Are these oils just for aroma therapy or can you actually use them on the skin.

You can put them on your skin. I have made quit a few pain relieving oils for gout and arthritis. I love my set of oils!

Edens Garden essential oils are perfect for both aromatherapy and topical use. All our oils are 100% pure therapeutic grade oils. They are accepted to be used by naturopaths, aromatherapists and natural practitioners. Some oils are safe for skin application, while others are not. Essential oils that are commonly known to be safe for "neat" application (meaning, no dilution necessary) are Lavender and Tea Tree. In general, we like to suggest using a 3-5% dilution rate for topical use. Many people dilute with carrier/ base oils or lotion for application. We would recommend doing a Google search or contacting an Aromatherapist directly for specific recipes and instruction. Also, it's always good to test prior to use to ensure you are not sensitive or have any allergy to the oil.

You could add these oils to a carrier oil (olive oil, coconot oil, grapeseed oil, etc.) for massage, just make sure you do an allergy test first, especially if you're working on clients. These Fragrance oils are synthetic and not to be confused with Essential oils. They are strictly for scent. There are recipes online to guide you with how many drops to use per ounce of carrier oil for massages.

No really, it's basically an advertisement for doTerra. They do sell a book titled Modern Essentials (you can get it on Amazon) that tells the purposes of oils, specifically theirs which in many cases applies to generic ones also (lavender, orange, etc).

There is an "aroma therapy tank" according to the guidebook which is just a tiny little plastic well. I am not sure an oil would work, but I don't know. The toll-free customer care helpline # is 1-800-622.4714. I would call them first.

Actually, yes. If you mix just a few drops with coconut oil (enough to scent it), this can be used to scent massage oils. The "no" answer was probably concerned that you would try to use the pure essential oil without diluting it first. These are NOT safe to use on skin undiluted. Always test your finished product on a small area of skin. Leave on for a few minutes and then wash off. Wait a few hours. If there is no reaction, you have sufficiently diluted the EO.

Yes! Young Living oils are amazing - I use them personally and in my therapy practice. You do NOT want to use a synthetic grade oil - they may smell good but have no therapeutic properties. In fact, you may be inhaling very concentrated chemicals. Young Livings oils are 100% therapeutic grade. Don't be fooled, as long as an oil contains 5% true oil - it can be called therapeutic grade. You can order them from me. Go to youngliving.com and enter distributor #1755990.

Oh yes, totally! This is a pure essential oil, not a fragrance oil. You can use it to clean or on your person (mixed with a carrier oil).

I would say no. These (wonderful) oils are already in a carrier oil, and so are not just pure essential oils.

the oils are natural and organic. I have used many facial oils and Bel Essence is far the best. My skin glows and looks wonderful.

Yes, some customers use our oils undiluted. However, we warn against this because our oils are so concentrated, and can be harmful if misused. We recommend you speak with a licensed aromatherapist for more information on the proper use of our oils.

Yes; they are therapeutic grade, which means you can use them on your skin...however, use very sparingly and be mindful that especially citrus and mint are very potent and can burn your skin on their own. Find a good recipe for lip balm and don't apply oils directly to the skin.

Anytime you use essential oils on the body you should put them in a carrier oil. I am a Massage Therapist and do use this on my clients.

You absolutely can! It's awesome to use oils in the bath. It's very soothing and cleansing. I've used these ones in the bath. And what's great is you don't need to use much oil. This brand in particular is very potent, in a good way, so they've lasted me a long time since I have to use less for the effect. Something I really love about them is on the label they give "common uses" of each oil. I know a decent amount about essential oils, but I've learned a lot more about other uses for them now. Very helpful. No matter what you use these for, I would almost guarantee that you won't be disappointed. Great quality at an insanely cheap price- so hard to find! You absolutely can!

Hi Nikki . Well , although these oils are 100% pure and certainly there is nothing about them to harm you , they are also certainly not created as a food flavoring . They work as a fabulous ingredient in all of my home made skin and hair care products .

It is mainly used as a carrier oil for essential oils. You could use it topically like for massage by itself. It is not for eating.

This oil is primarily used for the skin, mostly facial skin. It is generally used to reduce scarring. That is how I came across it. I was searching the internet for something I could use to help reduce the appearance of acne scars on my face. I didn't want to use commercial preparations because they generally have not worked on me. I came across rosehip seed oil. Google "uses for rosehip seed oil" and you'll find quite a bit of interesting information. Naturally you'll have to decide what seems legit and what not but I have found that it has worked for me... and I have dark skin. Of course, any effect took a few months to really show any results but I'm happy with my purchase.

What I know is that "Now Food" brand for essential oil (as the name says so) is most likely be used for food. However don't take anybody's word for it when it comes for food consumption. If the label says for external use only. Consult the manufacturer. Be cautious. I only buy them for adding to shampoos, lotions, or aroma therapy. If you really need to add to food I would buy the real herb. Best I could say.
