Essential oils are one of the oldest forms of medicine in history. Though they have been used for many purposes, their popularity has recently exploded due to aromatherapy and natural living trends such as using essential oils instead of harsh chemicals while cleaning or supporting immunity with a single drop!
Some of them have been used as diffuser perfumes. Some common examples include lavender, peppermint, frankincense, eucalyptus oil, tea tree and rosemary but there is no better way to figure out what you need than by trying different ones until you find just right combination that works best for your needs based on how often it’s needed.
Amazingly, essential oils have countless beneficial uses apart from room scent diffusers. Essential oils are also compounds that are extracted from natural sources such as plants. Other raw materials like wood, bark, leaves, root seeds, or peel are subjected to a process called distillation.
How to Use Essential Oils
Topically
Topical application of essential oils is a popular way to use the natural healing power they have. To apply, just dilute your oil with carrier oil like coconut and then rub it all over you. Topical applicators are an easy way to get your daily dose of therapeutic essentials right where you need them: on our skin!
By mixing up some diluted or undiluted essential oils in roller-bottles using carriers like coconuts, argan (or any high quality vegetable/nut based) lotion etc., we can easily roll these around onto whatever area needs relief from pain or tension, without having to worry about messy spills.
Aromatically
Diffusing essential oils is the most common way to use them, and there are a few different ways you can do it. Diffusers work by turning off and on intermittently throughout the day or night depending on how long your diffuser runs in one go for large spaces like living rooms with open space where doors stay closed all of the time.
Add less oil in your kids’ bedrooms at bedtime so that they still sleep well while also using our atmospherics sparingly when waking up from naps. This means to breathe in the oils. You can use a diffuser to expel the oils into air as fine mist—diffusing is probably the best known method of usage for both home/workplace settings.
Ingesting
If you’re looking for a way to spice up your drink, try adding some essential oils! There are many different options when it comes to what type of oil you want. Your morning coffee can be taken from bland and boring into something more exciting with just one drop of peppermint essential oil. Lemon essential oil could also turn an ordinary glass of water into rejuvenating zesty lemonade.
