In previous posts we talked about the three ways to use essential oils and how to use them aromatically. Today we are going to talk about the 2nd way you can use essential oils – Topically.

Essential oils can be applied to the skin. This is known as topical application. Using Young Living Essential Oils topically is a great way to support your skin because essential oils are easy to use and provide quick benefits. If you have never used essential oils, one great area of the body to apply them topically is to the feet.

Apply essential oils directly onto the skin where indicated. Dilute with V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or a pure vegetable oil (e.g., olive or almond ) before applying if dilution is indicated on the label. Dilution may protect against possible skin sensitivities. Key points of application on the body are:

• Crown of head
• Temples
• Behind ears
• Neck
• Upper back
• Abdomen
• Over vital organs
• Soles and top of feet (Click here to learn about the VitaFlex Technique)
• Ankles

To apply topically on any of these areas, follow these simple steps:

1. Carefully tip the oil bottle and drop 2-3 drops in the palm of the hand or directly on the desired application area.

2. If dropping oil in your hand, rub palms together in a circular motion and then massage oil onto the desired point of application. If applying directly to the desired area, use your hand to massage the oil in a circular motion into the skin. Repeat if desired.

Attention: Essential oils are very potent, and some may be irritating to the skin. If irritation occurs, immediately apply V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or pure vegetable oil to the area to dilute. Please read label directions for each individual oil before using.

You can also create your own massage oil blends by mixing your favorite essential oils with V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or by using Young Living’s pre-mixed massage oil blends (e.g., Relaxation, Ortho Ease) to relax, uplift, soothe, and relieve.

There are three ways to use essential oils. One of our favorite ways is using Young Living Essential Oils aromatically. Many of us have had a time where a smell triggers a memory. Freshly baked bread, pine needles, or spring flowers can easily take you back to positive times in your life. Essential oils are the same!

Let’s all grab a bottle of our favorite Young Living essential oil and use it aromatically. Using it is as easy as one, two, three:

Place a couple of drops in the palm of your hand.
Rub your hands together.
Cup your hands over your nose and mouth and inhale deeply.

Diffusion is another great way to use essential oils aromatically. By creating a fine aromatic mist, diffusers allow you to create a spa-like atmosphere and enjoy the benefits of essential oils in any environment. Young Living offers a wide variety of diffusers, and when you enroll as a new member, you will receive a diffuser in your Premium Starter Kit.

There are many essential oils that we love to use aromatically. Look out for upcoming future posts from us to learn more about the different blends we use aromatically and the different type of diffusers offered by Young Living.

Young Living’s commitment to purity and stewardship is embodied in a unique, proprietary process called Seed to Seal. No other company can match what Young Living does to ensure the purity and potency of the highest quality essential oils on the market.

Young Living’s Seed to Seal process includes five painstaking steps:

Selecting seeds that produce high-quality botanicals is a vital first step in Young Living’s Seed to Seal process. The seeds used are selected for their ability to become botanicals with high levels of bioactive compounds.

Young Living’s farms and carefully monitored partner farms follow stringent agricultural and harvesting standards to grow the highest-quality aromatic plants.

Combining ancient and modern techniques, Young Living’s low-temperature steam distillation process ensures that the beneficial plant compounds in each batch of essential oil remain uncompromised.

To guarantee consistent quality, Young Living’s essential oils are tested to ensure they meet demanding specifications, international standards, and contain the optimal levels of natural bioactive molecules.

Finally, each essential oil is carefully sealed, inspected, bottled and labeled in UV-protective amber glass using state-of-the-art equipment at Young Living’s state-of-the-art clean-room facility.
