USE THIS WAY
Experts explained the methods of using this natural medicine as follows:
* You can either use water, hydrosol (such as lavender water) or alcohol-water.
* You should pay attention to the properties of the oils you will buy and whether they are analyzed.
* When you apply the mixture directly to the skin, it may cause allergies. Therefore, if you want to apply it on your skin, you can choose hydrosol (Lavender hydrosol) instead of water. You should not apply it often.
* You can spray it in your environment. You can spray it on your clothes.
* You can also store it in the refrigerator.
* Shake well before squeezing.
* It is normal to have oil droplets. If you want no droplets, you can mix it with alcohol and water.
