I just entered the world of essential oils, and oh my! The love, the excitement, otherwise known as my newest full on purely platonic obsession ;) -Essential Oils!!
Obviously, as I personally believe everyone else does, people dive into the world of essential oils simply because they have an unbeatable aroma that no single household plug in can compare to. But they are so so so much more than a simple air freshener!! You are insulting the abilities of your oils if you restrict them to simple air freshening duties! They deserve the respect to use them to their full potential!
So STOP insulting your oils, let them do what they are packaged up and ready to do, dive into the health benefits of these little babies!!
Diffusion
Yes, of course the main way essential oils are used are in diffusers. This is a multi purpose way to showcase the benefits of these oils. Diffusion allows for inhalation as well as putting healthy aerosols throughout your home. Many beautiful diffuser options are available, I of course have the doTERRA pedal
diffuser, but when you have to have one for every room, you begin to have to branch out. Many options are easily accessible on amazon, eBay, or at your local health food stores and retailers like London drugs etc. Endless diffuser blends are available on Pinterest, check out my page. My absolute favorite diffuser blend is a combo of Breathe, a little more peppermint (a love of mine) and a citrus of your preference, so clean, purifying and uplifting.
CLEANING
Here is where these babies excel!! Antibacterial oils, antimicrobial oils, so many purification abilities of these precious little bottles of bliss!
There is a recipe for literally every cleaning need you have!
So here is my go to bathroom recipe (Since we live in such a damp area and suffer with the mold and mildew)
In a glass bottle add 1 cup distilled white vinegar, 2 cups water, 3 drops Lemon, 3 drops Melaleuca, 1 drop clove oils. Shake well. Spray down surfaces and walk away for 30mins. I usually come back later sometime, spray down again and wipe away the grossness. Fresh and clean smelling and no toxic additives that I am worried to have around my family and pets.
HEALTH
Now here is where your peace of mind in cleaning and your delectable scents in your home really take a step back for the true powers of these beautiful little droplets. I have attached a thorough list of doTERRA approved uses for their products. (approved uses)
Now having said "health claims", this is the most debated topic in health and wellness around right now. They do, They Don't, Cant Claim they do, and argue argue argue. My problem with the anti-oils agenda is their claims that people experience a "placebo effect" so 1-they cant prove that its only placebo that has made the patient feel better AND 2-if it is a placebo effect that made the patient feel better...isn't the only reason to apply the techniques/product/drug or what have you solely "TO MAKE THE PATIENT FEEL BETTER"????....so what they are arguing against is success in patient comfort? For my personal health and wellness I would far prefer to experience this so called placebo effect with the use of a natural product without the long list of side effects that common pharmaceuticals provide to us while in use.
The final way these products can be used is in Pet Health as well. Now I am not going to dive into that topic just yet as I have not used the product myself for these purposes and would prefer not to provide guesses on the success of lack thereof in this area.
Hope you enjoyed my brief entry regarding my intro to these awesome products. Follow me on my Facebook Page and Pinterest. Wild and Oily Ways.
Good night peeps and hope you enjoy this last recipe I borrowed from pinterest
