Pure essential oils have many therapeutic uses and are not limited only to cosmetic care. Aromatherapy as an application and use of essentials oils is known. It is a vast and wide field of study and involves professional expertise or at least some extent of knowledge for safe and effective practice.
Natural essential oils can be used in mainly three ways-
Absorption through Skin
There are many situations in which topical application of essential oils is the most suitable method, like in the case of bruises or scratches, skin care or hair care and even massage therapies with essential oils. There are quite a number of ways in which essential oils can be absorbed through skin. The most common ways are:
- Bath: Infusing pure essential oils to bath salts and staying immersed in the water for a while lets your skin absorb the oil and at the same time you are able to inhale the aroma of the oil which makes bathing one of the most popular ways of aromatherapy.
- Gargle: Gargling with diluted essential oils like clove oil for sore throat allows for quick absorption through the skin.
- Compression:If you have a bruise that needs tending to or if there is a scratch or a topical wound, you can order natural essential oil in India from a wide range of choices and apply it after dilution (dilution with water or carrier oil) on the area directly or add to the dressing for speedy recovery and as an antiseptic.
- Massage:You can also massage your body with natural oils mixed with a carrier oil for toned muscle, improved circulation, better skin etc.
Inhalation
Inhalation of essential oil vapors is an effective technique for healing and treating a wide range of issues. It is important to adhere to guidelines (which vary for each essential oil) while applying any of the following ways to use natural oils.
- Diffusion: Mix natural oil with water (or according to instructions) and add to the diffuse. The essential oil instantly vaporizes and perfumes the room for mood upliftment, increased focus, improved sleep etc. depending on the nature and choice of essential oil.
- Spray: Pure essential oils can be mixed with water to make mists or deodorant sprays that can be used as room fresheners.
- Dry Evaporation: Pure essential oils vaporize in room
temperature. This property can be applied to the technique of dry evaporation where you can add a few drops of your preferred oil to a cotton ball and place it close to your workstation or anywhere you want for an aromatic environment. You can, alternatively, for a higher dosage, sniff the cotton ball directly to inhale the aroma from the essential oil.
- Steam: Steam is a popular inhalation technique. In this method you boil water with drops of oil and inhale the vapours. This method is effective for treating sinus, cough and cold, headaches, insomnia, anxiety etc.
Ingestion
Essential oils can be orally ingested to treat various ailments. However as essential oils are extremely potent, it is highly recommended that they are only used under the guidance of a professional aromatherapist.
