How to use Essential Oils?

My first impression on essential oils is that the aroma when it is diffused, it does not attract me much, because I am sensitive to smell. Normally I will walk away from stalls or shop selling this.

So, essential oils can be used aromatically through a diffuser. 

I am using dewdrop diffuser which function as a humidifier, atomizer, and aroma diffuser. It is easy to use, just add 5-8 drops of essential oil in the water, and press the power button to turn it on.

Alternately, if you do not have a diffuser, just take a drop of the essential oil and rub it in your palms, then cup your hands around your nose and mouth and inhale slowly.

I also put it on cotton wool ball and keep inside wardrobe and drawers.

But after I get to know more about essential oils, only I realize that essential oils can be used topically too.

Yes, I dilute the essential oils in dropper bottles / roller bottles and apply it on my face. Just like applying face serum, you may refer to my DIY face serum post.

Besides, I also get my kids to rub eo on the bottoms of their little feet.

In fact, essential oil can be used internally too.

Young Living’s Vitality™  are safe for ingestion. However, I have yet to try it so not much to share here.
