1. Methods of Application:
   • Inhalation: Breathing in the aroma of essential oils is the most common method. This can be done through diffusers, steam inhalation, or simply smelling the oils from a bottle.
   • Topical Application: Essential oils can be applied to the skin through massage, bath products, or lotions. They are usually diluted with carrier oils to prevent skin irritation.
   • Internal Use: Some essential oils can be ingested, but this should only be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.
