Lava Beads

Lava beads are a popular choice for diffusing essential oils due to their porous nature. The beads are made from natural lava rock, which is formed when molten lava cools and hardens. The porous texture of the lava rock allows it to absorb and retain essential oils, releasing their aroma slowly over time.

To use lava beads with essential oils, you can follow these steps:

Select a piece of jewellery that features lava beads, ensuring that the beads are of a suitable size to hold the essential oil.

Select your essential oil: Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that come in a wide range of scents and therapeutic properties. Choose an essential oil that you enjoy or one that provides the benefits you’re seeking. Popular choices include lavender, peppermint, lemon, and eucalyptus, but there are many others to explore.

Apply the essential oil: Place a drop or two of the essential oil directly onto one or more of the lava beads. The porous nature of the lava rock will absorb the oil, allowing it to slowly diffuse over time. Be careful not to use too much oil, as it can potentially overpower the scent or cause skin irritation if it comes into direct contact with your skin.

Allow the oil to absorb: Once you’ve applied the essential oil, allow the lava beads to absorb it for a few minutes. This will ensure that the oil is properly absorbed and distributed throughout the bead.

Wear and enjoy: Once the essential oil has been absorbed, you can wear your lava bead jewellery as you would any other accessory. The scent of the oil will gradually be released from the beads, providing you with a subtle and personal aromatherapy experience.

It’s important to note that the scent from the essential oil will gradually fade over time as the oil is diffused. When the scent becomes less noticeable, you can reapply the oil or switch to a different essential oil if desired.

Remember to exercise caution when using essential oils, as some oils can cause skin irritation or have other contraindications. It’s always a good idea to do a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the oil to your lava beads and wearing them. Additionally, if you have any specific health concerns or conditions, it’s best to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before using essential oils.
