MASSAGE

Massage is a relaxing experience in itself and it also ensures that the oils are effectively absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream. It is also useful to rub those particular parts of the body that are causing discomfort; for example, peppermint (in dilution) can be rubbed on the stomach in a clockwise direction to ease indigestion; marjoram can help to relax the neck and shoulders if they are stiff.  Please visit our range of Finer Fragrance Pure Essential Oil to read about what each different oil can offer.  We also recommend the Directory of Essential Oil book which is one of the most informative aromatherapy books on the market or the wonderful quick reference of our Decoders.

BATH

One of the easiest and most pleasurable ways of using essential oils is to add 5 to 10 drops of oil to the bath water when the tub is full.  Aromatic bathing has traditionally been used as an enjoyable and sensual experience, especially by the Romans, but also to treat a wide range of complaints, including irritating skin conditions, muscular aches and pains, rheumatism and arthritis. An essence such as ylang ylang can be enjoyed as a euphoric aromatic experience in itself; chamomile or lavender can help to relieve stress-related complaints such as anxiety or insomnia; rosemary or pine can help soothe aching limbs. Take care to avoid those oils that may be irritating to the skin.

Add 5 - 10 drops of your favorite Finer Fragrance Pure Essential Oil/s to your bath water along with 20ml of milk just before turning the tap off. Agitate briskly as the milk acts as a natural dispersant for the oil. You can also add 5mL of your chosen Finer Fragrance Carrier Oil to maintain optimal skin conditioning.  Lay back & unwind, you deserve it!

 FOOT BATH

The feet suffer more stresses than almost any other part of the body. They have to carry all that weight throughout the day and then maybe dance all night. The best reward you can give them is a soothing aromatherapy foot soak. It warms and relaxes all the tiny support muscles, releases trapped nerves, improves the blood circulation and soothes aches and pains.   The right essential oil will make it even more pleasurable. And since you have to sit while you soak, you get to inhale the aroma molecules and enjoy a moment of stillness in a busy day. All you need is a large basin or square bucket, hot water, a towel, a comfortable seat at the most relaxing height and the right essential oils. Just add them, drop by drop, to the water before you slip your feet in. You need up to eight drops per nine liters (two gallons) of water.

Blend 5 to 8 drops of your favorite Finer Fragrance Pure Essential Oil/s into a large bowl of warm water or a foot spa (you can even add some bath salts into it if you wish). Soak your feet for 10 to 15 minutes, rinse with cool clean water. If you have dry feet you can massage in your choice of Finer Fragrance Carrier Oil or use the Finer Feet range of products.    Pamper your weary transporters, they deserve it!

aching feet:  4 drops thyme and 4 drops chamomile  -or­ 4 drops eucalyptus and 3 drops pine

NEAT APPLICATION

Generally speaking, essential oils are not applied to the skin in an undiluted form. However, there are some exceptions to the rule: lavender, for example, can be applied undiluted to burns, cuts and insect bites; tea tree to spots; and lemon to warts. Certain essential oils such as sandalwood, jasmine or rose make excellent perfumes, dabbed neat on the skin. Beware of those oils that are known to be phototoxic (discolor the skin when exposed to direct sunlight) such as bergamot; irritants such as red thyme; or skin sensitizers such as cinnamon bark.

BLENDING OILS AND LOTIONS

The essential oils are prepared much as they would be for a massage. 
A few drops of essential oil can also be mixed into a blending cream or carrier oil.  In some conditions, such as cold sores (herpes) and athlete's foot, it is better to use an alcohol-based lotion rather than an oil or cream. This can be made by adding 6 drops of essential oil to 5ml (1tsp) of isopropyl alcohol or vodka. This mixture can be further diluted in a liter (1,3/4 pt) of boiled and cooled water for treating open cuts or sores, such as those caused by chickenpox or genital herpes.
You can also blend 3 or 4 drops into 10ml / 1/3oz, of your favorite Finer Fragrance oil/oils into our Blending Cream or Carrier Oil to design your own natural perfume, Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood are just divine.
A range of small jars and bottles are available for this very purpose.
