Suggested carrier oils include jojoba or sweet almond; apply to areas of tension using gentle massage techniques and allow for 20-30 minutes for absorption.

For direct inhalation, place 1-2 drops on a tissue or in your hands, and inhale deeply. For steam inhalation, add 2-3 drops to a bowl of hot water, covering your head with a towel, and inhale for 5-10 minutes. Personal inhalers can be prepared for individual use.
