About the Use
The most common way to use essential oils is by diffusing them. There are a variety of diffusers available on the market. Most of them work with a tea light candle that heats a mixture of water and essential oil. It can be helpful to ensure that the water dish is large enough so that it does not run dry during the burn time of one tea light. If it does, the unevaporated oil residues can burn, producing an unpleasant odor. There are also small diffusers (scent stones) available without heating, where you can directly drop the oil. Use very volatile (lightly liquid) essential oils for this, otherwise, the oil will stick and render the diffuser unusable.
Our essential oils are, of course, suitable for massage as well. After years of experimenting with various carrier oils, we want to name only one as the best: Palm Kernel Oil. While many other oils spoil relatively quickly, Palm Kernel Oil remains good for years. Furthermore, it is a lightly spreadable, non-greasy oil that allows the essential oil to be absorbed well by the skin. Palm Kernel Oil itself is neutral and virtually odorless. A starting mixing ratio is approximately 75 drops of essential oil to 100 cc of Palm Kernel Oil. Do not let essential oils come into contact with your eyes and mucous membranes!
A less common method of use is burning granulated incense prepared with essential oil. When you evaporate essential oil, it dilutes and spreads through the air, keeping the scent molecules intact. When you burn essential oil using incense, the molecules are unlocked by the fire, releasing the energy within. This method operates on a much higher vibrational level. Working with essential oils becomes even more interesting!
In this area, I have been able to develop various methods over the past few years. For more information, click here.
In principle, we can make incense from almost any essential oil on request. We can also create a personal oil or incense for you. See (hyperlink personal products) for that.
Radiant Sun Essential Oils come with a dropper or a pipette. A dropper is used for thin, liquid oils. This means that very thin oils more or less flow through the dropper, while thicker ones actually drip. So be careful when dropping the oil. Thick oils are supplied with a pipette, as a dropper does not work well with these oils. After use, always store the oils, especially those with a pipette, upright! If oils are too thick or even solidified (e.g., Rose or Patchouli), you can place them in lukewarm water before use. Essential oils can be so volatile that sometimes, albeit slowly, they evaporate through the bottle's seal. To minimize this, store the oils in a cool place.
You can also use essential oil as bath oil. A safe method is as follows: Put the chosen essential oil(s) in a half-filled jam jar or similar container with warm water. Take a bath first, shake the mixture, and pour it into the bathwater. This way, the oil does not float on the water's surface, which could lead to concentrated contact with your skin when you exit the bath. This can cause skin irritations, and there won't be much left to enjoy. If you have any questions or comments, you can contact us here.
