Using Essential Oils Aromatically

I would love to chat with you about using essential oils aromatically. You know how sometimes fumes from a car can give you head tension? Well smelling essential oils can help uplift your mood, help that head tension or stuffy nose, or help you relax before bed.

 

• Direct Inhalation
• Indirect Inhalation
• Diffusing

Indirect Aromatic Use:

One great way my daughter uses the respiratory blend aromatically is by putting 1-2 drops on a cotton ball and putting it in a snack size Ziploc bag. She can then carry it around with her and just open the baggie as she needs to. She uses this if she is stuffed up from seasonal and environmental threats.
I love to use 3-4 drops of Lavender in a bath. I will sometimes add a little coconut oil, and oh my, SO RELAXING! I advise you to do this only right before bed because you will be useless afterwards.

Add Eucalyptus to a bowl of steaming hot water. Put a towel over your head and the bowl to make a tent.

Diffusing

I love to diffuse oils in the air. Depending on my purpose ie germ killing or mood uplifting, is what oil combo I will add. There are many diffusers out there. I like this one that I purchased in February. I also won this pro version, that has been great as well. Yes, I need two. I actually could use more because the kids like them in their rooms.

Direct

Holding the bottle right up to your nose and smelling it.
Aromatic use of essential oils is a great way to get started using them if you are skeptical.
I recommend Lavender for rest or our uplifting blend for dreary days.
