Suggested Uses for Essential Oils
Aromatherapy
Combine essential oils with special massage techniques to relieve stress, soothe the skin or help ease congestion. Many books on aromatherapy techniques can guide you in choosing the right oils to meet your needs.
Body Care
Give your favorite unscented lotions, bath oils, creams and hair care products an exotic lift by mixing in a touch of essential oil. Or give your hair and scalp a refreshing conditioning treatment by placing a few drops of rosemary or lavender oil directly on your natural bristle hairbrush (which also conditions and protects the bristles).
Crafts
Create a festive mood around the holidays or a sweetly scented mood for spring by decorating your home with the fragrance of essential oils. Potpourri, incense, candles and herbal fragrance pillows make unique, personalized gifts. Include a small bottle of essential oil with your potpourri gift, so the recipient can refresh the mixture throughout the year.
Culinary
Treat yourself to a distinctive natural flavoring in candies and confections. Pure peppermint oil has been used commercially for many years to make candy canes and chocolate mints.
Environmental Fragrance
Bring your favorite essential oil into your bedroom, bathroom or any room in your home by using a diffuser or by placing a drop of oil on a light bulb before turning it on. This same technique can bring a refreshing reminder of home into a hotel room.
Inhalation and Facial Steam
Steaming hot water with a few drops of a soothing oil like chamomile can be a wonderfully relaxing way to open the pores before a facial treatment. After adding the oil to the steaming water, place a towel over your head and breathe the steam in deeply for several minutes. Take care not to make the water too hot, and keep your face at least six inches from the steaming water.
Massage
Enhance the naturally sensuous experience of a massage by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil to an unscented massage oil. With the appropriate oil, your massage can be relaxing, muscle-soothing or energizing.
Personal Fragrance
Unwind with a spa-like scented bath by adding a few drops of essential oil to your bath water. Or make your own custom blended perfume oil by blending a few drops each of your favorite essential oils with a high-quality vegetable oil. Jojoba oil (a plant wax) is highly recommended as the base oil for perfume oils; it will not become rancid and alter your fragrance. Perfume oils are very concentrated and long-lasting; for a less concentrated, lighter scent, make your own perfume by blending essential oils with a pure vegetable-source alcohol.
Cedar Oil as Insect Repellant
Cedar oil, which is extracted from the bark of cedar trees, is a safe and natural insect repellent that is particularly effective against fleas. By mixing pure cedar oil with other types of natural oils, such as citronella and lemongrass oil, you can repel mosquitoes as well.
