Yes this is true and there are so many more uses. We have been using essential oils in our house and office for a long time. I love all the healing benefits they can provide.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Various ways to use Essential Oils” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%232b2b2b” google_fonts=”font_family:ABeeZee%3Aregular%2Citalic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Essential oils can be used in 4 different ways.
- Inhaled
- Diffused
- Topical
- Digested
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Favourite Oils to Diffuse” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%232b2b2b” google_fonts=”font_family:ABeeZee%3Aregular%2Citalic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Citrus notes such as lemon grass, lime, lemon or grapefruit have cleansing and uplifting properties to them. They help to purify the air and also give you a lift in mood and energy.
Lavender has a really calming scent if you are looking to relax. A beautiful combination to diffuse is lavender mixed with peppermint.
Around the holidays there is nothing better than diffusing a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. This will fill your whole home with warmth and lift your spirits.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”422″ onclick=”link_no”][vc_column_text]Tea Tree: Safe to use directly on the skin. We use it all the time to get rid of pimples, to use on athlete’s foot or a fungal infection. If one of the kids gets a cut we will use it to disinfect the cut.
Lavender: Very healing to the skin. Great on mosquito bites, pimples, or skin that needs to calm and heal.
Peppermint: I use this as my tension relieving oil. I use directly on sore muscles or back of my neck and temples when I have a headache. Also great to inhale in the afternoon when you need a pick me up.
Favorite Fall/Winter Bath blend: Lavender and Eucalyptus. Drop 10 drops each into the bath. The lavender will relax you before bed and the eucalyptus is great for clearing the sinuses and breathing deeply.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Top 3 Essential Oils for Edibles” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%232b2b2b” google_fonts=”font_family:ABeeZee%3Aregular%2Citalic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”426″ onclick=”link_no”][vc_column_text]
- Oil of Oregano: This is used all the time in our home at the first sign of a sore throat. 3-5 drops under the tongue to stop or curb a cold.
- Lemon or lime: Amazing to add 2 drops to your water to support a healthy immune system and makes you want to hydrate by drinking more water. Glass bottle preferred.
- Peppermint: A drop or two in your mouth to freshen breathe mid-day.
[/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”Important Note” border_width=”2″][vc_column_text]Use high quality therapeutic grade essential oils. The ingredients should be ethically sourced. Research the company before using. One of my favorite brands is doTerra.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
