How do we use essential oils?
You will need to get a base oil to add a few drops of the essential oil to. Use coconut, sesame, jojoba, grape seed, olive, or even a simple baby oil will work if you cant locate one of the others. There are many oils you can use as a base oil. Add a few drops of pure essential oil to a few ounces of Base oil and enjoy in your usual way. I use eucalyptus for achy muscles, Lavender for a bedtime bath, and citrus or peppermint for a great morning wake up.
I use different EO in soapmaking, also add them into some cosmetical products like cremes and lotions.
Some of the essential oils (like Hyssop and Clove ) are rather helpful to heal sore throat, here is an excellent guide on using them for purposes like these http://natadviser.com/essential-oils-for-sore-throat/ .
