Our olfactory sense (smell) is the closest thing linked to the limbic part of the brain, where we store our memories and emotions. This is where the name Aromatherapy originates, but there is so much more to an essential oil than its aroma alone.

Functions of Essential Oils
|
|
With their slight molecular weight, essential oils possess the ability to enter your body's circulatory system through the skin. As they are readily absorbed into the body's tissues, essential oils respond quickly to a symptom, while their aromatics give emotional support. Essentials oils are not “oily” at all; they're the blood of the plant. Our high quality oils are penetrating and evaporate quickly. Buy essential oils now.

 Application for Maximum Absorption:
- For digestive upset, apply around or in the belly button
- For respiratory congestion, apply behind ears or on chest
- For detoxification, apply to liver/spleen or stomach
- For circulatory, add oils to salt scrub and body oil
- For wounds, add oils to salve base or mister bottles
*** IMPORTANT ***
- Do Not use in pregnancy, unless consulting an expert - Oils should not to be used straight on skin - (ex;Basil, Ginger,
Cinnamon,Clove,Thyme,etc.)
 Tips for Beneficial Use:
- Many essential oils are so potent that they could cause skin irritation if used undiluted on the skin. Start with one drop at a time, always checking if it needs to be diluted. If you are unsure, use carrier oils to dilute the essential oils to ensure safe results. There are many kinds of carrier oils, each with its own list of properties, fatty acid content, weight, nourishing qualities, astringency, etc..
- When applying, stay clear of face, eyes and other sensitive areas.
- Dedicate a dropper for each oil; do not mix oils without deliberation. Do not leave droppers in the bottles as the oil will disintegrate the rubber and the rubber will contaminate the oil.
- When using orifice reducers (the dropper built into the bottle), you're going to get more than one drop at a time.
- A good smudge is a bit less than a drop and works well for children and pregnant women. Frequently, if you're using high quality essential oils, a smudge is all you need to start.
