You did it! You got the oils! Now what?
First off, congratulations! I am excited that you took this step in your wellness journey! If you would like some support, head over to my Facebook group Our Wellness Journey for support in your physical, emotional, and financial wellness! Moving on to Essential Oil Basics!Aren't those little brown bottles beautiful! I love them, even more I love what they represent- a way to become empowered in your wellness! In a world where things are expensive, complicated, busy, and noisy, it is nice to have a simple alternative that also saves you money! "Saves me money? How?" You ask. "Those little brown bottles were kind of expensive! I think I will save them until we REALLY need them!" "No wait! Don't do that! You need them now!" I cry! "Let me explain how they will save you money before you stash them away for a rainy day!" Its true, essential oils can be pricy (but I do advocate that everyone sets up a wholesale account to maximize savings and get the best deals on essential oils! Send me a request for more information about that by following this link!) Back to save the money though... Step one- open the bottles! (I know they are all neat, and sealed, and lovely, but what is inside is what you really want.) Step two- Breathe Step three- feel better Essential oils are highly concentrated compounds that our bodies and minds can use to promote a lifestyle of wellness on the cellular level. Because essential oils are natural compounds our bodies recognize them and know how to utalize their potential. Different Essential oils help different body systems do what they want to do naturally- be balanced and well. It is just a matter of picking the right oil or blend for what you want to assist. Many people are finding that they are able to deal with many of life's little emergencies without taking off work to make an expensive trip to the Dr, saving them the precious commodities of money and time! (As our national healthcare system sees more and more patients with fewer and fewer doctors this will save you EVEN MORE time & money!) In the same way our bodies know how to respond to these oils, so do does out emotional wellness. Our limbic system is directly effected by the aromatic properties of these wonderful gifts of the earth. Three ways to use essential oils:

Topical useage
This is a powerful way to use essential oils! One drop of essential oil is enough to aid every cell in your body! So remember, less is more! Your 15ml bottles have 250 drops in them, so you have 250 doses(!!!) of wonderful natural wellness at your fingertips! Use it well!
You may want to dilute your essential oils in case of skin sensitivity. This also helps you cover a larger area with a smaller amount of essential oils. Virgin or fractionated coconut oil are two of my favorite carriers!
Mixing and creating your own pre-diluted rollerballs makes for easy application, especially for children!

Internal useage
If you do choose to take oils internally, make sure you are using very high quality essential oils! Click here to get more information about my favorite oils. Not all oils are grown, distilled, and bottled equally! Make sure that there is an FDA supplement fact panel (just like on the side of any other packaged supplement you purchase) on the bottle. This ensures that the company responsible for the oils intended for you to consume it in small doses and made sure that it was grown, harvested, distilled and bottled in a way that did not add anything harmful to the oil.
Remember how powerful I mentioned oils are in the topical section? Remember that here too!! One drop is PLENTY!
Using oils internally is a wonderful way to support your digestive system, oral and throat health.
You can add a drop to a glass of water (no plastics! Many essential oils are petrochemicals, meaning they break down plastic)
Place a drop the tongue or put in an empty gel cap.
Just remember less is more and to be cautious of what oils you decide to use internally as not all essential oils are intended for internal use.
Here are some great resources to help you decide for yourself what oils to include in your internal oil regime.
