How to use Essential Oils

There are three main ways to use Essential Oils:

Direct Application
Because Essential oils are soluble with the lipid membranes of cells, they have an unmatched ability to penetrate and disperse within minutes throughout the body. Apply directly over area of concern, but, avoid getting oils in the eyes, flush with V6 mixing oil if an essential oil accidentally gets in the eyes. The spicy oils such as Cinnamon, Clove, Thyme, Oregano and Peppermint can be warming to sensitive skin. Dilute your Essential oils with V6 mixing oil or a pure Olive oil if skin sensitivity is a concern.

Diffusing or Inhalation
A Diffuser is specially designed to disperse a fine mist of essential oils that will fill a room in a few minutes. It disperses your oils without heating or burning, which can render oils less therapeutically beneficial. Diffusing can help reduce bacteria, fungus and mold, help with weight management, help you to relax and relieve tension, improve concentration and mental clarity and much more!

Internally as Supplements
Only a Therapeutic, Grade A oil, such as Young Living's oils, are safe enough to ingest. By ingesting the oils, optimum benefits can be achieved. Put a drop or two in goats, soy or rice milk, or in empty capsules and take internally. It is indicated on each bottle if the oil can be taken internally as well as by application.
