What are essential oils?
Historically, essential oils were used as part of cultural practices and traditions. However, we now have increasing scientific evidence and research showing that essential oils can be effectively and safely used in a wider range of day-to-day practices and routines for amazing benefits. Today, essential oils can be used for cooking, household cleaning, personal hygiene, and much, much more. When you use essential oils, you'll have more natural solutions and fewer toxic, synthetically manufactured products in your life and home.
How do I use essential oils?
There are 3 ways to use essential oils; Aromatically, Topically & Internally. With countless applications, you can reach for essential oils to naturally support your wellness every day. Each oil is unique, making it easy to find a natural solution for your specific health concerns. Some of the most popular essential oils are those with multiple benefits and application methods. These oils tend to become household favorites.
Usage Ideas
Aromatically
Your sense of smell is incredibly powerful. Use the power of aromatherapy to support your mood, emotions and your body by simply smelling essential oils.
Simple and easy
Open a bottle and inhale! This is the easiest way to use essential oils. Aromatic compounds work with your body and can send messages to your brain to calm, soothe, uplift and invigorate. Try opening a bottle of Lavender and just take in the scent. Can you feel the relaxation?
Diffuse for success
Ditch the candles and synthetic fragrance and your body will thank you! Did you know that you can create whatever vibe you want with essential oils? Diffuse citrus oils to uplift, floral oils to support relaxation or mint oils to invigorate. It is so easy! Having company over? Diffuse On Guard to combat seasonal threats and help cleanse the air. There is a diffuser blend for every kind of support you need!
Topically
Applying essential oils to your skin is a great way to support your body. Apply essential oils as part of a relaxing massage or work into tired muscles and joints for relief. You can even apply oils as part of your skincare routine.
Simple and easy
Many of doTERRA's essential oil blends were formulated specifically for topical application. Apply Deep Blue to tired muscles and joints or Balance to the bottoms of your feet in the morning to start your day off right. Did you know that Tea Tree can support skin irritation when applied topically? I love adding a drop or two of Immortelle to my nightly moisturizer for rejuvenating benefits.
Dilute for success
Contrary to popular belief, diluting your essential oils will only make them better! Essential oils are light, meaning they will evaporate quickly. Weigh them down and keep them where you want them for longer, by diluting them with a carrier oil. I prefer fractionated coconut oil. This unscented carrier oil will let your essential oils shine and work even better!
Internally
Using doTERRA's essential oils internally is only possible because of their extensive and rigorous testing. DoTERRA's essential oils are the most tested on the planet and in turn, the most pure and potent on the planet. DoTERRA is committed to providing essential oils that you can feel confident using. Keep this in mind when you are considering internal essential oil usage.
Simple and easy
Are you trying to drink more water? Flavor your beverages naturally with a drop of essential oil! You can cook and bake with essential oils and the best part, a little goes a long way. Just a drop or two will do. Essential oils can also be used internally to support and soothe digestive discomfort and can be used daily to support cellular health and vitality.
Dilute for success
It is always a great idea to dilute when using essential oils internally. Add a drop to your water or create a veggie cap with your favorite essential oils and top it with a few drops of fractionated coconut oil. If you're not sure if an oil can be used internally, just check the bottle! Supplement facts will be listed on your essential oil bottle if it is meant to be used internally.
