!

Bath
First dilute 4-8 drops in massage oil and then swish into a warm bath. 
 
Traum Ease - Therapeutic liniment for Massage / Pain
Use 10-20 drops of Traum Ease linament per 10 ml of coconut oil (a 5-10% dilution) and massage into the problem area (e.g. the feet, shoulders, nape, forehead, abdomen, low-back, and so on).
