DIRECT APPLICATION:  - Undiluted Lavender oil and Tea Tree oil may be applied directly to skin (spot treatments), but we recommend diluting all other essential oils.  Click Here for some of our recommendations. This is especially important for first-time users, children and those with sensitive skin.  Never put essential oil into the eyes.  If you accidentally do, use our Mixing Oil or olive oil to dilute. DO NOT rinse with water; oil and water do not mix.  Using water will push oil deeper into sensitive tissues.

AIR SPRAYS - Sprays are an effective method of using the essential oils for various reasons.  Water forms the base of the formula, and as essential oils are insoluble in water they can be dissolved in alcohol first.  Method:  1) Dissolve essential oils in alcohol and mix well.  2) Add alcohol and essential oil mixture to water.  3) Pour into a spray bottle.  4) Shake well before use.  5)  Keep out of the reach of children.

BATHS, BODY - Mix 5 to 8 drops essential oil with our bath & Shower gel  or Bubble Bath, then add to the bathwater. Relax in tub for 20 minutes and then rest for 1/2 hour.   If you try to add the oil 'neat', or without a carrier, the oil will pool on top of the water, this could cause skin irritation.  Relax in tub for 20 minutes and then rest for at least 1 hour.

3-4 drops for children who have not reached puberty.  Soak for 10 minutes.

1-2 drops for small children.  Soak for 5 minutes.  Orange is calming. (Dilute skin irritant oils in 5 ml carrier oil before adding to the water)

BATH, FOOT - Prepare a foot bath in a large bowl. Cold water will stimulate circulation and be refreshing on a hot summer day when you feel heavy and tired.  A hot foot bath helps relax the whole body and helps soothe women with gynecological problems, like cramps and weak or missed periods, as well as poor circulation.  2 drops in a foot bath, e.g. cypress for sweaty feet; and peppermint for sore and tired feet.  Soak feet in water for 15-20 minutes.
