Direct Inhalation Put several drops of an essential oil into the palms of the hands and with hands cupped, breathe deeply for greater inhalation.

A few drops of oil may be added to the dishwater or washing machine to help promote greater hygiene.
Some favorite oils are lemon, peppermint, bergamot, etc.
Important Tips Never Mix Essential Oils With Water . Most Essential oils are not water soluble. If they burn a little or you get them in your eyes by accident, always dilute Carrier Oil or any pure vegetable oil. Do not add water as water drives the oils in deeper, creating more skin irritation. Call your health care practitioner immediately.
