ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN USE ESSENTIAL OILS

ON LOCATION   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.

INHALATION   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!

COMPRESS   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.

ROOM FRESHENER   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.

INTERNALLY   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.

 

FOOD PREP   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.

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