Mode of use
There are different ways to apply and use Essential Oils and Essential Oil Preparations:
SKIN APPLICATION:
- face use: we recommend a ratio of 99% Carrier Oil plus 1% Essential Oil. This translates into 2 drops of Essential Oil for every 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.
- Body use: we recommend a proportion of 97% Carrier Oil plus 3% Essential Oil, which means 6 drops of Essential Oil per 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.
APPLICATION MODE:
- Diffuser: the use of diffusers without heat such as the ALQVIMIA Flask is recommended, since heat modifies the properties of essential oils. Use a maximum of 10 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in the diffuser.
- Bath: dilute a maximum of 10-15 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in a small amount of milk (vegetable or animal), yogurt, honey, salt or Bath Gel. This is because essential oils are not soluble in water and need a vehicle to dissolve in the bath.
- Vapor Inhalation: apply a maximum of 5 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation on a pan of hot water with approximately 1-2 liters of water, and inhale, covering the head and pan with a towel, to maintain the steam for longer.
- Sauna: dilute a maximum of 2 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation for every 500ml used in the sauna.
- Air freshener spray: the use of Alqvimia Anti-Stress Cologne Water is recommended.
