Antibacterial, antifungal, antirhumatic, tonic, hypotensive, fast-healing fast-penetrating etc.
For a long time, man has believed that synthetic products were superior to natural products. Forgotten for many years, essential oils have become the stars of theraputic medicine.
Due to known and frequent accidents with aggresive synthetic medications, a number of diseases now want to be treated only with natural theraputic products.
Now often used as the initial treatment, essential oils have taken their rightful place of honour in the world of natural medicine.

How To Use Essential Oils
Using a Diffuser/Nebulizer
In order to keep all the properties of the essential oils, the diffuser should not overheat the oils. It is better to use an electric diffuser. We recommend various electric diffusers from Aromansse Boutique
On The Skin
Use a tablespoon of virgin oil mixed with one or more than one of our essential oils or use essential oils that are made for this purpose only.
NOTE: It is NOT recommended to use pure essential oils directly onto your skin
In The Bath
Fill up your bath with water and mix five to ten drops of essential oils in the water.
In The Sauna
A few drops of essential oils mixed with a little bit of water.
By Inhalation
Use lukewarm water mixed with a few drops of one or more than one essential oils and breathe the vapour.
Internal Treatment
One to four drops of essential oil 4 times a day mixed with half a glass of hot water (Warning: Ask your doctor or therapist, as long as that person has a very good knowledge in using essential oils)
