Essential Oil Uses

DISCLAIMER
Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be used with respect and extreme care. Never take essential oils internally, or without the guidance of a professional aromatherapist. Always be cautious when using essential oils on children and during pregnancy. Store all essential oils out of reach of children. This guide should not be used for prescribing or diagnosing. It is not a substitute for professional medical attention. Consult a holistic doctor for treatment of health problems. Virgin Fragrances Inc. assumes no responsibility if you choose to prescribe for yourself without the approval of a licensed medical doctor.


MASSAGE
Essential oils can produce remarkable therapeutic results when used with massage. They have the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin tissues and are then circulated throughout the entire body/mind system. Inhaling the aromatic vapors also has an immediate and beneficial effect upon the mind and emotions. For internal problems, massage the appropriate oil(s) (diluted) over the affected area. Add 10-12 drops of the chosen essential oil(s) per 1 ounce of massage oil (this is a 2% dilution).


BATH
Bathing with essential oils is a delightful experience for the body, mind, and soul, and one of the most effective ways to benefit from Aromatherapy treatment. In hot water, essential oils are readily absorbed into the body tissues and the aromatic vapors inhaled. This benefits the entire body/mind system. After the tub is filled, mix 3-8 drops of the chosen essential oil(s) into the water. Breathe deeply, relax and forget your worries !!!!


INHALATION
The easiest and most effective way to obtain and enjoy the benefits of essential oils is to simply inhale their aromatic fragrance directly from the bottle. Apply a few drops on a tissue or handkerchief to carry with you to inhale through the day, or on your pillow at night.


AROMATIC DIFFUSERS
There are a variety of diffusers available which effectively vaporize and disperse essential oils directly into the air. These devices are an excellent way to refresh the air, kill airborne bacteria, promote and emotional health, and create various moods within your home and office environment. We do not recommend burning a tea light candle that contains PARAFFIN Wax.


PERFUME
Use essential oils as a pure and simple alternative to synthetic commercial perfumes which may contain harsh chemicals and animal products, and may be tested on animals. Rub a drop of your favorite (non-irritating, non-photosensitive) essential oil(s) onto your skin and enjoy their mood-enhancing, aromatic qualities.
