DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE
ESSENTIAL OILS
How do you use essential oils effectively? Rest assured that you don’t have to be an expert to enjoy the wide array of benefits that essential oils have to offer. All you need is a basic understanding of how to apply essential oils safely and simply as part of your daily routine.
AROMATIC
We call this “aromatic” use of essential oils. This includes any application method that helps you experience the aroma of the oil. You can use essential oils aromatically by:
Diffusing in an essential oil diffuser
Applying a drop to your hands and inhaling
Wearing as a personal fragrance
INTERNAL
Or “internal” use of essential oils allows the oil to be transported throughout your body. Make sure the essential oil is safe for internal use first, and then try one of these methods:
Add to a glass of water
Take in a veggie capsule
Put a drop under your tongue
TOPICAL
"Topical” application of essential oils allows the oil to absorb into the skin. Some ways to use essential oils on your skin are:
Massage
Apply to targeted areas and rub in
Add to lotions or moisturizers
What are essential oils?
What are essential oils? Inside many plants—hidden in roots, seeds, flowers, fruit, or bark—are concentrated, highly potent chemical compounds. These naturally occurring compounds are essential oils. They are the essence of a plant, a gift from the earth, distilled and prepared for you to bring the power of nature into your home.
Benefits
Essential oil benefits vary from plant to plant, within botanical families, and even from species to species. The delicate ratio of aromatic constituents found in any given essential oil are what make its aroma unique and give it specific benefits. Essential oils give a plant its scent, protect it from hazardous environmental conditions, and can even assist it with pollination. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and their beautiful fragrance, essential oils offer a myriad of uses and benefits for your home and family.
How They Work
When you open a bottle of naturally sourced, nonsynthetic essential oil, your senses are instantly filled with its potent aroma, even from a distance. What your nose detects are the naturally occurring elements of the essential oil. Such unique properties make essential oils ideal for inclusion in aromatherapy—promoting wellness by using aromatic compounds—and in other applications.
What makes them effective?
Some essential oil aromas are soothing or grounding, while others are energizing, warming, and invigorating—while all essential oils have unique differences, all doTERRA essential oils are naturally sourced. The huge variety of available essential oils allows you to effectively maintain wellness in a naturally sourced way and address your specific wants and needs. With essential oils, there is no settling for a generic solution.
