Diffusing: One of the most common ways to use May Chang Essential Oil is in an aromatherapy diffuser or electric vaporizer. Simply add a few drops to your device and let the aroma fill your environment.
Inhaling: For those who do not own a vaporizer or diffuser, the same aromatic and therapeutic benefits can be received by inhaling directly from the bottle. Just ensure that the oil does not come into direct contact with the skin as this may cause irritation.
Warm Bath: You can add a few drops of May Chang Oil to a warm bath. This may be particularly beneficial to anyone wanting to ease muscle soreness.
Cleansing Shower: You can also add a drop to each corner of your shower; the aroma will rise with the steam to create a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere.

Massage: To create a May Chang infused massage oil, simply add a few drops to a carrier oil or base massage oil and gently massage into sore areas.
Skin Serum: To treat various skin complaints, simply add a few drops to a carrier oil and apply to affected areas.
Moisturiser: For those wanting to use May Chang Oil on the skin, but do not want an oil-based formulation, add a few drops to a base moisturiser.

While essential oils are natural products, they are extremely potent and can cause serious harm if used incorrectly. For this reason, we recommend the following:

• In line with the Therapeutic Goods Act, we do not recommend ingesting essential oils without the guidance of a registered Aromatherapist or Naturopath.
• Avoid using May Chang essential oil during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding.
• We recommend storing your essential oils in a cool, dry place at room temperature, ensuring that they are not directly exposed to sunlight and are out of reach of children or pets.
• May Chang Essential Oil is very concentrated and is likely to cause irritation or reactions if applied directly to the skin. For this reason, it is important to first dilute your essential oils before using topically (on the skin). Our recommended dilution percentages can be found under the ‘Directions for Use’ section.
