ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN USE ESSENTIAL OILS


  Directly where the need is. In the essential oil world, we call this applying the oil ‘neat’. For example, if
  you have pulled a muscle, you would apply the essential oil right on location of the pulled muscle.
 
  Typically we suggest putting a few drops of an oil such as Peppermint oil, on a cotton ball or tissue, and
  inhale for a time, as needed.

  DIFFUSION  
  Any of the TRUessence essential oils - with the exception of Oregano - can be diffused with the
  TRUessence UltraSonic Cold-Air Diffuser, which emits a wonderful essential oil-infused humidifying mist.
  Lavender is ideal for baby’s room to calm and soothe with a healing aroma. TRUessence Lemon,
  Orange or Grapefruit are great to use for a fresh, just-cleaned smell!

  MASSAGE / BODY RUB
  Selecting a particular essential oil, mixing 10-20 drops with an ounce of a high quality carrier oil, such as 
  Grapeseed or Jojoba Message Oil, and using it for a massage or body rub, is heavenly!
 
  Apply several drops of oil on desired location. Cover the area with a hot, damp towel, and
  place a second, dry towel over it to help retain the heat. You may even wish to cover or wrap the area
  with a sheet of plastic. If the “heat” or “tingle” of the oil becomes uncomfortable, apply Message Oil on
  location to reduce the intensity. 

  This is a great way to replace chemically laden room freshening sprays. The anti-viral, anti-bacterial 
  benefits, as well as the mood-enhancing fragrance make this a GREAT way to integrate the use of
  essential oils into the household!
 
  BATH
  Combine 10-20 drops of essential oil or oil blend with one cup of TRUessence Dead Sea Salts, then 
  dissolve them into warm bathwater. The unique therapeutic properties of the oil ad salts create a synergy
  which will supercharge an ordinary bath into a wonderfully soothing and restorative experience.

  PERSONAL CARE
  Add several drops of selected essential oil to pure organic lotions, nourishing organic body oils, organic
  shampoos and organic conditioners, etc.
 
  There are times when we will use 2 - 3 drops of an essential oil in a veggie capsule, and take it internally
  for a specific need.
 
  Add essential oils to your food (usually after it's cooked), or as a great flavoring in dressings, sauces, 
  frostings, and much more!


  FOOT APPLICATION

  Each morning after showering, apply your chosen oil for the day to the soles of your feet; 1-2 drops will
  work wonders!

  PERFUME / COLOGNE
 
Essential oils are a much healthier - and definitely superior - alternative to synthetic fragrances and
  deodorants. Apply pure, therapeutic oils to pulse points, or create a misting spray.

  HOUSEHOLD CLEANER 
  Essential oils mixed with Vinegar and/or water can create a powerful cleaning solution.

  Most essential oils create an environment that is unfriendly to germs and bacteria.
