What are essential oils, and why are they so amazing?

**Not all essential oils are created equal. I use doTERRA essential oils, because I know they are the best quality oils for myself, my home, and my friends and family. All information below is in reference to doTERRA essential oils only. In choosing essential oils, please be sure and research the quality of the product.**

Essential oils are a safe, effective, and affordable way to bring natural solutions into your home. Since they are 100% natural and safe, you can use essential oils without worry of side effects. In fact, most of our essential oils actually have “side benefits”, as they have a wide variety of uses – bonus! Essential oils are extracted from plants, which can make them more effective than synthetic alternatives. Best of all, they are affordable! Due to the high quality of our oils, they are extremely potent and just a drop or two is all you need.

The easiest way to use oils is to diffuse them. Diffusers use water and cool mist to diffuse the oils into the air. Pick one or more of your favorite essential oils, and add a drop or two of each to your diffuser. Diffuse Wild Orange and Peppermint to increase focus during studying or add Lime, Lavender, and Spearmint to your diffuser for a beach-vibe blend. Citrus and mint oils are generally uplifting, while floral and tree oils can be very soothing and relaxing, and spice and herb oils are often warm and inviting.

Did you know the largest organ is the skin? Essential oils can be used topically to pamper ourselves and our skin. One of the easiest ways to apply topically is to mix with fractionated coconut oil or lotion. Oils like Tea Tree and Rose can be used as a spot treatment on blemishes, while your favorite essential oil or blend can be used to create a personal “pure-fume” scent.

Certain essential oils can be taken internally, too. Add citrus oils to your water or smoothie to give it a burst of flavor. Vanilla and cinnamon are great to spice up pancakes.  Oils can be added to empty capsules to support immune function and more. Check your bottle for “Supplement Facts” to know if the oil is safe to ingest.
