Some good tips for Body Care and Skin Care
- The concept of ‘If a little is good, a lot is better does not apply to essential oils. Use a dropper. For a bath, place 5 to 6 drops of the essential oil of your choice into the tub.
- Stir the essential oil into a cup containing two tablespoons of whole milk and pour the emulsion into the tub. To decrease stress, add lavender, rosemary or sage essential oil to base oil like almond or avocado, and massage.
- Always use the high quality essential oil from a reputed company.
- Never apply neat essential oil on the skin, except for lavender and tea tree oil.
- Consult a doctor if you are pregnant, epileptic or have high blood pressure.
- Quality essential oil usually comes in dark glass bottles with droppers.
- Proceed with inhalations cautiously if you have asthma or are prone to nose bleeds
- Do not use the same essential oil over a long period of time. Most last for a year or two, if kept in a dark bottle in a cool place.
- Blended oils with carrier oils should be used up within 1 to 2 months as the therapeutic value starts to reduce.
