WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential oils, also called ethereal oils, are natural aromatic substances that come from various parts of plants – trunks, roots, seeds, flowers, leaves, etc. They give plants their characteristic scent and, in addition, have healing and protective effects. They act very positively on symptoms on the physical, emotional and mental levels. 

Their chemical composition is fairly complex. Essential oils are most commonly obtained from plants by distillation, extraction or pressing. Essential oils are highly concentrated and are applied directly to the skin only after dilution with carrier vegetable oils (almond, apricot kernel, jojoba, etc.). The only exceptions are tea tree essential oil and lavender, which you can apply directly.

Use essential oils for inhalation or in your cosmetic products; we do not recommend ingesting any essential oils of any brands.

Essential oils are fat-soluble, so if you want to use them in products that do not contain oils and butters, use a solvent /solubiliser/.

HOW DO I USE AN ESSENTIAL OIL?

Cosmetic and soap making – the required amount of essential oil depends on the specific recipe and the quantity produced.
Inhalation, steaming – drop a few drops of essential oil into an aroma lamp, diffuser, or into a container with hot water.
Bath – mix the oil drops in a base oil /coconut, olive.../, in 1 dl of milk or in a teaspoon of honey, and pour this mixture into the bathtub. Essential oils alone are not soluble in water; the drops would float on the surface.
Massage – add a few drops of essential oil to a cold-pressed vegetable oil (approx. 50 ml) and mix well. Enjoy a pleasant massage.
Sauna – you can choose from conifers, rosemary, eucalyptus, sage, mint or citrus scents. The number of drops depends on the size of the sauna and your taste.

Essential oils are also commonly used in skin care, local compresses, hair masks, oral hygiene care...
