The Rare Gold Of Honey Essential Oil
Honey absolute is sometimes referred to as honey essential oil and it is so rare and so expensive that it is usually never mentioned in aromatherapy books. Many online aromatherapy supply shops will not carry it. And with the worldwide shortage of honeybees, the cost of honey is going through the roof and will probably further reduce the availability of honey for making honey essential oil or absolute. Unlike many other essential oils, honey oil will not blend with other oils. It is a solo performer. You cannot use it straight from the bottle – it needs to be diluted in alcohol (if it is 100% pure) and then warmed.
What is Honey Scent Good For?
Honey is a relaxant, an anti-spasmodic and also helps soothe the skin. You can use honey essential oil in the bath, in a small part of a massage blend or just warm it over a essential oil diffuser to smell it in order to help you unconsciously relax. You can also blend a warmed drop and add to unscented plain body lotion to help improve and smooth the skin. Since it is so rare, there has not been a lot of experiments done by aromatherapists to see what other physical uses to put it to.
If you decide to combine other essential oils in honey and start to think that the enticing mixture would be great in food, think again, essential oils are not meant to be swallowed .
