Please note: essential oils are highly concentrated. A few drops are often more than enough! Furthermore, the fragrant essential oils can be vaporized in an aroma diffuser or with the help of an aroma stone. And they can be inhaled or used in aromatic steam baths, baths, foot baths or compresses. \n\n•\tVaporizing: all essential oils are antiseptic and vaporize easily. Therefore, it is a pleasant way to create a pleasant scent and atmosphere in your home or workspace. Put some water in the top of an aroma diffuser and add a few drops (maximum 6) of essential oil. Light the tea light in the aroma diffuser and the oil will soon begin to vaporize. An aroma stone can also be used for small spaces. \n•\tSteaming and inhaling: steaming is a very effective way to use essential oils. Place your head under a towel, over a bowl of hot water, and add 2 to 4 drops of essential oil. It is also possible to put two drops of essential oil on your pillow or on a handkerchief. \n•\tBathing: never use undiluted essential oils in the bath, but mix them with a neutral bath oil. Mix approx. 10 ml of bath oil with 4 to 6 drops of essential oil. The warm bath water promotes the absorption of the essential oils through the skin. A bath of approx. 15 minutes guarantees an optimal effect of the essential oils. A nourishing foot bath is also an option. Use 2 drops of essential oil with two tablespoons of dead sea salt or 5 ml of neutral bath oil. \n•\tMassage: Mix two to six drops of essential oil in 10 ml of neutral carrier oil. For children, the elderly, and during pregnancy, a maximum of 1 drop of essential oil per 10 ml of carrier oil is recommended. \n•\tCompresses: Fill a bowl with warm or cold water and add 4 to 6 drops of essential oil. Soak a towel in this water and place the cold or warm compress on the area to be treated. A cold compress with lavender and Roman chamomile, for example, has a wonderfully cooling effect on a sprained ankle. For abdominal pain, a warm compress with lavender, marjoram, and Roman chamomile is recommended. \n\nStorage\nKeep essential oils out of reach of children and pets. They are flammable and should therefore not be stored or used near open flames. Be careful with polished surfaces: the oil can damage them. Immediately remove any spilled drops. Due to their volatile nature, essential oils evaporate quickly. They are affected when exposed to heat, light, and oxygen and should therefore be stored well sealed, cool, and dark. Essential oils can, if the bottle is tightly closed, be stored for several years. After that, the quality slowly decreases. Citrus oils are an exception to this rule: they should be used within 1 year after opening. Other essential oils, however, such as sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver, can be stored for years after opening without losing quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSafety instructions\nWith the exception of tea tree and lavender, essential oils should not be applied undiluted to the skin. If an essential oil accidentally gets into the eyes or causes irritation, immediately apply a fatty vegetable oil to the area. In case of accidental internal use, immediately drink a few sips of fatty vegetable oil. Essential oils dissolve best in, for example, olive oil or sunflower oil. In addition, these oils have an immediate soothing effect. Then immediately warn a doctor!\n\nWarning:\nEssential oils should only be used internally under expert supervision. Volatile's aromatherapist advises against internal use. Never experiment with this yourself! Always keep oils out of reach of children. Some essential oils should not be used in babies or during pregnancy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer \/ Distributor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolatile","brand":"Volatile","offers":[{"title":"10.00 Milliliters","offer_id":61700279206218,"sku":"538118","price":6.12,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/5497\/7866\/files\/8715542002666_A1N1.png?v=1790841598","url":"https:\/\/ithomepharma.com\/en\/products\/volatile-kruizemunt-10-milliliter","provider":"AtHomePharma","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
