How To Choose & Use Essential Oils For Aroma

How To Diffuse Essential Oils In A Vaporiser 

Essential Oils not only smell great
and have health benefits,they also
give a room an atmosphere.

There are many kinds of vaporisers. We are only mentioning the methods that we recommend for our fine quality essential oils. Our oils are premium grade, pure 100% certified organic oils. They must be used sparingly as they are extremely potent and concentrated. A little goes a long way.

Electric or Candle

Fill the diffuser with water and turn on the power or light the candle. Let the water warm for a few minutes, then add 3-4 drops of the required oil. It should last 3-4 hours.

Bowl of Water

If a diffuser is not handy. You can add 3-4 drops of oil to a wide brimmed small bowl of water. It will have the same diffusion effect except that it will diffuse for only 1-2 hours.

Choosing the right essential oil for aroma

Choosing For Emotions

Essential oils have neurological effects. The chemical compound of an essential oil will be absorbed through the capillaries in nose when inhaled and absorbed into the blood steam where it passes the blood brain barrier and changes the neurology of the brain. So, if you want to change your physiological or emotional state, you need to know what the dominant chemical compound of the essential oil. This will tell you the effect it will have you.

Choosing For Scent 

Choosing the right essential oil for aroma alone, will in many ways depend on if you like it. Whether you like it, will in part depend on how it makes you feel. Please see Choosing Essential Oils For Emotions above to find out more about this.

However, choosing how long an aroma will last and what you will smell when an essential oil is heated and infused into the air will require you to understand the rate of evaporation of the oil a.k.a base notes.

Essential Oils with Top Notes : The oils in this category are those that evaporate the most quickly and the ones you experience first when an essential oil blend in diffused. The aromas of these notes are crisp and sharp. 

Mandarin	sweet, floral, orange-like
Geranium	floral, sweet
Lavender	floral, fresh, sweet, herbaceous
Ylang Ylang	floral, rich, sweet
Lemongrass	Fresh, lemon, sweet
Eucalyptus	citrus, fresh

Middle Notes : The oils in this category make up the 'heart' of what you smell.

Lemongrass	Fresh, lemon, sweet
Mandarin	Sweet, floral, orange-like
Lavender	floral, fresh, sweet, herbaceous

Base Notes :These oils have a very slow evaporation rate and extend the the amount of time the essential oil remains on the skin or in the air. Your nose will generally become aware of these aromas upon dry-down (in a vaporiser) or about 20 min after applied to the skin.

Frankincense	Woody, sweet

So, essential oils that are in the top note category will diffuse throughout a room quickly. You will be able to smell in throughout the room almost as soon as the water in the vaporiser heats. Essential oils in the middle note category last the longest in a vaporiser. So, Lavender and Lemongrass will probably last in the diffuser for 3-4 hours or as long as the water in the vaporiser is still heating. Frankincense which have a strong base note, may not be noticed too quickly upon heating, but it will continue to diffuse throughout the room long after the water in the vaporiser has dried up.

Between, an essential oil's heath effects and its aroma, there is a perfect essential oil for everyone. For everyday use, we recommend Lemongrass (it lasts long while being uplifting) and Lavender (it lasts long while being relaxing).

What is Geranium Oil?

Geranium oil (pelargonium graveolens) is extracted from the leaves of the geranium plant by distillation. According to Julia Lawless, in the "Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils," geranium oil is sometimes known as rose geranium oil. The types of geranium oil differ depending on the plant species from which they are extracted; for example, you might find geranium oil described as Bourbon geranium. This is a reference to the area in which it grows. Geranium oil might be slightly different in chemical composition, depending on where it is cultivated, but in general most geranium oils have the same physical properties.

How To Use Geranium Oil

• Add 2 drops to the amount you would use for body moisturiser
• Add 5-10 drops to a vaporiser                                                                                                        
• Hot or cold compress - for antiseptic use
• Add 5-6 drops to a two ounce spray bottle filled with water, shake well before each.
• To reduce water retention apply 3-4 drops with your moisturiser to the legs and rub from the feet up to the knees. Always rub towards the heart, never away.
• Apply the oil to a cut, use a butterfly bandage to pull the edges together, and it is almost as good as stitches in a day or two.
• Great for hemorrhoids. Simply apply to the affected area several times a day and the swelling will go down and the pain will disappear

Science Behind Geranium’s Efficacy

(Extracted from traceetc.com)

The primary constituent is geraniol, which builds collagen fibers (the protein that is the main building block of bone, cartilage, tendon, and other connective tissues) in the tissues. This means that it creates a regenerative action in these parts of the body, especially the skin.

Balances hormones by opening up the circulatory system and allowing the hormones to

be carried to where they need to be.

Great for female problems—PMS, swollen breasts, cramps, heavy or missing periods,

etc. It even helps normalize the fluctuating hormones experienced during menopause!

Apply to the ankles, the inner thighs, the soft upper arms, or even the breasts. If you are

experiencing menstrual cramps apply on location. If you are experiencing heavy

menstrual bleeding, apply to the abdominal area. You may initially experience a brief

time of heavier flow, but then it should diminish to a more normal level of bleeding.
