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)
• Massages:  dilute a few drops of essential oil in a spoonful of oil through
• Food use: We recommend a maximum of 1 drop 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 to, if necessary, increase the drops in the future). This essential oil also goes very well in some cocktails

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