Methods Of Essential Oils

Essential Oils can be utilized in different ways;

Essential oils are useful for a wide range of emotional and physical issues. They can be used as a single oil or in complex blends combining different essence depending on user experience and desired benefit. Essential oils are usually administered in any of these three ways: topical application, diffused aromatically or taken internally as dietary supplements.

Topical Uses

Due to their natural molecular composition, essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically. Application of essential oils can have immediate, localized benefit to the target area of application. They have restorative and calming properties and can be used effectively with massage and beauty therapy. They are also natural disinfectants. The chemical structure of essential oils also allows them to be absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin for internal benefit throughout the body.


Aromatic Uses

Our sense of smell influences many physiological pathways including the stimulation of hormones and other metabolic processes. Essential oils are widely used in aromatherapy applications. Certain essential oils, when diffused in the air, can be very stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing. Beyond emotional benefits, diffusing essential oils can purify air of unwanted odors and some airborne pathogens. Low or no-heat essential oil diffusers are recommended as they do not change the chemical structure of the oil being diffused. Essential oils can also be used as cleansing and purifying additives to laundry and surface cleaners throughout the home. Examples used here include lavender, sandalwood and so on

Internal Uses

Essential oils can also be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety of healthy conditions. Some essential oils have powerful antioxidant properties while others help support healthy inflammatory response in cells. Many essential oils are generally regarded as being safe for dietary use, but some oils should not be taken internally. Do not use any essential oil product internally that does not have the appropriate dietary supplement facts on its label. Examples that can be used here include ginger oil, garlic oil and so on.


Using essential oils can be simple and life changing at the same time. Working with someone who has used essential oils before will help first-time users have a more beneficial and enjoyable experience.

Note: Use only 100 percent pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils and follow all warnings and instructions on label.

Essential oils should not be used inside the eyes, inside the ear canal, or in open wounds.

If redness or irritation occurs when using topically, apply coconut oil or olive oil, to the affected area. Consult your physician before using essential oils if you are pregnant.
