Essential oils are volatile, meaning they evaporate quickly
and reach the various centers of the brain through the sense of smell,
thus affecting our psyche and influencing our mood. They can
either relax and calm us or energize and rejuvenate us.
You can choose
from the various uses offered by the Essential Oils of Apivita to
enrich and beautify your daily activities.
AROMATHERAPY KIT
Usage: Thanks to their beneficial properties, they
help you relax after a tiring day, concentrate when
doing work that requires mental clarity or energize you. They can
also be used to ensure a clean and pleasant atmosphere
since they neutralize unwanted odors.
Light the wick and place it on the base of the Ceramic
Diffuser of Apivita. In a few minutes the essential oils will
start to diffuse into the atmosphere.
Quantity of use: 1-8 drops in a little water. It is important
to always have a little water in the aromatherapy device.
MASSAGE
Usage: Massage is one of the oldest therapeutic methods and
is one of the most important practical applications
of aromatherapy. Essential oils thanks to the massage movements penetrate the
skin offering stimulation, revitalization or relaxation. Add the essential
oil or oil blend to Apivita Natural Oil Almond or Massage Blend and mix well. Enjoy a beneficial
massage with all your senses by applying the oil with gentle circular movements on the body.
Quantity of use: 30-35 drops in 100 ml of base oil.
BATH
Usage: One of the simplest and most pleasant ways to use essential oils is in the bath. Fill the bathtub with
warm water. A warm or hot bath can relax the mind and body, while a cool or cold bath
can cause a sense of stimulation and revitalization. Add drops of an essential oil or your favorite blend,
and then stir the water to dissolve. For sensitive skin it is better to dissolve the essential oils in a base oil,
such as almond or jojoba oil. Stay in the tub for at least ten minutes, relaxing and breathing deeply.
Quantity of use: 3-8 drops.
INHALATIONS
Usage: Inhalations are proven to be beneficial for ease and release of breathing, especially in winter months.
Also, steam inhalation with essential oils can be used to cleanse and detoxify the face. Fill a bowl with hot
steamy water and add drops of essential oil. Close your eyes and carefully lean over the bowl. Cover your head
and the bowl with a towel and inhale for a total of ten minutes.
Quantity of use: 2-3 drops per bowl of water.
COMPRESSES
Usage: Fill a bowl with warm water and add drops of essential oil or oil blend. Soak the compress and drain off
any excess water. Then apply it to the desired area.
Quantity of use: 3-5 drops.
