(You can't make a mistake when choosing which oil is best for you! By anointing our body with these oils daily, we send signals of love, warmth, caring, stability and calm to each and every cell. Simply apply the oil before or after bathing. I prefer to do so after showering: sit comfortably on a towel, take a few slow and deep breaths and apply the oil to your skin, moving in long, smooth strokes over the limbs and in a circular motion over the joints. When you get to the belly, move the hands over the stomach, following the path of the large intestine, from right to left. Self-massage is a beautiful practice that can take as little as 5 minutes or as long as 15 minutes. Some rituals include bathing your bottle of "abhy" in warm water before use (place in a non-permeable bag before doing so, as to preserve your recyclable label) to warm the oil just a tad, which is oh so comforting in the long months of winter. Apply a small amount of oil to your body, it will quickly be absorbed into your skin, leaving it supple and smooth. Allow oil time to absorb before dressing. Included with a 4 oz. bottle is glass dropper so you can re-apply your special blend throughout the day. When you're on the go you can place the 4 oz. bottle into the muslin sachet provided, and pop it into your bag so you can take your abhy where ever you go (and share the goodness with a friend!). All ingredients are natural, meaning, there are no synthetics involved in the blending of these oils. Always test a small area on the inner wrist to be sure that your body accepts the oils. Please contact me should you have any questions. Do not apply oil to mucous membranes and do not apply over broken/injured areas of skin. Oil is for topical use only. Please keep out of reach of children.
