3 Ways to Use Your Favorite Essential Oils

We know that essential oils provide us with a multitude of benefits, but if you've ever wondered how to use them most effectively? What are the right amounts? And any other questions that may be on your mind when considering using them, this blog is for you!

Today, we're going to tell you three fantastic ways you can use them to take full advantage of all their benefits.

Smell them directly

One of the easiest ways to enjoy essential oils is through inhalation . They are perfect stimulants, relaxants, purifiers, and anti-inflammatories.

If you want to relax or simply fall asleep after a long day, place a drop of your favorite oil on a handkerchief or in your palms, rub it together, and inhale and exhale as needed.

On the other hand, if you're looking to give your room a fresh, rich scent or eliminate unpleasant odors in certain spaces, place a couple of drops of your favorite oil (jasmine is a great option) on a cotton ball and place it on the surface you want to infuse with the fragrance. Another option is to use an ultrasonic diffuser, as this helps spread the aroma to every corner of your space, allowing you to take full advantage of all its benefits.

• The recommended oils for this method are: lavender, eucalyptus, clove, frankincense, and jasmine.

Apply them to your skin

Essential oils applied topically offer a localized benefit as they penetrate quickly through the skin.

Apply with gentle massages to areas such as the neck, nape of the neck, temples, chest, back, and soles of the feet. It's ideal for massages and for that much-needed relaxation. Avoid areas such as the eye contour, lips, and sensitive areas. Before using, remember to dilute with vegetable oils such as almond or rosehip.

 Being 100% natural, they have a high concentration, so we recommend diluting them in carrier oils, such as almond, jojoba, argan, etc.

• In this case, the use of oils such as tea tree, jojoba, and bergamot is recommended.

Oral Route

The oral use of essential oils has recently become more common in cooking recipes, facilitating rapid circulation in the bloodstream and taking greater advantage of their digestive properties.

It's important to know which oils can be administered orally, as only certain types can be administered orally. Although it's considered a safe and effective method of application, it's recommended to use small amounts . We recommend using one drop per liter of water.

• The oils you can use orally are: oregano, basil, mint, black pepper, turmeric, rosemary, cinnamon, lime, lemon, sweet orange, vanilla.

You're now ready to use essential oils and take advantage of all their benefits. There's no excuse! You can start today, and you'll notice the changes in your daily life.
