Essential oils, known for their volatile nature, can evaporate and stimulate the olfactory senses when inhaled, influencing one’s mood. They possess the ability to either relax and unwind or invigorate and re-energize. You can integrate the use of APIVITA’s Essential Oils into your daily life in various ways to enhance your overall well-being.

DIFFUSER:

• To benefit from their therapeutic properties, essential oils can help you relax, focus, or rejuvenate after a busy day. They can also enhance your environment by eliminating unpleasant odors.
• Light a candle and place it beneath APIVITA’s Ceramic Essential Oil Burner, allowing the scent to permeate the room as the water warms up.
• Recommended usage: Add 1-8 drops to a small amount of water in your diffuser, ensuring a small amount of water is always present.

MASSAGE:

• Massage is a time-honored therapeutic practice and a recognized application of aromatherapy. It’s an ideal way to alleviate muscle tension, stress, and discomfort.
• Essential oils used in massages are absorbed through the skin, promoting relaxation and rejuvenation.
• How to use: Add the essential oil or a blend of oils to a carrier oil, such as APIVITA Natural Oil Almond or Massage Blend. Apply by massaging the oil gently in circular motions across the body.
• Recommended usage: 30-35 drops in 100 ml of carrier oil.

BATH:

• Bathing is a simple yet delightful way to experience aromatherapy. Depending on the water’s temperature, it can soothe the mind and body or provide invigoration.
• Add drops of essential oil or your preferred blend to the bath and thoroughly mix to disperse the scent.
• Soak for a minimum of ten minutes, relaxing and taking deep breaths.
• Recommended usage: 3-8 drops.

STEAM INHALATION:

• Inhalations are effective for easing breathing, especially during winter months. They can also be used to steam the face for cleansing and decongestion.
• Fill a bowl with hot water, add the chosen essential oil drops, and carefully lean over the bowl with your eyes closed. Cover your head and the bowl with a towel and inhale deeply for about ten minutes.
• Recommended usage: 2-3 drops per bowl of water.

SKINCARE:

• Essential oils offer various benefits in skincare, moisturizing, toning, and rejuvenating the skin. You can add essential oils to natural cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and more for a healthy complexion, ideally in combination with APIVITA Natural oils.
• Recommended usage: The amount to use depends on the carrier or base product. Seek advice from your pharmacist or aromatherapist.

WARNINGS:

• Essential oils are highly concentrated and must be used with care. When in doubt, consult a physician or a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
• Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs.
• Always use essential oils in diluted form, mixed with a suitable carrier base like vegetable oil or bath water.
• Some oils can cause sensitization or allergic reactions, so perform a patch test on sensitive skin.
• After applying citrus oils, avoid direct sunlight or sunbed rays for 12 hours.
• If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a physician or experienced aromatherapist before using essential oils.
• Be extremely cautious when applying essential oils to babies and children under 12; many oils are not suitable, and those that are should be heavily diluted.
• Use essential oils only in burners or diffusers designed for this purpose; avoid prolonged use in poorly ventilated areas and never leave unattended.
• Keep essential oils out of children’s and pets’ reach and store them in a cool, dark place. These products are for external use.
