What is a practical, do-it-yourself method suggested for capturing the calming volatile compounds of the Buddha’s hand essential oils for topical application?
Gently peeling the zest, ensuring minimal white pith is included, and covering it completely with a neutral carrier oil like grapeseed oil for several weeks.
The text provides a specific, non-commercial technique for harnessing the therapeutic essential oils of the Buddha's hand for topical use, capitalizing on its robust fragrance. This method involves creating a home-infused massage oil. The user must gently peel the zest, avoiding the bitter white pith, and then fully submerge this zest in a neutral carrier oil, such as grapeseed or fractionated coconut oil. The mixture must then be allowed to infuse in a dark, cool location for an extended period, typically several weeks, which effectively transfers the calming volatile compounds into the oil for subsequent topical application.
