how to use essential oils

Getting Started with Essential Oils

If you’re not sure how to get started using essential oils and natural products, you’re in the right place!

Each Young Living essential oil bottle has dilution recommendations printed right on the label. Some oils that are very gentle like Lavender and Copaiba don’t require dilution except for the most sensitive skin. Most oils will be diluted in equal parts with a carrier like V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex, but some are ‘hot’ oils and can cause a tingling sensation if applied without a carrier. These include Thieves, Peppermint, and Oregano among others, and are usually diluted more. Of course, you can always dilute more or less depending on your personal preference! 

Energy & Focus: Crown of your head, back of your neck, chest or forearms

Respiratory Support: Behind your ears, down the spine, chest, neck and throat

Immune Support: Down the spine, bottoms of the feet, Vitality oils internally

Restful Sleep: Big toe, forearms, forehead, wrists

Focus: Temples, wrists, brain stem, crown of the head

Head Tension: Temples, back of your neck, around your ears

Emotional Support: Rub oils in hands & breathe in deeply, over the heart, behind the ears

OverwhelmLower back, back of the neck, shoulders/neck

Digestion: 1-2 drops in belly button, rob clockwise on stomach 

A couple quick tips…

* Add an AromaGlide Roller Fitment to your favorite, most-used oils to make them convenient roll-ons! 

 * If you have an oil you like to dilute, wait until it’s ⅓ or ½ empty then add a carrier and a Roller Fitment!

* Make your own roller blends using your favorite oils, carrier and empty 10mL roller bottles. This way you can easily take them with you wherever you go. 

* Keep pre-diluted blends on hand for all ages in your household. 

* Pair topical use of your oils with diffusing and internal use, especially for acute needs.

Meet Tracie

 
Hi friend!  
 
My name is Tracie and I am so glad you are here.  

One of the greatest desires in my life is to help people discover ways to naturally support their beautiful God given ability to heal, mend, repair and be in balance.

Our bodies communicate with us with whispers; subtle signals like minor aches and pains, hormone imbalances, anxiety, fatigue, headaches, restless sleep, tummy troubles… But ignoring these whispers or masking them with over-the-counter medications does not solve the root problem. It’s like putting duct tape over the check engine light in our car. We might not see the light anymore, but the issue is still there! If we don’t pay attention to these subtle signals, they will get louder and louder until our body forces us to take notice!

Listening to our body's whispers and beginning to ask WHY will put us on the path of discovering what works for US! There are so many beautiful alternatives that support our body's ability to heal and be in balance. 
 
As a passionate advocate for all things natural, including the power of essential oils, I offer support and guidance to those seeking a more holistic approach to health and wellness. Whether you're a momma, a grammie, or anyone in between, this is the place to find practical solutions and inspiration.
 
Feel free to shoot a message if you'd like to chat! 

Together we will embrace the natural goodness that surrounds us and create positive change and become Better Each Day!
