What is Standard Oil?

We use the term Standard Oil to indicate potential reforming of the constituent profile. Conformity of the material with certain criteria is stipulated by an industry standard. The makeup of these oils is uniquely specific and is intended to standardize the oil profile for conformities sake. They are classed as standard oils because they are comprised of either naturally derived and/or nature-identical aromatic ingredients.

Description

Roman Chamomile is a sweet-scented perennial with daisy-like flowers and feathery leaves. The oil is distilled from the flowering tops of the plant. It has a pleasant apple fragrance. This plant has been long known for its therapeutic properties. Roman chamomile is a gentle oil, which makes it suitable for children. Relaxing and pain-relieving properties make it useful for treating complaints of the digestive and nervous systems. Having both sedative and anti-inflammatory properties, this oil is helpful for painful conditions and restlessness such as teething in infants, colic and indigestion.

Directions

Essential oils are the highly concentrated active ingredients of plants. They should always be diluted in a base before use and should not be taken internally without professional recommendation.

• Baths: Add 5 – 10 drops of essential oil(s) to a warm run bath. If the skin is sensitive, blend the essential oil in a teaspoon of carrier oil first. Close the door so the vapours don’t escape. Soak for at least 10 minutes relaxing and breathing deeply. For added moisturising dilute the oils in 10ml of the carrier before adding to the bath.
• Massage: add 5 – 6 drops of essential oil per 10ml of carrier oil. Mix thoroughly and apply liberally to the skin.
• Inhalations: Add 4 – 5 drops of essential oil to a bowl of steaming water. Place a towel over your head, close your eyes and lean over the bowl. Inhale the vapour for a few minutes.
• Burners and Diffusers: Fill the bowl of the burner/vaporiser with water and then add 3 – 6 drops of essential oil. Light the candle and the oil will evaporate as the water heats up. Do not let the bowl dry out.
