Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi, This is my first time posting. I enjoy reading and larning from this group and want to bnegin being more active. I have a question about mixing EO's with water. A friend of mine, a massage therapist, sells aromatherapy mists in her practice. They are a mix of different EO belends with distilled water. They are inhaled and each is meant to help with different health issues. I have looked through the aromatherapy books I have and cannot find anything about mixing EO's with water. Does anybody know if this is an acceptable way to use EO's. Thanks for your help. Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Dear Diane, Eo's which are oils, don't mix with water, unless a chemical is added. I would imagine she has to shake it up all the time, OR she uses hydrosols, which is the spent water that comes from distilling the plants in steam.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi Janine, Thanks for your response. She suggests shaking the bottle each time you use it. I just didn't know if the water had any effect on the effectiveness of the EO.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Mixing essential oils with alcohol (vodka does well) will usually enable them to disperse evenly throughout water. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
