There are many uses for essential oils.

• For example, you can choose an essential oil of your choice and add it to your sauna water. This way you can inhale the essential oil.
  My favourite sauna companions (especially during sickness when my nose is stuffy) are clove, peppermint, lavender.
• Aromatherapy humidifier. If you have a humidifier that can add essential oils, be sure to take advantage of this option.
  Drizzle a few drops of lavender for a better night’s sleep.
  During cold/flu season, use essential oils such as peppermint or spearmint.
  This will help to keep your nose open at night.
  I’ve also dribbled rosemary essential oil on a cotton cloth and put it on the headboard of the bed, it’s especially good for babies when nasal congestion keeps them awake.
  Ginger essential oil during the stomach virus season.
• Add to massage oil. In general, if you want to use an essential oil on your skin, always mix it with a base oil.
• Add to shampoo or conditioner to create a good fragrance.
• Add essential oil to the bath water, but as essential oils do not dissolve in water, be sure to mix with base oil first.
  The fat will help the oil to dissolve in the water.
• Home care. To make your home smell good and be energetic every day, use essential oils such as lemongrass, lime, lemon or orange.
  Drizzle a few drops onto a washcloth.
  To make the toilet smell good, I’ve dripped lemongrass on a toilet roll.
  I’ve used cinnamon essential oil to get in the Christmas mood.
• For insect control in summer. In summer, we are plagued by mosquitoes and other insects.
  Make your own mosquito repellent: take 100ml of base oil (for example 20ml of castor oil and 80ml of avocado oil) and add 6 drops of lemongrass, 6 drops of citronella, 6 drops of tea tree oil, 3 drops of lavender oil, 6 drops of rosemary.
  Mix everything together and put it in a bottle with a sprayer.
  Simple and natural!
