Natural Solutions with Essential Oils

Picture
I have used essential oils over the years for many reasons, but have decided this year to dive a little deeper and learn more about the many benefits and uses of essential oils.  I will be experimenting with different dōTERRA brand oils throughout the year for cleaning, cooking and natural health promotion and health remedies.  Simply defined, an essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants.  Essential oils give plants their distinctive smells, protect plants and play a role in plant pollination. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and their beautiful fragrance, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices. 
​
Below are my personal reasons for incorporating more essential oils into our family’s natural medicine cabinet this year.   
  1. My top reason for incorporating more essential oils into my life this year is their versatility.  There are endless ways you can use oils for cleaning, cooking, beauty care and natural health solutions.  I want to incorporate essentials oils in all of these ways.   With essential oils, I plan to make homemade cleaning products, that are non-toxic and safe for my home, family and pets, as natural remedies in my “medicine” cabinet, as well as try them in some new healthy dishes!
  2.  Essential oils have been around for thousands of years for medicinal and health purposes. They are a safe and cost-effective therapy for a number of health issues. Oils are also a safe, natural health solution for kids!
  3. Essential oils have the best aroma! Who wouldn’t feel better after smelling or diffusing an essential oil! I couldn’t take a yoga class without my peppermint oil or sleep without diffusing lavender oil.
  4. Essential oils are made from flower, herb, and tree parts, like seeds, bark, roots, peels, and petals.  How could you get any closer to nature than that? Essential oils are a great addition to our clean eating lifestyle.​
I am excited to incorporate more oils into my family natural medicine cabinet this year and share how these essential oils work for our family.
