Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
Topical: Dilute with a carrier oil, unscented lotion or unscented cream and apply on area of concern or as desired. Consider using a roll-on applicator for ease of application of prediluted oil. Rosalina is considered gentle on the skin and can typically be applied (diluted) directly to cuts and scrapes, acne and on the chest and back for respiratory issues, but always test on a small area first to check for sensitivity. Many aromatherapists recommend Rosalina instead of Tea Tree.

Since Rosalina does not have a limiting dilution parameter, we suggest that adults follow the General Guidelines found on the Dilution Chart, which is:

2-3% for daily application

Up to 25% for short-term use

Children: For infants and children, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Soothing Scalp Massage Formula
6 drops Rosalina
4 drops Spike Lavender
3 drops Rosemary ct cineole
2 drops Peppermint
1oz Grapeseed or Jojoba oil (1.5% dilution)
Some apply a scalp massage oil nightly and wrap their hair with a cotton turben or shower cap then wash their hair in the morning. Others might opt to apply and leave on for 15 minutes or more then wash the hair. There is not a right or wrong way to do this, so find a method that works for you. We'd love to hear feedback if you wish to share.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Rosalina is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. We feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. HEO does not advocate internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective used topically with proper dilution or inhaled. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph.D. notes that "French aromatherapy literature contains many references to using oils orally." He goes on to note that "generally 1 drop is always enough when ingesting essential oils." A potential toxicity hazard could occur when untrained people use essential oils orally and ingest too much. Keep in mind that while medical doctors or health care practitioners may prescribe essential oils for internal use, they are trained and experienced in the safe application of essential oils. It is not a matter of using "French aromatherapy" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application. Click here for information about internal usage.

1. Thank you for offering the Rosalina. I purchased it for my daughter's acne, and it has made such a significant impact on clearing up her face that she's actually learning to get past the scent because of its amazing effect on her sensitive skin! (She's a picky 13-year-old. . . I really appreciate the scent of it, and my co-workers also were drawn to it.) Even she realizes that it works a million times better than the commercially-available cleansers marketed to clear up acne. She applies undiluted, and it did not aggravate her skin even though most everything else does. We didn't try to dilute because it was gentle enough to be used undiluted and we were concerned that the carrier would further block her pores. - Melissa [HEO's comment: Even gentle oils like Rosalina and Lavender can eventually create sensitization issues, so unless spot treating occasionally, we feel it's best to dilute. Carrier oils such as Coconut, Jojoba, infused Calendula, Grapeseed or Emu oil may actually help improve acne issues, as they help keep the pores moist so they function better. Coconut oil is a dry and well-absorbed oil, but not the best choice for actively inflammed skin, although it does have antimicrobial properties. Jojoba is dry, light and absorbs well, helping the skin retain moisture, which may help prevent the skin from overcompensating with more oil production. Grapeseed is good for oily skin with crusty or flaky acne.]
We offer this as an example of a suitable, moisturizng blend for acne:
4oz glass bottle
2oz Grapeseed oil
1oz Jojoba oil (or another oil of your choice)
1/2oz Infused Calendula oil
1/2oz Evening Primrose oil
15 drops Lavender
5 drops Rosalina
5 drops Oregano can be added if the above doesn't adequately deal with the bacteria

2. I'm 18-weeks pregnant with congestion and a dry cough. I diffused Rosalina and, due to its mucolytic properties, it made my nose runny. Then all the problems vanished. I had no more congestion or coughing. I can breathe again! I love this oil! - Ellie

Safety
Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
