How to use

Essential oils can be used in a variety of ways on the skin and body, each method offering unique benefits.  All of them must be diluted in carrier oil though a few can be used directly on the skin but not recommended. At Aroma Origins, we highly discourage using them internally.  Below is a explanation of the methods:

1. Topical Application (Direct)

• How: Dilute essential oils in a carrier oil (e.g., coconut, jojoba, argan) and apply to specific areas. 
• Purpose: Targeted relief for skin issues, muscle aches, or localized inflammation.
• Note: Always dilute (1–5% concentration) to avoid irritation. Avoid sensitive areas like eyes/mucous membranes. For face: 2-3% max. For eye: 1%-2% max., for body 2-5%  

2. Inhalation

• Aromatherapy Inhaler: Add a few drops 5-8 drops all depends on the needs to make an inhaler, use it when you are in need. 
• Diffusers: Add water and oils to disperse aroma into the air.  Add 2-3 drops per 40ml/3-8 drops per 100ml of essential oil (single or synergy blend) of water for diffusing in an open, well-ventilated area.  Diffuse in 30-45 minute intervals with around 30mins break between session for safe and effectiveness.  Avoid to diffuse if baby & pets stay around. 
• Steam Inhalation: Add 2–3 drops to hot water, inhale steam (e.g., peppermint for sinus relief).
• Direct Sniffing: From an inhaler or a tissue.
• Purpose: Mood enhancement, respiratory support, focus, mental clarity, and more.

3. Body Massage

• How: Mix 6–12 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil. Use in massages to relax muscles or improve circulation.  Regularly, 6 drops in 15ml carrier oils should be cover enough for the whole body. 
• Purpose: Combines aromatherapy with physical therapy for stress relief, pain reduction, or skincare.

4. Ointments/Creams/Lotions

• How: Blend essential oils into a base (e.g., cream/lotion) at 1–3% concentration.
• Purpose: Moisturizing, hydrating, treating dry skin, soothing/restoring skin barrier or addressing conditions like eczema (e.g., tea tree oil in creams for acne).

5. Baths

• Dilute First: Essential oils are unable to mix with water, so must dilute 5–10 drops in a dispersant (e.g., 1 tbsp carrier oil, milk, or Epsom salts) before adding to bathwater, otherwise, it will cause to skin irritation. 

• Soak Time: at least 15–20 minutes to absorb benefits.
