Have you ever wondered what essential oils are? How they made? Or even how to use them? If you have, then today’s blog post is for you! Join us as we go through the basics of Essential Oils 101.

ESSENTIAL OILS 101

1. What Are Essential Oils?

• Natural aromatic compounds found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants.
• Highly concentrated when distilled for purity, potency, and efficacy. They are 50-70 time mores more powerful than herbs. One drop of peppermint essential oil is equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea. Whoa!!!
• Used historically for food preparation,  beauty treatment, and health-care practices.

2. Why are essential oils effective?

• Essential oils work at the cellular level and protect cells.  They also are nutrients that penetrate the cell membranes.
• Their unique chemical structure allows oils to pass directly through the skin for immediate systemic response to topical application.  That means the oils work almost immediately! They are a healthy and safe way to take care of yourself and family.

3. How Do I Use Essential Oils?

 Aromatic- Smell!

• Inhale the essential oils or use a diffuser.  What you breathe affects your mood and well being.
• When essential oils are diffused or inhaled, they can be very calming, or soothing.  Diffusing oils can cleanse the air and help create a positive atmosphere.

Internal- Drink!

• Just one drop can do the trick! One drop of essential oil can service every cell of your body.
•  Add a drop right under your tongue, add a drop or two to water and drink
• Add essential oil to a disposable capsule.  Some of the most popular essential oils come in softgel capsules.
• Some of our favorite oils to add to a glass of water or take in a capsule OnGuard, DigestZen, Slim & Sassy, and Lemon!

Topical-On the skin!

• Because essential oils are fat-soluble when they are applied directly to the skin they are easily absorbed by the skin.
• When rubbing oil on the bottom of your feet, it can nourish your blood stream within 30 seconds.
• Apply to soles feet, chest, back of neck, ears, temples, and troubled areas.
• You can also add essential oils with lotions, creams or coconut oil.  This also helps to dilute the oils if needed.
• Some of our favorites are Peppermint on the temples to help clear mind. Deep Blue on the bottom of our feet for a long walking day. One drop of Frankincense in face lotion for moisture and youthfulness.
