to use oils
One of the first things you’ll want to familiarise yourself with is the ways that
How
each of the essential oils can be used. Keep in mind that each oil has specific
uses – all of the oils can be used aromatically and topically; but there are a
select few that can be also be used internally.
Let’s breakdown each use one-at-a-time :
The benefits of essential oils can be felt aromatically in three ways; either by
smelling directly from the bottle, putting a few drops into the palms of your
hands and rubbing together and inhaling, or by combining one or a
combination of oils into an ultra-sonic diffuser. Diffusing doTERRA oils is the
quickest way to receive the therapeutic benefits of an oil as it stimulates our
olfactory system which is the part of the brain connected to smell
Topical use means applying to the skin. When you are first starting out using
doTERRA essential oils, it’s always recommended to patch test oils on your skin
first. If you do you have sensitive skin, using a cotton tip is a good way to test
out the oil on your skin. It is recommended to always use a carrier oil as this
will help to create a barrier and minimise skin sensitivity. It should especially
always be used if using oils on the elderly, on toddlers and young babies
Not all doTERRA essential oils are deemed safe for internal use. It is important
to read the label before ingesting any doTERRA essential oils. There are many
benefits to taking doTERRA essential oils internally, however doing so is
completely a personal choice only if you feel comfortable doing so. To receive
the internal benefits of an oil you can add drops into water, add drops into
Veggie capsules, put drops on your thumb and press onto the roof of your
mouth or place drops directly under your tongue
