How to use Pranarôm Citronella Essential Oil
Depending on the type of benefits you want to obtain, the essential oil can be taken through the skin, by air or orally. It should be borne in mind that the skin and aerial pathways are the preferred ones, as the oral pathway must be used with great care and depends on the type of essential oil.
Through the skin: Mix a few drops of essential oil with a vegetable oil that acts as a vector (almond oil, jojoba oil or sesame oil) and massage the most receptive parts of the body, where the skin is very thin and facilitates absorption, such as temples, inside of the wrists or the inside of the ankles. A massage on the lumbar and lower abdomen is also very beneficial. Remember that it is always better to apply the essential oil in the evening (some plants are photo-sensitive and if they come in contact with sunlight, it can cause erythema), preferably after showering and upon wet skin.
By air: Use a PRANARŌM vaporiser or an essential oils diffuser. Pour a few drops and allow it to disperse in the environment. By using the essential oil vaporiser, it is also possible to mix several essences according to the benefits you want to obtain.
