Baths.
Add up to 5 drops of pure essential oil to a bath full of warm water. Float the oil on the surface and stir with your hand before relaxing in the bath for 10-15 minutes. For a hand or foot soak use 2-3 drops in a bowl of warm water. Add 20-40 drops to 1 cup of bath salts.
Inhalation.
Add 2-5 drops of essential oil to a bowl of hot water, cover your head with a towel and inhale the fragrant steam or put 1-2 drops directly onto a cotton ball for a convenient way to inhale the aroma.
