Aromatic bath: the fragrance of essential oils is diffused into the air and the aromatic component is inhaled through the nose. The fragrance is diffused into the air by steam that has been warmed using an aroma pot or aroma warmer in which the essential oil and water or hot water has been placed. As a rough guide, 5 to 7 drops of essential oil would be sufficient for a room. There is also a method to enjoy the fragrance which has been dropped directly into a small unglazed dish. If you first timer, please do a patch test for each oil, there are instances where some might develop allergic reactions. The patch test is done by diluting base oil and the essential oils which one intend to use for aroma treatment or which would come in contact with the skin by way of aroma bath.
