Suggested Uses:

• Room diffuser: choose between 3 and 6 drops in 100 ml. of water
• Bath tub: 8/10 drops of essential oil emulsified in coarse salt or milk or cream or honey to be put in hot water (this helps prevent the oil from volatilizing due to the heat)
• Food use: We recommend 1/2 drops per 100 gr. of food to be flavoured, to be added at the end of cooking (we suggest always starting with the lowest recommended dose and, if necessary, increasing the drops in the future)

Warnings: Do not use in case of chronic diseases, during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
If in doubt, consult a doctor/pharmacist.
