MASSAGE - Add 10 to 20 drops of pure essential oils per 1 oz of our Massage Lotion or Mixing Oil then massage into the skin for a wonderful massage or quick skin treatment.  Our Mixing Oil has pure healthy ingredients and is the perfect aromatherapy carrier and massage oil.

PERFUME - Our pure essential oils are the plant essence and contain no carrier or filler oils, and they penetrate the skin rapidly.  To have a scent last as an applied fragrance, it is best to mix with our carrier oil.  We recommend the blends Wealthy or Nerola for women and Healthy for men, or try creating your own scent.  Add 20 drops of your favorite oil/blend to 1 tablespoon of Jojoba oil. Note:  Jojoba rarely goes rancid.

PERSONAL CARE: - Add 15 drops of essential oil (peppermint is excellent) to 8 ounces of pure water for mouthwash.  Add your favorite scent to your personal care products e.g. Refresh Bath/Shower Gel, to our Massage Lotion and to Ultimate Shampoo.

DROPS ON A PILLOW - 1-2 drops on either side of pillow, e.g. lavender for headaches or insomnia, pine for asthma, neroli, clary sage or geranium for anxiety.

SKIN CARE TONIC - Mix 4 oz of Distilled water or pure hydrosol with 20 to 30 drops of pure essential oil.  Shake well before each use.  Avoid spraying into eyes.  Refrigerate to enhance refreshing effect.  Use this method for sunburns, poison ivy, poison oak - anytime that direct application would be painful.
SPOT TREATMENT - 1 drop essential oils on affected area, e.g. lavender or tea tree for pimples, blisters, boils or bug bites. Do not spot treat with cinnamon, peppermint, melissa or any other hazardous or skin irritant oils.  Do not pour undiluted essential oil into ears, eyes, nose or any other body cavities.

SPRITZERS - These are easy to make just follow the guidelines below.  Use 4 oz distilled water

*

8-10 drops of essential oils per 4 oz. for facial spray
*

30-40 drops per 4 oz. for a body spray
*

80-100 drops per 4 oz. for a room spray

TOPICAL APPLICATION - Pulse Points, Feet - Mix 1 to 2 drops of essential oil with equal drops of Mixing Oil or 1 dime size drop of Massage Lotion. Rub onto bottoms of feet or into pulse points.  Soles of Feet - This is an extremely popular way to start out and is very effective - and a wonderful thing for children. Lavender, Chamomile, or Composure blend on the soles of the feet of children makes them sleep like babies again. The oils can be used neat on the soles of the feet (4 - 6 drops total - Infants or Toddlers 1-2 drops - older children 3-4 drops), but do dilute them the first few times to check sensitivity level - You must dilute oils in a carrier oil or lotion when using on children.

VAPORIZE: - Essential oils can be used with humidifiers and vaporizers. (Please just check your model first). Add 10-20 drops of undiluted essential oil to the water unit of a cool vaporizer or humidifier.  The ones to try would be peppermint, lemon, eucalyptus and frankincense.

Carriers are necessary, as essential oils should not be used undiluted and, on their own, would be too powerful and too expensive. Furthermore, lubrication for massage is needed. Many carriers have their own therapeutic properties.  Mineral oils (of which baby oil is one) are not recommended, as they have no powers of penetration and inhibit the action of essential oils.  Your carriers should be free of toxins, carcinogens and artificial fragrances.   We have suggested a few of the carriers you may want to use, Neways' Mixing Oil, Massage Lotion, shampoo, bubble bath, moisturizers, bath/shower gel, etc.
