Any time you hold a bottle of our powerful essential oils, you are holding the pure essence of health-promoting botanicals that can be diffused, inhaled, applied topically, incorporated into massage, or taken internally to:
- Inspire a positive emotional state
- Enhance your physical wellness
- Purify your home
- Refine your skin
- Create deep spiritual awareness
Topically
Many essential oils are safe to use directly on the skin. Depending on your desired effect, areas that are popular include ear lobes, temples, the bottoms of your feet, abdomen, and the back. Some oils do require dilution with a carrier oil (such as coconut or vegetable oil) before rubbing them on the skin while some can be added “neat” or undiluted. In the Premium Starter Kit there is also a roller fitment that can be added to the bottle to allow for easier application.
Cool Facts: It only takes 2-3 minutes for an oil to reach the blood stream, 20 minutes to affect every cell in the body, and 2 1/2 hours to fully metabolize.
First Time Use: Essential oils are very potent and some may be irritating to the skin (especially to children and sensitive skin). If irritation does occur apply a carrier oil to the area to dilute. Please read label directions for each individual oil before using. And we always recommend testing each oil out (take a drop of an oil, mix with a couple drops of carrier oil and apply to small area of skin).
Aromatically
Inhaling essential oils is one of the fastest ways to experience their benefits. Essential oils can be inhaled from the bottle or diffused in the air with a diffuser. They can also be dropped on a cotton ball or wet cloth and inhaled. Drop some in your hand, rub them together and cup your hands over your nose and inhale.
Internally
Because Young Living essential oils are therapeutic grade, many of them can be used internally or orally as a dietary supplement. ALWAYS read the bottle to see if a specific oil is safe for internal use. NEVER use a lesser-quality brand of oil internally (the bottle of another brand usually says “Not for internal use!”)
