How can I use essential oils?

There are many ways in which you can enjoy the luxury of essential oils. Here are a few suggestions:
 

Baths

 

Bathing is a relaxing, therapeutic experience in itself and can increase the psychological effect of the esential oil. Bathing is one of the most popular ways to use essential oils. You may simply add between 5 and 10 drops of a chosen oil to your bath or use a blend of more than one oil. We can supply a range of our own blended bath oils or blend any mix of essential oils to your specific requirements

 

Massage

 

Massage is a potent stress-relieving treatment which has been recognised by many different cultures. For massage, blend 7-10 drops of essential oil in one tablespoon of carrier oil. We can also offer holistic massage through a qualified masseuse.

 

Vapourised Oils

 

Vapourised oils are a convenient and smoke free way of scening a room. The fragrance adds atmosphere to the home and certain oils can be used to create a specific mood. Using an oil burner put a few drops of oil into the bowl with either water or carrier oil. Alternatively you could place a few drops in a bowl of water on a radiator.
