To use in the bath: Use in TOTAL, 6-8 drops of oil, mix this with a small amount if milk (full fat better, but not essential), this will disperse oil in the bath water, and ensure that it doesn’t just sit on the surface. Add towards the end, as the heat will start to evaporate the “top” notes of the citrus oils.

 

To use in a burner: 4-6 drops in water

 

To use in compress: 4 drops in bowl of warm/cold water (depending on need), dip facecloth in, wring out and place on area needed – eg using lavender for contraction/lower back pain.

 

To use in cream/oil : in 10 mls of oil/cream add 4 drops of essential oil (in TOTAL if using a blend)
