How to use essential oils?
You can access the power of essential oils many ways, but the most common practices include aromatic diffusion, topical application, and dietary consumption. These methods bring the pure essence of health-promoting botanicals to your home, family, and life.
Ways to enjoy Aromatically:
- Diffuser: Add 6 to 10 drops of Essential Oil to diffuser
- Dry Evaporation: Add 3 drops of Essential Oil to clay diffuser
- Breathe In: Put 2 to 3 drops of Essential oil to your palm, rub your hands together, and cup it to your nose and take a few deep breathe
The study tested for linalool and linalyl acetate (the two major constituents of Lavender essential oil) in the blood following a gentle abdominal massage with a 2 percent Lavender/98 percent peanut oil blend. Amounts of both constituents were identified 15 minutes after the beginning of the massage, with the peak occurring at around 30 minutes. The study also calculated the half-life of the constituents: 13.76 minutes for linalool and 14.3 minutes for linalyl acetate.
Ways to enjoy Topically:
- Bottom of the feet is a great place to start.
- Other favorite place: neck, temples, behind ears, wrists, chest, stomach, along spine.
- Add into your skincare regime, personal care product or body massage oils.
The rich, bright aromas of essential oils can add a delicious kick of flavor to your favorite recipes. Get creative and enjoy all the culinary possibilities of essential oils. Remember, essential oils are potent.
When cooking, one drop goes a long way! If you add oils to a drink, make sure to use a glass or stainless-steel bottle because oils will degrade plastic.
