Wind 'n Water

Enjoy the wonderful aroma and benefits of essential oils; they can be vaporized in the air, used in your bath and added to your personal beauty regime. Here are some ways to combine and use essential oils with wind (to fragrance the air) and water (in the bath or shower)...



Essential Oils in the Air PDF Print Email

air_sprayAroma Lamp: an aroma lamp has a small container that is heated after water and essential oils are added. When the water becomes hot, the aromatic vapors are dispersed into the air.

Candles: 1 – 2 drops – light the candle and wait until the wax begins to melt and then add the oils to the warm wax. Essential oils are inflammable so be careful not to get them on the wick.

Diffusors: 1 – 6 drops – these are especially made for use with essential oils. The idea of a diffusor, whether made of clay, glass or metal, is that it can heat the oils, so allowing their molecules to be released into the air. There are different types of diffusors on the market. You can choose a smaller or larger unit depending on the size of the area to be fragranced.

Run a warm bath and ensure the door and windows are closed. When the tub is sufficiently filled, add up to 10 drops of essential oil to the water, circulating it throughout. As the oil is moved, the scent will rise with the steam of the water.

Don’t be tempted to use more than 8 – 10 drops of essential oil in a full bath.

To avoid floating unmixed oil its best to mix the essential oils with either 1 tablespoon full cream, milk or almond oil before adding. Run the bath and add oils just before getting into the bath or the precious essences may evaporate before you can get the full benefit.

Now get in, take your time, and enjoy the wonderful aroma while you soak!

 
Bath Oils, Lotion, Vinegars and Cream PDF Print Email

lotions_creams_oilsTaking a bath is one of the best ways to indulge yourself and promote self-healing at the same time. A tranquil, relaxing bath can work wonders on your mood. A hot bath can help to combat the early onset of ailments such as the common cold. A quick, cold bath can invigorate and provide a "pick me up" when we feel like we are in a slump.

The skin is our largest organ of elimination, so we can help our body's natural healing ability along by introducing natural bath products and essential oils to our bath time.
