For aromatherapy use. Not for oral use. For topical uses, carefully dilute with a carrier oil such as jojoba, grapeseed, olive or almond prior to use. For occasional topical use, NOW suggests mixing 2 drop into 5 ml (one teaspoon) of carrier oil prior to applying on the skin - do not use undiluted. Apply to a small body area only, 1 to 3 times per day. Rub into the skin until it vanishes. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; if this happens, rinse thoroughly with vegetable oil.
To use the Blended type as a form of steam inhalation to clear breathing passages, ease congestion, and reduce anxiety intended for adults, add 3 to 12 undiluted drops into a facial steamer device or a bowl of steaming water. Inhale slowly and deeply for 5 to 10 minutes. Use one to three times per day.
