How to Use This Product

To enjoy the aromatic benefits of this oil, add a few drops to a vaporiser or oil burner to disperse the scent throughout a room. For topical application, such as in a massage or bath, ensure the oil is appropriately diluted in a carrier oil or water. Because this oil can still affect skin sensitivity, avoid exposing treated skin to direct sunlight immediately after application. It is traditionally used in personal care to support skin health and to create a sense of calm and emotional balance.
