Essential oils are wonderful, but many people wonder how to use them on a daily basis. Here are our top five (simple) ways to use essential oils every day!
In a diffuser
If you don’t have a diffuser, it’s an idea to look into. It’s a way to enjoy the scent of essential oils in your home all day. The diffusers we have at the store turn off automatically at the end of their cycle, so there’s no worry about turning it off. Essential oils are a great way to scent your home naturally!
In a pot of simmering water
If you don’t have a diffuser, adding a few drops to a small pot of simmering water over the stove can help to disperse the scent of essential oils throughout your home, and it’s also a way to add a bit more moisture to the air, which can be beneficial in the winter months.
In a bath
Essential oils are wonderful in a bath, but it’s important to mix them with a carrier oil or other unscented oil like grapeseed or almond oil before pouring them in the bath so they don’t irritate the skin. A bath with lavender oil before bed is extremely relaxing
In room sprays
Room sprays with essential oils are extremely easy to make, and we have all the necessary ingredients at the store. You can use them as a quick pick-me-up, as a linen spray, or even to freshen up clothing. You can see our room spray recipe on our website here: Room Spray Recipe
In an unscented lotion
An easy way to enjoy essential oils topically is to mix them with an unscented lotion (we love the Everyone unscented lotion at the store since it comes in a pump). Of course, you can make your own lotions from scratch, but mixing a drop or two of your favorite essential oil with a generous dollop of lotion in the palm of your hand before applying is an easy way to enjoy the scents of essential oils. Here is a post from our website on how to mix essential oils into an entire container of lotion: DIY Essential Oil Lotion
