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.

⚠️ Safety Notes

  • Keep out of reach of children; no skin use on children under 2, and ask a specialist before any use with older children
  • Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes
  • Not for internal use
  • Pregnant women should consult a healthcare provider before use
  • Strong oils (Oregano, Camphor) - use in very small amounts
  • Keep oils and running diffusers away from pets - many essential oils are toxic to cats and dogs
