Use carrier oils like jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut. Apply to sore muscles or stressed areas with gentle massage techniques, allowing several minutes for absorption.

Inhalation

For direct inhalation, place 1-2 drops on a tissue or cotton ball and breathe deeply. For steam inhalation, add 2-3 drops to a bowl of hot water and lean over with a towel for 5-10 minutes. A personal inhaler can also be used by adding a few drops to the cotton wick inside.
