Smelling Essential Oils

When you are shopping for essential oils and you want to safely sniff the scent, Kathi Keville, author of Aromatherapy for Dummies, recommends that you

(1) Smell the scent of the oil from the lid rather than the bottle.

(2) When sniffing an undiluted essential oil (EO), hold the lid about 6 to 10 inches away from your nose.

(3) Move the bottle or lid back and forth through the air to dilute the aromatic molecule.

(4) After smelling several eo's, clear your nose palate so that your can keep on sniffing other essential oils.
