If you’ve been reading my posts, you know that I use the best essential oils for health in nearly all my cleaning supplies, daily skin care, and I incorporate them into my natural health. Essential oils are more than just smelling nice – there are many health benefits of essential oils for your body and your home.
We always try to solve an issue at home or with our health using essential oils before calling the doctor or ordering a product. There are normally oils we have that we can combine with inexpensive ingredients to fix whatever we need to do.
Some of my favorite ways to use essential oils are:
What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are usually made by distillation to make the natural oils in a plant substance very concentrated. It takes an enormous amount of plant material to make just a small amount of essential oils. For this reason, they are very expensive. It only takes a few drops of these essential oils to have a powerful effect. Most essential oils are not used directly on the skin. Most are either inhaled or applied in a carrier oil. Sometimes the oils are put into a bath.
What is Therapeutic Grade?
The potential danger of an essential oil is generally relative to its level or grade of purity. Many essential oils are designed exclusively for their aroma-therapeutic quality; these essential oils generally should not be applied directly to the skin in their undiluted or “neat” form. Some can cause severe irritation, provoke an allergic reaction and, over time, prove hepatotoxic. Non-therapeutic grade essential oils are never recommended for topical or internal use.
