These ancient sciences have been adopted by Western medicine and are even taught in several medical schools in the U.S. See similar questions...

Essential oils enter the body in several different ways. They are absorbed through the skin passing into the circulatory system. They can also be inhaled, passing into the blood stream through the lungs or through the nose to the brain causing signals to be transmitted directly to the limbic system in the brain. Smelling or diffusing the oils into the air is a basic way to transmit the oils. Massage is also a very popular method of working the oils into the body, but a fixed oil is needed.

Essential oils can produce remarkable therapeutic results when used with massage. They have the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin tissues and are then circulated throughout the entire body/mind system. Inhaling the aromatic vapors also has an immediate and beneficial effect upon the mind and emotions. For internal problems, massage the appropriate oil(s) (diluted) over the affected area. Add 10-12 drops of the chosen essential oil(s) per 1 ounce of massage oil (this is a 2% dilution). See similar questions...
