How to use them
The most effective way to perfume
a room is to use a purpose-designed essential oil vaporiser or
'burner'. A small dish fits over a nightlight and is filled with
water, then about five drops of essential oil are floated on the
surface. This is gently heated by the flame. As the aromatic oil
evaporates, the room becomes permeated with fragrance. Electric
vaporisers are also available.
You may like to try sprinkling up
to six drops of essential oil into bath water.
Aromatherapists rarely use single
essences, but prefer to blend two, three or more oils to create a
fragrant compound. However, there is no reason why you should not
use a single essence if the aroma appeals to your senses. We tend
to be attracted to the oils that we need at a given time, and
these usually mirror our emotional state. For example, when we
feel nervy and restless, we tend to be attracted to
light-hearted, highly volatile scents which are as quick tempered as
we are.
*If you are pregnant then please
consult with a qualified practitioner before using any of these oils, as even
inhaling certain ones can be dangerous*
When blending oils it is
helpful to remember that 'families' of essences tend to harmonise: e.g.
HERBS - clary
sage, lavender, marjoram, peppermint, rosemary
CITRUS -
bergamot, lemon, orange, lime, mandarin
FLOWERS -
rose, ylang ylang, jasmine, neroli
SPICES -
coriander, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, cardamom
RESINS -
frankincense, galbanum, elemi
WOODS -
sandalwood, cedarwood
GRASSES -
vetiver, lemongrass, palmarosa
Other
compatible aromas are:
spices and citrus with a hint of floral
woods and resins
woods and flowers.
Enjoy!
