Basic Essentials of Aromatherapy The basic way to use essential oils is to smell the scent. You can get a comfortable rest just by inhaling incense with a comfortable mind, and you can use a variety of products such as dedicated ports, lights, and scented candles. To use it more actively, there is a way to penetrate the skin through a bath or massage. As the ingredients of the oil permeate through the skin tissue while inhaling the scent of essential oil, wisdom is needed to consider and utilize the body’s symptoms and desired effects.
