InhalationOil Burners, Atomised Sprays, Candles and Incense Sticks are the most common methods.
TopicalMassage Creams or Oils are an excellent method as they tend to have considerable time on the skin and not be washed off, two factors which will increase the effectiveness of any active component through the skin.Firstly the Cream or Oil is formed and the essential oils or extracts carefully blended in once the process has cooled to below 35oC. Higher temperatures than this may cause the degradation of sensitive components necessary for the complete action. The general usage levels are 7 to 25 drops in 25ml of oil or cream.It is possible to create your own aromatherapy creams, oils or other products, in your clinic, salon or spa as you can buy small quantities of ready made creams or oils, as well as the essential oils or extracts, from companies such as mine (New Directions Australia) and you can blend these yourself.Other means have also been employed such as via hair care or even the moisturizers, day creams, night creams, etc. used in daily skin care.
