​#31 drops of oil – October 6

We've talked about many ways to use essential oils and you might be prompted to think:  Three ways to use essential oils and with each of the three there are multiple options … So, what’s the BEST way to use essential oils?

Let me give two responses:

​
First a “global” common sense answer: “Work within the limits of your own knowledge.”

What does that mean?  Do some research, grow in your own experience, learn from others … and above all:  do what is comfortable to you.

 (I’ll share the second, more specific answer to that question tomorrow!!)

And here’s three more pieces of great advice:
  • Consistent use is key. Use small amounts: 1 – 3 drops -- throughout the day.  Not 20 drops all at once.  And use daily if you have an on-going problem.
  • You don’t need EVERY oil, but you do need a variety of oils.  What does this mean?  You don’t need every citrus oil – at least one to three is good enough.  But you should have a variety –- spices, grasses, mints, citrus, flowers, herbs, trees, etc. -- of oils to address different types of concerns.
  • Don’t get in a rut and always use the same oil day in and day out.  That’s the beauty of oils—- so many choices to address your issues!  Try different oils in different combinations to find a variety of solutions and switch it up now and then. Our bodies evolve, go through stresses of various types.  These changes change your response and need for oils.

Here’s a little insight into how I've grown through my own research and experience to use essential oils on a daily basis. I use essential oils pretty much all day long in all three ways!
  • First I decide what my goal is and then I choose the best option for the issue I want to address. Very often I use all three pathways.  And I am constantly diffusing something!
  • Diffusing:  to cleanse the air of any kind of threat; to support the immune and/or respiratory system; for mood and/or pleasant aroma and for restful sleep.  I use a variety of oils throughout the day.  Right now I really love Spearmint and Lemongrass in my diffuser during the day.  In the evenings I love Wild Orange and Vetiver.  If I'm fighting something off, I diffuse OnGuard, Melaleuca and a Citrus -- sometimes I throw in other oils, depending on what the issue is.  I have an aromatherapy necklace as well and love placing 2-3 drops of a favorite oil in the locket!
  • Topical: for targeted aches and pains – apply where needed (mostly I love Wintergreen and Douglas Fir); for perfume – apply to pulse points (Whisper + Bergamot + Peppermint; the new Aromatherapy Blends); for respiratory – Our new Breathe Vapor Stick around my nose, down my neck and on my chest.
  • Internal:  two drops of Frankincense under the tongue twice daily; capsules of Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint and Melaleuca for seasonal issues; Lemon in my drinking water; Bergamot in hot tea; Big Gun oils in a capsule when required. We have gel capsules of some of our blends that I take regularly as well.
There are thousands of uses for essential oils.  This is just a partial list of a few of the ways I use them on a daily basis.

TIP #6:  Work within the limits of your own knowledge. Learn from others and gain knowledge from your own experience. 

​Here’s a great use for essential oils.  Sit down and shut your eyes before breathing this in.  Ve
ry effective!
