Essential Oils can be used in the following ways:
- Medical treatment like Insomnia, headaches, migraine, etc.
- Massage
- Inhalations
- Facial Steam
- Diffusers
- Medical treatment
Essential oils can be applied to the body in three ways:
- Applied directly to the skin
- Inhaled
- Ingested
These methods are further subdivided into different usage/application ways. For instance, you can apply essential oils topically using compresses and sprays. However, the choice of essential oil and the results desired affect the method of application. While some essential oils are irritating to the skin because of their chemistry, these would need more dilution or might better be used by inhalation.
Some points to be taken care of, when using essential oils:
- Do not take the oils internally unless recommended by a qualified and expert practitioner.
- Keep all the essential oils out of reach of kids and flame since essential oils are highly inflammable.
