How to Use Essential Oils on Lava Beads
Lava beads are more than just beautiful; they are perfect carriers for essential oils. In this blog post, I will guide you on how to make the most of your lava bead bracelet by adding your favorite scents.
Introduction to Lava Beads and Essential Oils
Lava beads are a unique type of bead made from volcanic rock, known for their porous texture. This texture makes them excellent carriers for essential oils, allowing you to enjoy your favorite scents throughout the day. By adding just a drop or two of essential oil, you can turn your jewelry into a personal diffuser that not only looks great but also helps you feel calm, energized, or focused, depending on the oil you choose.
Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Essential Oils
Choose Your Essential Oil: Select an essential oil based on the mood or benefit you desire. Lavender for relaxation, peppermint for energy, or eucalyptus for focus are popular choices.
Apply the Oil: Place your lava bead bracelet on a flat surface. Using the dropper, apply just one drop of essential oil onto one or two lava beads. Be careful not to 'drown' the beads as excess oil can weaken the elastic cord over time.
Allow Absorption: Give the oil a few minutes to fully absorb into the beads. This ensures that the oil doesn't transfer to your skin or clothing.
Wipe Away Excess: Use a soft cloth to gently wipe away any excess oil from the surface of the beads. This step is crucial to prevent skin sensitivities, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Wear and Enjoy: Once the oil is absorbed and any excess is wiped away, your bracelet is ready to wear. Enjoy the subtle scent that will linger throughout the day.
Best Essential Oils for Lava Bead Jewellery
Lavender: For a calming effect, ideal for winding down in the evening.

Tips for Prolonging the Life of Your Bracelet
To keep your lava bead bracelet in the best condition, avoid applying oils too frequently or using oils with strong chemicals. Stick to pure, natural essential oils and follow the steps above to maintain both the bracelet's elasticity and your skin's comfort.
