I love to use essential oils for a whole variety of illnesses physical and mental wellbeing, my whole family tends to go to oils before the GP today preferring to try a natural approach first. I am
constantly amazed by their benefits.
If you would like to try Essential oils for home remedies, seek professional advice and purchase a high class brand. Always do your research as there are contraindications with some oils.
The oils can be used in a number of ways
- Topically-applied to the skin, use in a bath
- Aromatic-use in a diffuser, place on fresh laundry-pillow or handkerchief, rub into palms cup hands and
sniff, or smell directly from the bottle
- Internally-used in cooking, place in drink or a vege capsule to swallow
Always check how each oil should be used for using and dilute is necessary with a carrier oil for children.
I have added a few conditions which may benefit you from using essential oils, where there is a blend I have added the generic name so if you wish to try another brand of oil you will know what to
