How I’m using Essential Oils – Learning Where to Start!

Essential Oils isn’t something new..but it is something super popular right now and spreading!
I grew up with my mom using tea tree oil in our house! Right now the oils are everywhere you go! This time last year I was a total skeptic and wasn’t interested at all. But over this year more and more of my friends started using Young Living Essential Oils and raving about it’s effects on their families health and even financial impacts it’s made on their family. One friend in particular, (Nicole from The Pretty Oil) really helped me see the practical every day uses
and how much Oils have changed her life and what they could do for our family!
My husband was a total skeptic too..one day of having the oils in our house
and he was hooked!! He was blending and diffusing even more than I was!
Sore legs at night? oils for that…Pumping up immune system?…oils for that.
Helping kids relax at bed time?…oils for that! Helping your pregnant nauseous
wife not throw up?..oils for that! (thank goodness lol.)

I’ve waited till now to share more about essential oils because I wanted to
really dive into them and learn more. But it now only seems fitting to share it on my space here! Using oils is everywhere. If you are on social media,
no doubt you are always seeing the little colorful bottles popping up on your feed!

One thing I’ve found with oils is that a lot of people want to try them but feel overwhelmed and totally clueless when it comes to them. How do you use them?? Which ones do you use the most?? Should you be just a member or sell them too?
I hope in this post to help give you some answers and direction and
share where I’m at with using essential oils!
(I am not an expert…I seek the advice of girls way smarter than me in this area…
but I’m happy to share my experience and what I’ve learned.

How do you use the oils??
Two key words… Dilute.. or Diffuse.
The young living essential oils are very strong and pure.
It takes 3,000 lemons to produce one kilo of lemon oil!
Some oils you can put directly on your skin but in
my experience I almost always dilute or diffuse them.
Our favorite essential oils to use are lemon, lavender, thieves, purification,
joy, peppermint and the citrus blend. We have ended up using them daily in some way.

Dilute the oils?! In what and how???
This is an area where I’ve see so many posts of people sharing oils and saying
they diluted them but never explained how or with what!
You need to use a carrier oil to dilute the oils. Popular ones are Coconut Oil, V6 or Grapeseed Oil. We use Grapeseed Oil from amazon.
I like how it isn’t really scented and isn’t too greasy feeling!
The bottles usually specify directions on how much of each to use when diluting.
I’m going to be ordering some roller ball containers so that I can blend our oils and have them on hand.. but we have been using little bowls to dilute and blend the oils in and then use a q tip to put the oils on ben, my or the kids feet..or behind our ears.

How do you Diffuse the oils?
I use the diffuser that came in my Premium Starter Kit.
(That kit is the best bang for your buck if you want to try a lot of the oils)
It’s like a humidifier… You open the top and fill with water to the line..and drop in the oils you want. We regularly use lemon or citrus. We also sometimes diffuse peppermint and citrus in there and the whole house smells incredible and it really helps keep me focused and going! (Peppermint is very strong and not recommended to use directly on kids or when you are nursing…but if you dilute it or diffuse it and use for certain periods of time it is safe and great to use. I did a lot of research on this one.) I have a lot of friends who swear by thieves diffusing in their kids’ rooms to help with stopping a bug or stopping it from spreading through the family. I usually put thieves on our feet at night to help.
I couldn’t handle the smell at first with my morning sickness…
but I’m starting to like it now so I’m gonna probably end up diffusing it too once
I’m through the morning sickness part of this pregnancy!
I love using the purification oil too…when you have odors in
the home and want to clean it up! Life saver when you are
a super smelling pregnant lady and everything smells bad to you. haha.

Where do you learn more about oils?
