In masa1
#irect pe piele, uleiurile esentiale sunt aplicate prin masa1. In cele mai multe cazuri, ele trbuie diluate inainte de
a fi folosite. In mod clasic, se dilueaza in uleiurile vegetale de baza sau intr-un anumit suport. 9l se alege in
functie de necesitati, de tipul de piele si de arome.
"pre e%emplu, uleiul de migdale inmoaie pielea, catifeleaza, hidrateaza si calmeaza inflamatiile cutanate. Uleiul
de avocado este adecvat pielii uscate si sensibile, a1uta in lupta impotriva imbatranirii cutanate. Uleiul de
germeni de grau este bogat in vitamina 9, antio%idant foarte puternic, se adreseaza mai ales pielii sensibile si
ridate. 9l prote1eaza impotriva agresiunilor e%terioare si favorizeaza regenerarea tesuturilor. Uleiul din samburi
de struguri este antibacterian si imunostimulator, fiind destinat pielii grase
/a uleiuri de baza, cele in care trebuie diluat uleiul esential, pot fi utilizate8 uleiul de masline presat la rece, uleiul de
luminita noptii, alune de pamant, de susan, de floarea soarelui, de argan sau de 1o1oba.
/ombinatia ideala
#iluarea recomandata in masa1 este de F-CH ulei essential in ulei de baza si de ?,CH in cazul masa1ului facial. ,entru
copii de la C la D? ani, diluarea recomandata este de ?H, iar pentru copiii mai mici de doi ani, A,CH
,entru a te a1uta, retine ca o diluare de DH reprezinta ?A de picaturi de ulei essential in DA mililitri de ulei de bazaI G
picaturi intr-o lingura de ulei de baza si o picatura de ulei essential intr-o lingurita de baza.
:numite uleiuri pot fi folosite in stare pura. Unul dintre ele este uleiul de lavanda. Uleiurile de acest fel sunt rare si se
folosesc cu anumite precautii. #aca nu esti sigura de un anumit ulei, este recomandat sa il diluezi si nu sa il folosesti in
stare pura.
In comprese
Inmoaie o compresa sau un tifon in apa calda sau rece, apoi pune pe ea intre sase si doisprezece picaturi din uleiul
esential ales. :plica direct compresa pe zona vizata si las-o pe piele douazeci de minute.
)a dus
Iti poti prepara singura gelul de dus si chiar samponul. /umpara dintr-un magazin specializat in produse naturale si
biologice un gel de dus sau un sampon fara parfum si adauga uleiul tau esential preferat. ,roportia este de DC picaturi in
DA mililitri de gel. :mesteca bine inainte de utilizare. #e asemenea poti pune ?-F picaturi de ulei pe buretele tau de baie.
)a baie
#aca faci baie cu apa in care ai adaugat ulei esential, ai gri1a ca ea sa nu fie fierbinte si nu sta mai mult de ?A de minute
in cada. :vanta1ul balilor este ca uleiul esential nu patrunde doar prin piele, ci si prin caile respiratorii, pentru ca se
dega1a in vaporii de baie.
Uleiul nu este solubil in apa si de aceea trebuie diluat intr-un produs specific inainte de a-l varsa in apa de baie. 9%ista
pe piata produse in care acesta a fost de1a diluat. Unul dintre ele sunt emulsiile pe baza de ulei esential, pe care le gasim
in magazinele specializate sau in farmacii.
