To Inhale

Essential oils can be inhaled to beneficial effect in several ways. Three or four drops on a handkerchief held near the nose every few moments and sniffed is very beneficial.

For congested conditions or skin conditions of the face, a steam inhalation is efficacious. Add five to ten drops to a bowl of very hot water, producing plenty of steam, lean over the bowl so the steam is flowing over your face, put a towel over your head so that it encloses your head and the bowl and inhale the vapours given off for a few minutes. Repeat this two or three times a day.
