How to Use Essential Oils

There are many uses for essential oils to protect and support your health and wellness. And, of course there are many ways to use them. Here are the basic five ways to use essential oils. We will dive into these four ways in more detail over the next few weeks.

  • Aromatic or aromatherapy 
  • Topical 
  • Internal - using Young Living Vitality essential oils*
  • Cleaning 
*Vitality essential oils are the same high-quality essential oils we offer for aromatic and topical use but are labeled for internal us

 Aromatherapy

 Smells are triggers to memories from the past and can bring feelings of comfort, and calmness.  For instance, the smell of pine may bring memories of a pleasant walk in the woods.  Aromatherapy is as easy as just inhaling the aroma directly from the bottle. You can also diffuse the essential oil of choice through the use of a diffuser, jewelry, cotton balls, paper, clothing, wood, even your hair.  Pure therapeutic essential oils can be very supportive of the emotions, nervous system and the brain.



Diffuser Jewelry

Here are some examples of jewelry designed to absorb or store a couple of drops of essential oils.  The three necklaces on the sides are clay based that absorb the oil so that you can benefit from the aromatic qualities where ever you go.  The blue pitcher is a type that holds a drop or two in the bottom so it can slowly evaporate surrounding you in its aroma.  Lastly is the braclet that is made from lava beads.  lava beads are a great medium for absorbing essential oils. Diffuser jewelry can also be made from 100% cotton felt.  What an awesome way to carry the benefits of aroma therapy with you all day long.


Those who know me well can probably guess as to which piece is my favorite.

Meet Kim Diers

 
I first learned about and started using essential oils for health and wellness around 2009.  At that time, I used peppermint oil to support my digestive and muscle systems; and oregano oil to support my immune and respiratory systems.  When my first bottle of peppermint oil ran out I could not find the brand that I had been using, so I bought a different brand.  I noticed that it did not seem to have the same effect on me as before.  I wondered, "Is it the peppermint oil, or is it the brand?"

During this time, I started reading Facebook posts by a friend, a fellow Young Living Distributor, and grew to know the superior standardized quality of their oils through her, as well as the way they supported her health and that of her family.  September 2013, I was able to experience Young Living  essential oils (YLEO) for myself.  After looking, smelling, and even tasting them, I was hooked and signed up to be a member.

Upon getting my Premium Starter Kit, I immediately opened checked out the peppermint oil.  OH, what a difference!  What a revitalizing, and refreshing  smell.  I compared the smell to the other brands I had in the house.  The others smelled sweeter, more like food grade or like that had a sweetener added to them.  Nothing like the strong, pure smell of the Young Living Peppermint essential oil.

I soon discovered how easy it was to share my experiences with YLEOs with others and decided to become a distributor, signing up for YL's Essential Rewards autoship program  before my first was over.

I would like to help you discover YLEO for yourself, helping you on your essential oil journey.  It is the best decision you can make for the health and wellness of yourself and your family.

Kim
