Essential oils can be used in a variety of ways, depending on their properties and the benefits sought. Here are some common ways of using essential oils:
ATMOSPHERIC DIFFUSION
Atmospheric diffusion is one of the most popular ways of using essential oils. It involves pouring a few drops into a diffuser, which disperses them into the surrounding air. This method allows you to benefit from the therapeutic properties of essential oils while creating a pleasant atmosphere.
TOPICAL APPLICATION
Some essential oils can be diluted in a vegetable oil and applied directly to the skin. This enables transcutaneous absorption of the active ingredients, providing localized relief. It is important to always respect the recommended dilutions, and to carry out a skin test beforehand.
INHALATION
To inhale an essential oil, pour a few drops into a bowl of hot water or an inhaler. This method is particularly useful for clearing the respiratory tract and promoting mental clarity.
