Bath - Add a few drops (2-5) of essential oil or blend to a full and not too hot bath. Agitiate the water as you add the oils to help them disperse. Wait a few minutes to allow the oils to penetrate before slipping in to relax and cleanse. You can also make up bath oils by diluting essential oils in vegetable oil with 2 - 5 drops essential oil to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Massage - To make your own personalised massage oil simply use 2-5 drops essential oil  and blend to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. The recommended ratio is 3% essential oil in a carrier oil
A ratio of 1% essential oil to carrier is recommended for expecting mothers, children and sensitive skins. Good carrier oils are sweet almond, apricot kernal, safflower, avocado, jojoba or wheatgerm oil. (1ml = approx 25 drops)

Inhalation - Oil burners, vopourisers and diffusers are excellent ways to create a pleasant smell and feeling in a room and also disperses the oils into the air so that they are inhaled and gently absorbed.
