Various Methods for Aromatherapy
March 1, 2007
The various essential oils are mixed in a proportion of 2.5%-5% into base materials like cream, lotion etc and applied to the skin. The proportion is kept to a small quantity to reduce the side effects as larger portions may lead to imbalances.
The other way to use the essential oils is to mix it with water while bathing. It heals the skin, reduces pain and enhances blood circulation. However one should make sure that the oil gets dissolved in water or else it will not stay in one particular area. Hence it would not be beneficial in the entirety.
It can also be inhaled in various ways to reduce respiratory and many other disorders. One of the ways is steam inhalation and the others are putting some drops on the handkerchief or pillow which aids one to clear the negativities. The essential aromas can also be scattered into the air using candles or incense sticks.
A compressor is made using drops of the oils and used in case of menstrual problems. Salves are used to combat muscular problems. Mouthwashes mixed with essential oils help in reducing bad breath and problems of sore throat. Another possible way is to mix it with the creams and gels and apply it all over the body to enhance the aura.
