What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are the “life blood” of the plant. Extracted through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing, the purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals from which they come. Anytime you use Young Living essential oils, you are experiencing nature’s pure essence. The uses are endless, aromatherapy, personal care, household solutions, every aspect of daily life can benefit from the incorporation of essential oils.
3 Ways to use your Oils
You can access the power of essential oils many ways, but the most common uses are Aromatically, Topically and Internally.
Aromatically
When we inhale or diffuse, it takes 22 seconds for the oil to reach the limbic portion or your brain - the seat of emotions! Diffusing oils can help us experience less stress, more relaxation, focus, the list goes on.
~Add 4 to 10 drops of oil in your diffuser.
~Add 1-2 drops to a cotton ball, place in home or car vents.
~Add oils to diffuser jewelry to reap benefits all day.
~Add 2-3 drops to the palms of your hands and inhale or simply inhale from the bottle.
Tip- Diffusing purifies the air, makes your home smell amazing without scary chemicals found in candles and air fresheners.
