What is the proper way to use essential oil?

I've recently purchased a bottle of pure lavander essential oil since people been telling me that they're good for insomia. Is it okay if I add a few drops of essential oil on the pillow before I go to bed?What is the proper way to use essential oil?
It's good to put some in your bath water and soak for a bit. The oils might stain your pillow cases. Try putting a little on the back of your neck.What is the proper way to use essential oil?
You can dilute it in almond oil for massage or application to skin, and you can add a few drops of pure essential oil to bathwater. You can also use almond oil to mix it in a vaporizer and spritz it on your sheets or pillow.
yes you can do it - if you don't mind having your pillow smell like lavander all the time. Better yet, just use it during bath or shower. for bathing, just add a few drops of essential oil to the water. or you may wait after shower, then add a few drops of essential oil to a damp clothe and gently massage your body with it. hope this help.
yes, it's okay to use a few drops, though i would recommend an atomizer (those bottles with the bulbs for spraying). Don't use to much of it; pure oils can cause burns on the skin. The best way to use it would be to add it to a carrier lotion, like sweet almond or jojoba. I'm a massage therapist and have used this method several times. aromatherapy is awesome!
