There are so many great and fun ways to use aromatherapy.  You will find that the benefits from it can be found in many ways.  The methods of intended use are easy and fun to follow.  You should make sure that you are completely understanding the correct ways of using the oils and how to be safe with them at all times.  Remember that you must use the oils correctly or they can be dangerous.

One thing to know is that essential oils are flammable.  You must remember to keep them away from open flames or this could cause disaster.  One way to use essential oils is to inhale them.  You will need to use three to four drops of the essential oil on a tissue or napkin.   You can then place the tissue or napkin near your nose and inhale.  If you are a first time user, you should only use one or two drops to make sure that you are not sensitive to the oils.

Another way to use essential oils for aromatherapy is to steam them.  You can boil a few cups of water and pour it into a bowl.  Add about ten drops of the essential oils to the water.  You can use fewer drops if you are using oil that is stronger than others.  Place your nose a few inches away and you will be able to breath in the fresh air.  This can help you when you are feeling under the weather and make you relax.

You can use essential oils in aromatherapy for other things as well. One great use is to use them for freshening up the room.  You can use the steam method and make an entire room or home smell inviting.  If you are so inclined, you can buy a diffuser or aromatherapy lamp that will allow you to put these scents into the air a little easier. 

You can add a few drops of any essential oil that you like the most and place them in different areas of your home.  You can use them in the garbage can, the laundry, vacuum bag, or on a piece of tissue paper for your bathroom drawers.  This will add some fragrance to your home and make it smell fresh. 

You may also want to bring some of the essential oils outside with you. Many of them include citronella and peppermint in them. This is known as a natural insect repellant and you will not have to worry about the bugs eating you up when you are outside.  Sprinkle few drops on a cotton ball and place near you or your doors and windows.  This will keep all of the unwanted intruding bugs away.
