This cute little bottle of essential oils has cost you a lot. Problem is, you don’t know how to use it. And, truthfully, you’re afraid of this little bottle. It’s super concentrated and you need to use it wisely. Keep your wits about you! It is easier than you might think to use essential oils to improve your health. You will find the answers you are looking for in this article. Most people say that they bought essential oils many years ago but never opened them. They don’t know what to do with them or if they are still good. First, email me a list with the oils you have and the manufacturer (or search online). This will allow me to locate the manufacturer and tell if your oil has been cut or therapeutic.
Read the Labels
If you have a magnifying lens, you can read the labels. If it lists anything other than an essential oil name, it is cut. If it does not include key words such as therapeutic or EOBBD test, it is cut. It is important to note that aromatherapy or 100% pure don’t necessarily mean much. They can be labeled as 100% pure according to aromatherapy or perfume rules, but they must contain less than 20% essential oil. I can help you determine the best use of this or that blend once you have emailed me your list. If you only have singles, you can find out how to use them in our library section. You can also e-mail me, I love to help newbies. Be aware that I might tell you that your oil is good for cleaning, but it will not do much for your drain.
Oils that are more than a decade old may still be useful. If an oil is stale and has a lot of years, it can be a sign that it has been cut. This means that the essential oil they used to cut has gone rancid. The essential oils can still be used in therapeutic grade and 100% pure essential oils. They have been found in tombs that are thousands of years old. This does not apply to citrus essential oil. Citrus oils can last for between 2-5 years, depending on how they are stored. So now you have a basic understanding of oils.
Essential Oils
Whether you are using them for their original purpose or dumping them down the toilet, you can now start to look at buying oils that are truly excellent. Let’s now move on to the most common essential oils for beginners. Below, I will try to narrow down the list to essential oils that I would like to learn with. These essential oils are not necessarily the most popular, but they are the easiest to learn and the most forgiving. I would not be caught without Oregano essential oils, but it is a strong oil that must be diluted before it can be used.
Lemon and peppermint are the two essential oils that I recommend to everyone. You can start the Liver Cleanse with these essential oils. 1 drop Lemon essential oil, 1 Drop Peppermint essential oil and 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice are all you need to get rid of toxins in your life. Visit my website for more information. Calm a stomachache and relieve nausea. Rub the stomach clockwise with a few drops of Peppermint essential oils and a small amount of carrier oil.
Headaches
Stop a headache. You’ll need a small amount of carrier oil. Add a few drops of Peppermint oil to the carrier oil. Finally, apply the oil to your temples. Avoid eyes! Inhale through your cupped hand and rub the back of your neck. This will prevent most headaches, and it also clears the sinuses. Did you do too much at the gym, or just around the house? Use Peppermint oil to massage your sore muscles. Are mice invading your pantry? Are ants invading your pantry? Peppermint can be diffused or applied to cotton balls. It’s not advisable to diffuse it for too long, as it can be quite strong. You can clean up ant trails with water with peppermint in it. They won’t come back this way.
Do you feel like you have a sore throat? Make a Peppermint Tea by adding 1 teaspoon honey to 1 drop of peppermint. Then, add 1/2 cup of hot water. It will soothe your sore throat. Be careful not to consume essential oils that are not EOBBD-tested and of therapeutic grade. Are you experiencing a fever? Add 1-2 drops Peppermint to a bowl full of cool water. It will reduce your fever by soaking a towel in it. Did you get sunburned? It should be treated the same as the fever. If your skin is too dry to use the cloth, you can spray the Peppermint water onto it with a spritzer bottle.
Blood Pressure
You may experience an increase in blood pressure if you have high bloodpressure. To bring your blood pressure down, you can either apply Lavender to the pulse points or use Spearmint. Spearmint is effective against rodents but does the same thing. It will not raise blood pressure. To ensure you get a complete disinfectant, add Lemon to any water that you are cleaning with. You have likely been around people who are ill or touched door handles, etc. You could be contaminating the area with germs. Rub a little Lemon essential oil into your hands and then rub it around. You will be protected from any germs you may have been exposed to. To purify water and remove toxins, add a drop of Lemon juice to it.
To protect yourself while on vacation, add a drop of Lemon to your water. Avoid essential oils that are not EOBBD-tested and of therapeutic grade. Lemon can lift your mood. You can diffuse it to make the environment brighter, clean, and fresh. It is great to diffuse in a sick area to prevent others from getting sick and to make the person who is ill feel happier. It’s like letting the sun in. Lemon is good for respiratory issues such as colds and coughs. To combat colds and coughs, make a Peppermint tea. Lemon oil is a citrus oil. This means it has a shorter shelf life than other oils (2-5 year). If you apply it to your skin, make sure you don’t leave it exposed to the sun for more than 48 hours. It can cause skin discoloration. You can cover the skin with clothing and it will be fine. You’re now ready to use your Liver Cleanse.
Lavender Oil
Lavender is another essential oil that I recommend to beginners. It is known as the Universal Essential Oil. It can be used for almost everything. If you are unsure, grab your Lavender oil. Do you have a skin problem? It could be a rash, acne, rash or scar. Use lavender. It can be applied undiluted or on a large area. WARNING: If you don’t get the true lavender, it won’t heal and can cause skin problems. Are you scared? Are you afraid? Are you angry? Are you feeling frustrated? Lavender is known for its ability relax and calm emotions. You will feel instantly calmed if you diffuse it.
