How to use doTERRA essential oils
doTERRA essential oils are the only essential oils that I would ever use aromatically, topically and internally. You can use individual oils one at a time, or combine them to make a blend. There are literally thousands of combinations you can do, that’s the fun part, experimenting and seeing which ones resonate with you.
Most essential oils can be applied topically to the skin. They should however, always be diluted in a carrier oil such as Fractionated Coconut oil first, especially when using on young children and babies, or for people that have sensitive skin. To apply topically, you can either make up a roller bottle or combine your choice of oils in a blending bowl and then add your carrier oil of choice
There’s only a select few essential oils that can be used internally. This is totally a personal choice, Some people do not feel comfortable about ingesting oils and that’s completely fine, Always go with your own intuition, and do what feels right for you. Essential oils such as Lemon, Lime, Wild Orange, Fennel, Slim & Sassy can be added to water, or you could add them to a veggie capsule and swallow. The herb oils such as Basil, Rosemary, Marjoram, Thyme and Oregano are all good to use in cooking to enhance the flavour of dishes
You can receive the aromatic benefits of an essential oil in a number of ways, The easiest way is simply by opening the cap and taking a few deep breaths directly from the bottle. You can also put a couple of drops into your hands, rub them together then cup your hands over your nose and mouth and inhale, or you could combine essential oils into a diffuser and leave it running in your bedroom or lounge room. Diffusing is more than just making a space smell pretty, it can help to cleanse and purify the air, and help to eliminate odours
