In addition, housewives also need to pay attention when using essential oils effectively by using a diffuser or essential oil lamp to spread the fragrance in the room, creating a warm and relaxing space for the body.
Essential oils can be used for massage by diluting the essential oil with a base oil (such as coconut oil or almond oil) and gently massaging the body to increase blood circulation and reduce muscle tension.
Housewives should also note that essential oils can cause skin irritation, so dilute the essential oil before use. Then try using a small amount of diluted essential oil to test your skin's reaction.
Avoid direct contact of essential oils with eyes and wounds as they may cause irritation. Pregnant women, children or people with special medical conditions should consult a doctor before using essential oils.
