How To Use Essential Oils

Aromatic Use

Aromatic use of essential oils includes any application method that helps you experience the aroma of the oil. This is the easiest way to utilize oils in your home. Our sense of smell is a very powerful tool. It's through our smell receptors that there's a direct connection to the limbic system.

The limbic system controls many things including emotions, behavior, and memory. This powerful connection means essential oils can have a profound effect on our bodies when used aromatically to stimulate the limbic system.


You can use essential oils aromatically by:

✓ Diffusing in an essential oil diffuser

✓ Applying a drop to your hands and inhaling

✓ Wearing as a personal fragrance

Many oils have uplifting effects on your emotions and others provide calming and grounding effects. In addition, many oils can help promote a restful sleep when used aromatically during the night and others can help get rid of unwanted odors and germs in the air.

Topical Use

Topical application of essential oils allows the oil to absorb into the skin. You can use essential oils on your skin by:

✓ Incorporating them into a massage

✓ Applying to targeted areas

✓ Adding to lotions or moisturizers

Internal Use

If you’ve never used essential oils internally before, it might seem strange to consume something so powerful and potent. However, pure essential oils are derived from abundant plants in nature, offering a wide spectrum of benefits when used internally.

Because our bodies are designed to metabolize and process compounds found in nature, we are already equipped to metabolize essential oils. Essential oils are merely high concentrations of natural compounds—the parts that give plants their taste and smell.

Internal use of certain essential oils can be beneficial to the body and add unique flavor profiles to dishes and beverages. While some essential oils are never appropriate for internal consumption, plenty of oils can be safely taken internally and processed by the body.

First, make sure the essential oil is safe for internal use, and then try taking essential oils internally by using one of these methods:

✓ Add to a glass of water, milk, or juice

✓ Add to a favorite tea or smoothie

✓ Include in recipes

✓ Take in a veggie capsule

✓ Put a drop under your tongue
