Essential Oils
What are essential oils?
Essential oils are the natural, aromatic volatile liquids found in shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. Young Living offers hundreds of single oils, blends, and oil-infused products- each containing the optimal levels of specific, naturally occurring constituents to maximize their benefits. They help support the different systems of the body: muscular, nervous, digestive, as they do not contain chemicals or artificial fragrances.
How to use essential oils?
Always consult individual product labels for usage
Aromatically - Use essential oils aromatically to uplift the spirit. Inhale directly from the bottle or diffuse.
Topically - Many essential oils are safe and beneficial to use directly on the skin when diluted with a carrier oil.
Oily Tips
+ Dilute with a carrier oil. Use of a carrier oil will not dilute the effect of the essential oil but will ensure that the oils applied topically are not irritating or overpowering.
+ Never use water if you experience irritation. If essential oils get in your eyes or cause irritation to skin, flush and dilute the area with a safe carrier oil to alleviate discomfort.
+ Don't apply essential oils to sensitive areas. We recommend that you avoid applying essential oils to sensitive areas such as eyes, ears, and mucous membranes.
Aromatherapy and essential oils are wonderful natural plant therapy remedies when used safely and correctly. Always do you own research including discussing specific questions with a trained professional (aromatherapist, herbalist, or naturopathic doctor).
