Daily Uses
We have at least 15 essential oils in our home and use them in a variety of ways. First and foremost, our diffuser is always going. I have found that it purifies the air as well as helps my kids have a restful night’s sleep.
My oldest daughter uses a blend for her tension headaches which includes wintergreen, frankincense and Roman chamomile as well as a calming blend that has clary sage, ylang ylang and chamomile. I use this blend as well for PMS symptoms as well as melaleuca oil for occasional breakouts. I also add frankincense to my daily moisturizer for its anti-aging properties.
My 10 year old daughter is allergic to dander, pollen, grass, dust and anything else that blows in the air. We have found that the combination of lemon, lavender and peppermint oils used topically (on the soles of feet), taken internally and diffused seem to have her itchy eyes and scratchy throat under control without any drowsiness or other side effects.
My little guy loves the diffuser going at night and has lavender and wintergreen going to calm and relax him. We also use the lemon, lavender and peppermint (diluted with a carrier oil) on his feet in the evening.
We diffuse wild orange and peppermint every morning as a pick me up before school. My children no longer go to the medicine cabinet for certain symptoms, as they have learned to use the essential oils to aid them with their daily wellness.
There are so many benefits of using essential oils on a regular basis. Essential oils can help you relax or sleep better, aid with digestion or help with skin issues. It is important to check with a doctor before using any supplements and to make sure that you are using pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.
