Love this!!! Helpful info. for beginners using essential oils! 15 Things to Know When You First Begin Using Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils… 1. YL oils labeled as “supplements” are able to be used internally Peppermint is probably the most useful oil on the planet. Always make sure you have enough. 2. If you ever need to dilute an essential oil because of sensitive skin, and you don’t have a carrier oil available, do not use water; use anything that contains ‘fat’… such as full fat yogurt, butter, full fat milk or cream. It’s the ‘fat’ that dilutes your essential oils. 3. If Frankincense was precious to Jesus, it should be precious to us too! 4. Essential oils that ‘may’ require a carrier oil for topical use: PanAway, Peppermint, Basil, any of the Eucalyptus, any of the citrus (Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Bergamot*), Myrrh, Myrtle, and Melissa. Though most of those oils I use neat (undiluted). 5. Essential oils that should (almost) always be diluted with acarrier oil for topical use: Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Wintergreen, Oregano, Thyme, Lemongrass, Black Pepper, Patchouli, Mountain Savory, Nutmeg, Marjoram, Balsam Fir, Coriander, Cypress, Galbanum, Pine, Ravensara, Ocotea. Again, I said “almost.” 6. “Neat” means undiluted 7. Diffusing essential oils (with a cold-air diffuser) alleviates stress, cleanses the air, and creates a pleasant atmosphere in the home. 8. The Essential Rewards program is THE most cost effective way to earn points for free oils and build your medicine cabinet. 9. Good “carrier oils” are: sweet almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil, or jojoba oil. 10. Peace and Calming blend is the very best oil blend for little ones (and big ones who need a good night sleep!) 11. How to afford essential oils – (Balance your budget by transfer buying, give the gift of health, earn free products & get discount shipping, make your own Personal Care Products and Household cleaners, Refer a Friend – message me to learn more) 12. Mixing essential oils with sea salt or Epsom Salt prior to adding them to your bath water allows the essential oil to stay evenly dispersed in the water (instead of floating on top). 13. There are approximately 250 drops in a 15 ml bottle of essential oil 14. Never get Essential Oils directly in your eyes. If you do, use olive oil on the bone around the eye to dissipate the oil. Flushing the eye with water will just spread the oil and not bring relief. 15. Hide the peppermint oil from your husband or he’ll use it all!
