Your Guide To Essential Oils
Both ancient and contemporary at the same time, Essential Oils have been a part of traditional medicine and wellness since time immemorial. Appreciated because of their fragrance and other benefits, these oils represent the very best of what nature has to offer us - yet, need to be 100% pure for them to be effective. When pure, they can be extremely helpful in aiding a variety of issues that modern life often poses - from stress to insomnia to even relaxation. However, understanding How, Why, and When to use is extremely important!
Before we begin: Essential Oils are natural oil extracted from plants, flowers, and trees and can be extremely potent and beneficial! Depending on how you choose to use them, it’s best to consult a medical expert before using it topically.
How To Use Essential Oils?
Essential Oils can be used in two key ways; by diffusing it or by applying it topically. Since these are extremely potent, one must dilute them with a Carrier Oil of your choice (which tends to be a vegetable oil). For example, 2 to 3 drops of Lavender Oil mixed with 10 drops of Avocado Oil diffused can create a relaxing environment for you at the end of the day.
If you would like to use these topically, it’s best to consult your medical expert, more specifically, a dermatologist, before you do so. While these natural products are extremely beneficial, they are also quite potent and can impact your skin negatively.
Choosing your Essential Oils is also quite straightforward - just think of the kinds of scents that bring a smile to your face or think of an issue you would like resolved (Stress, perhaps?) and that will help you choose!
Why Should You Use Essential Oils?
What if we told you you could feel more connected to the world around you? Feel grounded in the moment? Feel rested and refreshed every single day?
These Essential Oils can help elevate your mood, health, and everyday - now, isn’t that a very good reason to incorporate them into your routine?
When Should You Use Essential Oils?
The beauty of these oils lies in its versatility - you can use them at any moment of the day, during any part of your routine! Right from waking up, when an energizing Essential Oil like Lemongrass can help set the intention for the day to work when a focus-driven oil such as Cinnamon Bark can help scent your office to even end of day when a little bit of Hinoki in your bathroom can create a spa-like ambience immediately - Essential Oils can fit into your lifestyle seamlessly.
