Historical uses
(Most citrus oils come in
pressed peel or distilled - The pressed
peel is stronger and more therapeutic ,
however, the distilled works better
in cleaning & diffusers - less oil
buildup.)

although it is only locally effective, and
does not affect the central nervous system.
This can help withstand certain pains, such
as those of neuralgia, bone and muscular
injuries, and joint strain, as well those
pains from insect bites and stings.

thereby giving relief from pain, such as the
pain of headaches, colds, sinusitis, and
others

How to use
Essential Oils
Since essential oils are highly concentrated, they
should be diluted before they're used, or apply the
carrier oil first and then the essential oil. You can
use them in any of the following ways:
In a bath: Hopping into a warm bath at the end of a
long day is one of life's most blissful moments. Add
5 to 8 drops of a blend of 3 oils before you climb
into the bath. Agitate the water. Submerge your body
to prepare yourself for the night ahead -- whether
you're staying at home for a quiet and relaxing
time, going to a party, or spending a romantic
evening with your lover. You can also use essential
oils in the morning to invigorate and refresh you
for the day ahead.
In a vaporizer: You can use a vaporizer at home or
work to uplift or relax you. Vaporizers are used to
fill the atmosphere with essential oils. Add 8 drops
in total of your chosen combination of oils to the
shallow dish filled with water at the top of the
unit. You can choose oils to freshen the air, to
assist with breathing, to aid concentration, or
during a romantic interlude.
Massage: Massage is already a popular and highly
respected way of loving and healing the body.
Combine this with the use of essential oils, and you
have a recipe for divine relaxation. A massage oil
is a combination of essential oils added to a base
oil. You can use massage oils to promote
circulation, stimulate the release of toxins from
the body, or uplift the senses -- the list is
endless. To every 10 milliliters (ml) of base oil,
add 5 drops of essential oil (a 10:1 ratio).
Body rub: You can begin every day with energy and
vitality by indulging in a two-minute body rub after
your shower. When the body is warm, it absorbs oil
quickly. Choose 3 essential oils to add to your base
oil, and blend in a small bowl. Smooth the oil over
the entire body to stimulate circulation and protect
you during the day to come.
Inhalation: To help balance physical disorders and
release emotions, you can inhale oils directly by
adding 3 to 5 drops to a stainless steel or glass
bowl, filled with boiling water. Add the drops of
essential oils to the water (agitate to release the
vapors). Place a towel over your head, and breathe
deeply. For maximum benefit, keep your head over the
bowl for 10 minutes. Remember to protect the
sensitive eye area.
Diffusor: Follow directions that come with
diffusor. Do not run 24 hours a day. Only run
approx. 15 to 30 minutes at a time.
Compresses: Use a compress for facial skin care--
it's useful for softening the skin and promoting
cell regeneration -- or for first aid to help
relieve pain and swelling and reduce inflammation.
Hot compresses are generally used to alleviate
chronic pain, while cold compresses are ideal for
acute pain and injury
To make your compress, add 5 drops in total of your
chosen 3 essential oils to a basin of hot or cold
water. Fold a piece of gauze or a small towel, and
soak it in the water. Squeeze out the excess water
from the cloth, and apply it to the skin after the
cloth has absorbed as much of the oil as possible
from the surface of the water.
Cotton balls or fabric made with natural fibers (no
polyester or synthetic balls as they will melt with
most oils) are great to put in front of fans or hang
anywhere, especially where there is moving
air. Also a good way to use Neem oil in
pantries to get rid of pantry moths.
(P.S.) I have been putting a dab of Neem oil on
bottom of lids of containers that are subject to
pantry flies such as flour, rice, popcorn, etc. -
works great.
Spritzer: Ideal for summer, a spritzer hydrates and
re-energizes the skin. This is a bottle with a
nozzle that sprays water in a mist-like form. You
can also use a spritzer to apply essential oils to
wounds or burns. Using 90 ml of water, add 5 drops
of a combination of 3 essential oils to a spritzer
bottle and shake often as oils and water do not
readily mix..
Health - Apply to bottom of feet as that takes the
oils immediately to the rest of the body. The
cells on the bottom of the feet are some of the
largest cells in the body. Also all the
electrical meridians go through the feet. (Our
bodies are electrical) Energy
(acupressure) points are also great places to put
oils. I also like over the tonsils on the
throat or main lymphatic points.
Put a drop or two on your palm, rub your
