How to Use Essential Oils ?

If you arenot one of thesensitive people for whom the consumption of essential oils is forbidden, theoralroute(internal use) remains the mosteffective way to consume these oils.

In general,1 to 2 drops, deposited on a neutral tablet, are enough.

Strictly follow the precautions for use;

Dermal route

There are two types of applications: 

  1. En onction ;: very brief and localized.

  2. In massage: On extended areas with a long-lasting application.

When they areauthorized for this use, essential oils are very well assimilated by theskin, provided they are diluted in avegetable oil. The more diluted the essential oil is, the less powerful it will be and therefore potentially less aggressive for the skin.
