We love them for their exquisite scent, but we don't always know the benefits of essential oils. At Bodia, the "apothecary of Cambodia", secrets are shared.
Ten tips for use :
Bodia essential oils
Bodia essential oils are highly concentrated natural extracts of plant leaves, flowers, seeds, bark, buds and stems - a real gift from nature! Have you just bought an essential oil or perhaps received a gift from someone and you may be wondering how to use it? Let us guide you:
Creating a fresh, fragrant environment in the home
Bodia Spa customers are usually seduced by the scent of eucalyptus or lemongrass. Have you ever imagined smelling these aromas in your home?
Simply get one of our Bodia essential oil diffusers, add 3 or 4 drops of your favourite essential oils to hot water and enjoy a natural scent in your home.
Clean floors
In addition to their pleasant scent, pure Tea Tree essential oils are powerful and contain active ingredients that can destroy certain microbes, bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Add five drops of essential oils to three cups of cleaning solution and enjoy the sweet scent of this aroma in your home while eliminating unwanted pests.
Hand disinfectant
During this period of pandemic COVID-19 precautions, hand sanitiser can be very expensive and not always easy to find. Try this gentle, moisturising and very fragrant solution:
⅔ cup alcohol
⅓ cup Aloe Vera gel.
15 drops of your favourite essential oils
Store the mixture in a bottle and keep it in your handbag, car, sleeping bag or wherever you think it will come in handy.
Sleep well with Ylang Ylang
Preparing a few drops of our Ylang Ylang essential oil with distilled water will help you fall asleep more quickly. Add the solution to a spray bottle and diffuse lightly on your sheets. Leave to dry for around 20 minutes before going to bed. Peaceful sleep guaranteed.
Massage oil
You can create your own massage oil with our five types of essential oil by adding 15 to 20 drops diluted with 1/2 cup of paraffin oil.
Make the bath last and enjoy its benefits
Relax in your bath with our Ylang Ylang essential oil! Add it to warm water and enjoy the relaxing effects and gentle fragrance of this exotic flower.
Perfect hair health
Dry scalp? Dandruff? Hair loss? Say goodbye to these problems by changing your hair-washing routine! Add a few drops of Ylang Ylang essential oil to your shampoo if you have a dry scalp.
Use citronella essential oil if you suffer from dandruff. If your hair is falling out, we recommend Tea Tree essential oil to help it grow back.
Treat acne with Tea Tree essential oil
Tea Tree essential oil is an active ingredient used in many cosmetic products to treat acne. But you can apply the oil to the affected area twice a day as part of your skincare routine in the morning and evening for persistent acne problems.
Mouthwash
The antiseptic and antibacterial effect of aromatherapy essential oils is perfect for freshening breath and helping to maintain healthy gums. Simply add a few drops of essential oil to a cup of water and perform a few ablutions.
Fight colds
If your cold medication isn't working, consider using alternative methods to treat your symptoms. Adding eucalyptus essential oils to a towel and smelling them for a few minutes several times a day can help to clear your airways!
