THE DIFFUSER

The simplest way to use an essential oil is to put it in a diffuser. (in this article let's delve deeper into the topic).
There are several on the market, we recommend ultrasonic ionizers as they diffuse water and oil molecules without heating them, which is very important.
Candle burners are certainly much more scenic but they present some problems: the first is that the scent of your essence will be changed by the combustion, the second is that essential oils are extremely volatile, and therefore will last a very, very short time.
Each oil has its own particularity, you can use a single oil or create your own perfume or buy some room fragrances, if you don't buy ours, be careful that they are made of pure and natural essential oils.
For example, be wary of fragrances that are not pure, as the most common method of making them is to immerse an essence (often chemical) in a solvent that carries it and that will fill your home and lungs.
Here you can find an in-depth analysis on essential oils for diffusers

IN THE KITCHEN

Essential oils, like all oils, dilute perfectly in other fats (oil, butter, etc.), sugars, and alcohol.
We thought about 18 Extra Virgin Olive Oil Recipes with essence blends, but imagination is the only limit with essential oils, take a little oil and start experimenting one drop at a time, once you find the right dose you can replicate on a larger quantity of oil by multiplying the drops based on the volume (if in 100ml you need one drop, in a liter 10 and so on), try them on raw fish, on grilled meat or to season first courses and soups, the results will be extraordinary.
You can also add drops of oil directly to your dishes, on our site we have some Sample recipes, you could find some nice inspirations and use the oils to season a raw fish, a nice roast, make a jam, a sauce...

They also work very well in cake or bread doughs, try making a farinata with them or bake some rolls with wild fennel or black pepper, for example, you will give that extra touch that is needed to make things unforgettable.

But the applications of oils certainly don't stop here.
Pure oils can be used to flavour syrups, fruit juices, homemade liqueurs, spirits, soda.

FOR COSMETICS

Here in Santa Bianca we have studied a jojoba oil line with essential oils Of Rose, Neroli, Geranium And Helichrysum.
Each oil has its own properties that you can find on the reference sheets by following the links.
If you want to do something homemade, first of all you need to know that it is better not to put pure essential oils on the skin, always use a vehicle, whether it is a vegetable oil or a neutral cream.
Also, when you apply them, avoid exposing yourself to the sun, especially if the mixture contains citrus fruits, as some oils are photosensitive and can cause irritation.
Having said that, let your imagination run wild, each essential oil has its own properties, you can make a face mask or a cream against cellulite, we have some recipes on the blog and on Facebook with the hashtag #ideessenziali we show what we do day by day.

THE SOAPS

Another beautiful application of oils is to make your own soaps.
Take neutral soaps, and create your own composition of oils (or even a single essence).
You can create delicious hand cleaners or make a shampoo tea tree, a relaxing bubble bath with flowers.
It's also a nice game with children, let them choose their perfume and encourage them to wash their hands (try it and believe it)
They are also perfect for mixing with household detergents, we use them to wash floors by mixing antiseptic oils, such as citrus or rosemary or laurel, with water and neutral soap in the bucket, we wash our clothes in the washing machine and add them to degreasers and dish soap, also very useful in the dishwasher.

THE SPRAYS

We have been asked this question often.
How do I make a perfume to spray around the house, on furniture and fabrics.
We don't use it, but we'll give you a few tips:
First of all, and as always, don't use them pure.
The right mix in our opinion is the following: Essential oils, distilled water and alcohol.
Alcohol has multiple functions, the first is to prevent the elements from separating but to keep them homogeneous, each oil has its own degree of dilution, in any case we recommend that you maintain at least 25% of alcohol within the composition so as to make it non-perishable and the rest distilled water (any liquid above 21 degrees is considered super alcoholic and therefore without an expiration date).
To ensure you always get a uniform spray, shake before use.
Remember to use very resistant sprays, oils in the long run attack the plastic breaking it.

MASSAGE OIL

Massages are a beautiful thing, both to give and to receive.
Using a good vegetable oil with essential oils makes a magical moment even more precious.
Whether you are looking for a specific effect or simply want a good scent, essential oils diluted in a carrier oil are definitely the way to go.
A few drops of the chosen essence in a vegetable oil such as jojoba or almond oil and you will have an amazing result.

SMALL PHARMACY

We have already faced therapeutic use essential oils, very powerful medicines but to be used only under the guidance of a professional.
Furthermore, such a small guide certainly cannot address such a vast topic as therapeutic benefits.
What we want to point out to you, however, are the small uses that can be made for your well-being and health.
Always having some basic essential oils with you can be very helpful!
Lavender, for example, can soothe itching and burning sensations such as those caused by insect bites and can help you sleep by placing a few drops on your pillow and sheets. Tea Tree, on the other hand, is an excellent ally for small skin or oral cavity infections, for example, excellent against cold sores and fungal infections thanks to its strong antibacterial and antiseptic properties.
On our website you will find a page which can be very useful for finding your ideal oil without having to search for them all.
We recommend that you use this page to begin your search.
