So, How do I use essential oils?

 Once your package arrives from Young Living, how do you know what to do with them???  Let me just tell you...........they're so easy to use!!!!  

The first way we will discuss is topically..........You can take a drop or two of these oils & apply them to your skin.  You may also want to dilute EOs with a carrier oil (such as coconut oil, olive oil, or grapeseed oil) before massaging into your skin. 


Next we will talk about using the oils aromatically.  These molecules are so tiny that they travel directly to the center of your brain.....to the headquarters of the limbic system.  When diffused essential oils have a powerful ability to communicate to the brain & emotions.  Isn't that amazing????  How do we use them aromatically?  You can take your bottle of essential oil & open it & inhale directly over the bottle or put a drop in your hands, rub & cup them over your nose.  You can also use a diffuser or put a drop or two in a bowl of hot water & breathe the fumes. 


Finally, you can take Young Living Essential oils internally!! (**Disclaimer:  Only pure essential oils, proven safe and labeled as dietary supplements (therapeutic grade), should be used internally.  Dilution and dosage is dependent on the age, size, and the health constitution of the individual.  Follow the recommended dosage on individual product labels to ensure safety or seek the advice of a health professional before administering oils internally.)  These essential oils can be added to your water or put directly under your tongue.  You can also get empty veggie or gelatin capsules & put drops in them & then fill with olive oil. 
We LOVE Young Living Essential Oils at this house.  We use them all three ways listed above & we use them daily.
