Lavender essential oil
can also be used in the bath. Add a few drops of neat oil to the water,
or dilute in base oil before adding (if you use base oil, be careful of
slipping and ensure that the bath is thoroughly cleaned afterwards).
A few drops of lavender oil can be added to base lotions and creams to
make scented body lotion or hand creams.
The essential oil can also be burned in a diffuser or on a lamp ring.
You can also prepare a room spray – drops of oil shaken in water can be
lightly sprayed in a room (but avoid polished surfaces).
What to check
Always ensure that you purchase 'pure essential oil'. If you have
any doubts about using essential oil (especially if you are thinking of
using something other than lavender), please contact an aromatherapist
for advice.
You should always take
professional advice before using essential oils with babies or if
pregnant.
Enjoy essential oils,
they are wonderful, but do treat them with the respect they deserve.
