How to Use Essential Oils

Diffuser

A diffuser disperses essential oils into the air. Essential oils are placed in this device with water and sometimes with heat so they evaporate. This is a great way to add the scent of these aromatic essential oils to a room. For instance, you can add Lavender essential oil to enhance relaxation in a yoga session.

Topically

One of the most popular ways to use essential oils is to use them directly on your skin. Wondering where is the best place to apply essential oils topically? Well, essential oils can be applied to most parts of the body, but certain applications may be more effective than others. For instance, they can be applied to the crown of the head, behind the ears, to the temples, and to the neck. Also, essential oils are great for massage, so they can be used for massaging the feet, the neck and back, arms and legs.

Dry Evaporation

For this method, you can put several drops on a tissue or cotton ball and let them evaporate into the air. For a more intense dose, sniff the cotton ball. For a milder and more constant exposure, simply keep the cotton ball in your immediate vicinity. For instance, you can leave it sitting on your desk next to your computer and reap the benefits of the oil.
