DIRECTIONS FOR USE

What is the best essential oil?

It’s important to choose the best essential oil depending on the health concern or condition that you are trying to remedy. Each essential oil is made up of different compounds and possesses unique properties, so while some oils are great for relaxing your mind, easing muscle tension and promoting restful sleep, other oils are stimulating, energy boosting and support cognitive function.  To find out what essential oil is best for you, do some research on your specific health concern.

​

What is a carrier oil?

Carrier oils allow you to use essential oils safely and effectively, but they also come with a ton of their own health benefits.

 

Most carrier oils are loaded with essential fatty acids, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds and skin-healing vitamins. So if you’re still confused about what carrier oil to use as part of your essential oils routine, read through this list of carrier oils and their specific uses and benefits.

​

Carrier oils are used in combination with essential oils in order to dilute them and alter their absorption rate. Essential oils are extremely potent, so you only need a very small amount to take advantage of their many benefits.

​

Carrier oils allow you to cover a larger surface area of your body with essential oils, without needing to use too much. So when you use a carrier oil, you are reducing the chances of causing any adverse skin reactions and following the guidelines of essential oil safety.

​

How do I use essential oils?

There are three types of applications for essential oils: aromatically (using a diffuser or inhaling the aroma directly from the bottle), topically and internally. The best way to start is with aromatic uses, like adding five to 10 drops of a high-quality oil to a diffuser.

​

When using oils topically, it’s best to combine them with a carrier oil, like coconut oil or jojoba oil.

​

DO NOT INGEST. Only some essential oils are safe for ingestion.  You should contact your medical professional before ingesting.  Align 333 Mind, Body, Spirit limits or exclude our or your liability for death or personal injury.

​

What are the best essential oils to start with?

Some people ask for a list of essential oils before they realize how many essential oils exist. The most common essential oils (all of which should be organic) that I believe everyone should have stored in the medicine cabinet include the following:

 

  • Lavender: treats burns, cuts, rashes and stings; reduces anxiety; and promotes restful sleep.

  • Peppermint: improves joint and muscle pain, relieves digestive issues, reduces fevers, clears sinuses, improves asthma and bronchitis, and relieves headaches.

  • Frankincense: reduces inflammation, treats bruising, reduces scars, boosts immunity and promotes emotional well-being.

  • Tea tree: has antibacterial and antifungal properties, can be used to prevent and reduce infections, and cleans the air of pathogens and allergens.

 

How do I know which essential oil to buy?

This is one of the most vital things you must know about essential oils: Not all essential oils are created equal. In fact, most of them are worthless to your health and often synthetic.

 

Therefore, when buying such oils — choose pure ones that are certified USDA organic, 100% pure, and indigenously sourced.

​

Risks and Side Effects

Some people are sensitive to certain oils, so before bringing any new product into your routine, try a patch test (placing a small amount on a small surface area of the body) or inhalation test to be sure that you don’t experience any adverse reactions.

​

Infants, toddlers, young children and pregnant women are all more sensitive to the effects of these potent oils. For these groups, it’s best to stick to gentle options like lavender, bergamot and frankincense.

​

There’s a long list of oils that should not be used by pregnant women, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and ask your health care provider before use.

​

Before using an oil internally, make sure that it’s safe for human consumption. Only some oils are safe for internal use in very small amounts, such as lemon or ginger, but in general, use precaution when ingesting.

​

When using oils in a diffuser, make sure that the room is well-vented and the diffuser is not around a fire or other heat source. It’s also recommended to use a diffuser that has a timer and can be turned off automatically after 20–30 minutes.
