Diluted massage (skin and scalp): Never apply rosemary oil directly to the skin. Always dilute it in a carrier oil such as Sweet Almond Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil. A 1% dilution is a good starting point (around 6 drops of essential oil to 30ml of carrier oil). Do a patch test on a small area of skin first and wait 24 hours.
Diffuser or oil burner: Add a few drops to a diffuser or oil burner, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Use for short periods in a well-ventilated room.
If the scent makes you feel worse, stop using it. Strong smells can be unsettling during treatment.
