Three Ways to Use Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils

(Aromatically, Topically and Externally-Around the Home)

Aromatically

When inhaling, essential oil molecules bring the benefits by directly entering the blood stream through the

lungs and affecting the brain through the olfactory nerves in the nasal cavity.

Inhale the oils directly by placing a couple of drops in the palm of your left hand and rub clockwise with

the palm of your right hand. Cup both hands together over the nose and mouth and inhale deeply –

without touching your eyes. You can put a few drops in some hot water (not boiling) and inhale the steam

with a towel over your head. (This is a great way to address a cold or cough.) You can also apply a

couple of drops to areas of your body – like the chest, neck, wrists, ears or under the nose -- and breathe

in the aroma during the day.

A very effective way to inhale essential oils throughout the day in your home or office is with an essential

oil diffuser.

Topically

With this approach, the essential oil may be diluted in a carrier oil (like fractionated coconut oil) and applied to the skin. Layering essential oils is the process of applying one oil, rubbing it in, and then applying another oil. Blending essential oils is adding two or more oils to a glass bottle so that they can be applied all at once. The best place to start applying therapeutic oils topically is on the bottom of the feet. Just place three or four drops on each foot and massage them in. You can also put a drop on the bottom of the big toe which is the fastest way to work thru your bloodstream.

Using essential oils on the wrist, back of neck and temples are popular places to apply them. They can also be rubbed into other place of the body, such as the back, shoulders, knees, and stomach. You are able to use more than one oil on the same place. Essential oils can be used with a warm compress or cold pack, according to the need. Using essential oils in a massage are also helpful. .

Externally – Around the Home

This amazing discovery will not only eliminate the need for toxic chemicals in commercial cleaning products that can contain carcinogens or allergens and it will also save you money!

Here are a few ways essential oils can be used around the home

- Use Lemon oil for sticky residue, gum or grease removal - Make your own furniture polish with Lemon or White Fir oil on a dust cloth. - Deodorize your carpet with Melaleuca or Lemon with baking soda. - Spray disinfecting oil (Defense, Lemon or Lime) to clean countertops. - Add your favorite oil to laundry detergent to purify and deodorize it or make your own.

* Ingesting essential oils in not recommended unless you are working with a certified Aromatherapist. Talk to your doctor because inHALE therapeutic essential oils are highly concentrated and could interact with certain medications a person is taking.

For each single oil you will see how to use them Aromatically and Topically.
