what are essential oils?

Essential oils are aromatic, volatile compounds which come from leaves, roots, resin, seeds, and other plant parts. They are lipid soluble, and their light molecular weight allows them to readily penetrate the various membranes found in the body to deliver their benefits.

essential oil safety tips Avoid the eyes and ears when applying your essential oils (EOs). If an essential oil (EO) gets in the eye, put a dab of fatty carrier, such as olive, jojoba, almond, or grapeseed oil, around the outside of the eyelid. Do NOT use water. If you have a disease or medical condition, or if you are using prescription medication, it is recommended that you consult with a health advisor who has experience with EOs prior to use. Seek the advice of the prescribing physician and a pharmacist about potential interactions between the medication(s) and the EO(s). Some EOs, especially citrus oils, contain natural molecules that react with sunlight (UV light) and cause a sensitivity reaction. All YL EOs and oil blends that contain these compounds are labeled with a warning to avoid sun/UV light for 12 to 48 hours after applying. Use caution when starting a new oil; use patch testing and dilute and apply the oil to skin that is protected from sun/UV exposure to reduce the risk of sensitivity. Many EOs are appropriate for use with children, and should be properly diluted prior to use. It is generally recommended to avoid the use of Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea), Sage (Salvia officinalis), Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis), Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), and Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), as well as the blends and supplements that contain these oils, during pregnancy.

how to use your oils

topical

The most common way to enjoy the benefits of essential oils is topical application. Because of their molecular structure, essential oils are rapidly absorbed by the skin. When applied topically, it takes just 2-3 minutes for an oil to reach the bloodstream, 20 minutes to affect every cell in the body, then 2 ½ hours to metabolize.

aromatic

Fragrance is the substance of memories. Aroma inhaled causes the olfactory bulb to send messages to the limbic part of the brain, which activates memories and emotions. When inhaling, it takes 22 seconds for an oil to reach the brain. The only way to reach the limbic system is through smell, which is why oils are such a great option for those needing emotional support and support for their nervous system.  Diffusing is another way we inhale oils — it purifies the air, makes your home smell good without chemicals, is great for respiratory support, and lightening moods and attitudes.

Common application areas:

pulse points

soles of feet

back of neck

temples

stomach

behind the ears

Many of Young Living’s essential oils can be applied directly to the skin without dilution, or neat. Refer to individual bottles for application instructions. When necessary, dilute essential oils with Young Living’s V-6 Vegetable Oil complex, olive oil, or other fatty oil.    Young Living’s AromaGlide Roller Fitments (pictured) are especially useful for quick and clean topical application of a neat or diluted oil.

internal

Common methods of internal use include:

diffuser jewelry inhaled directly from the bottle

rub a drop between palms, cup over nose, & inhale drop on a clothespin clipped to air vents (home or car)

The following tips will help you get the most out of your Young Living diffuser:
