Incorporating essentials oils into your day can be a great way to help boost your mood, improve your energy, relax and naturally cleanse your body.
When deciding on which company or brand to chose, you’ll want to make sure that it’s organic, 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oil.
There are so many knockoffs on shelves these days, like at Walmart or your local drug store, that you’ve really got to be careful or you could potentially just add more toxins into your body.
There are a few different ways to use essential oils:
- diffuse them in a diffuser so that the tiny particles get inhaled
- personal care, such as in baths and in cosmetics
- in a roller bottle for topical use
- internally/orally
Now with the last two, it’s very important to do extensive research to make sure that a particular essential oil doesn’t require a carrier oil and that the oil is safe to ingest.
If you find a non-toxic candle with any of the scents or oils infused in them, that’s one of my favorite ways as well. Not only are the flickering of candles a relaxing sight, their fragrances can be too.
This article isn’t going to be “A Guide To Safely Using Essential Oils“, so please, before using any essential oil that I recommend check to see:
- What are the health benefits of _______ essential oil?
- Are there any side effects with ________ essential oil?
- What is ________ essential oil used for?
- Will ________ essential oil interact or interfere with my medication?
- Can I apply/ingest _______ essential oil while I’m pregnant?
Here is Dr Axe Essential Oils Beginners Guide where you’ll find a lot of helpful information on how to apply them safely, carrier oils and the history of essential oils.
