How to Use Essential Oils
🧖 In the Sauna
Add 3-5 drops to about 500 ml of water in the sauna bucket, stir, and ladle it over the hot stones. For stronger oils like Oregano or Camphor, use only 1-2 drops per bucket. Never apply oil directly to stones without water.
🌿 For Skin Care
Always dilute in a carrier oil (Jojoba, Almond, or Coconut) at about 2% concentration - roughly 6 drops per tablespoon (15 ml) of carrier oil. Conduct a patch test before full application. Avoid photosensitive oils (Bergamot, Lemon) on skin that will see the sun within 12-18 hours.
🏠 In a Diffuser
Add 3-5 drops to your ultrasonic diffuser filled with water. Run for 30-60 minute intervals. Do not exceed 1 hour continuous use in small rooms.
🛁 In the Bath
Mix 3-5 drops into a tablespoon of carrier oil or unscented shower gel before adding to bathwater. Never add essential oils directly to water - they do not dissolve and can irritate skin. Bath salt and milk do not disperse them.
