Personally, Young Living is the brand of choice and the names will all be related to that Brand. I have used this brand for years and love it. I have no affiliations with the company and I am not paid for this post.
Taking care of your body and using natural products is important for self-care. Doing so can enlighten your experiences and give your body a healthy feel.
Essential oils are a healthy and safe option to help take care of your body. There are so many options and types you can use. They can be directly put onto your skin, diffused, or orally taken.
Like a prescription you have to be careful with them. While essential oils are overall safe some can harm you. Some are hot on application and need olive oil to be applied to avoid burning. Essential oils should be kept away from eyes and genital areas.
Essential oils are not a cure all and professional medical help should be found when needed.
1. Thieves
This oil is my absolutely favorite one. Thieves is a combination of clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary. It has many uses and young living has created many products with thieves.
I have used thieves for sore throats, whenever I feel a cold coming I orally take thieves in a capsule. It helps with toothaches and headaches. It can be used for cleaning and young living has made specific products for cleaning with thieves. There is a thieves mouthwash and floss.
Thieves has been a life saver for me. I use it every day and at night I diffuse it.
2. Peppermint
This oil is a cool and minty one. Peppermint can help energize and create focus. My main use for peppermint is for an upset stomach. I will directly rub it onto my stomach and some olive oil to reduce burning feeling. Or I will take it in a capsule.
This can help you to wake up and focus. It is a basic oil but is great for using.
3. Lavender
This sweet floral oil is one I always keep in stock. It can be used to help you sleep. Drop a few drops on your pillow before you go to bed. It can be used in cooking but don't overdo it with how much you add in it is strong!
A popular use of lavender is for healing burns. I've used it when I burn my tongue, sunburns, and curling iron burns. It helps to heal your skin quickly and I love that it is a natural cure.
This oil is great for ear aches. Put a couple drops on a cotton ball and place the cotton in your ear. Do not directly into your ear.
4. Peace and Calming
For those who get anxiety peace and calming will be your best friend. Rub a drop onto your wrists, toes, or behind your ears. You can also smell it if you don't want to put it on.
This is my favorite scent out of the oils and it always calms me. If you are panicking or overthinking using this can help to soothe you.
5. Deep Relief
For all the aches and pains. As an active person I often get sore or have tired muscles. Deep Relief comes as a roll on and is meant to be directly rolled onto places with pain occurring.
For those that work at computers for long periods of times and get achy necks this feels amazing to roll onto an aching neck. I use this often and it always helps to relieve areas that are hurting.
This oil has a minty scent and when rolled on feels hot at first. Only put small amounts to make sure it does not over irritate your skin.
6. Stress Away
As a busy college student stress is common. This roll on is simple to roll across your wrists and help begin to de-stress. This oil provides a comforting aroma and gives a relaxing experience.
This oil is a sweeter scent and can be worn daily as a perfume if you choose. It will help your entire day to have a relaxed feeling.
7. Lemon
Lemon is an oil of many uses. With a citrus scent it smells like a fruit. This oil is powerful, my first experience with it my mom placed a few drops of it on a Styrofoam cup and we watched as the oil dissolved the entire cup.
It is a powerful cleaner and be used on mold. It can be used for skin care and can be rubbed directly onto acne to help clear it away. If desired it can be used in cooking as well.
I love having lemon on hand as it is one of the essentials of Young Livings essential oils.
Essential Oils are my Favorite
As I said earlier I have been using essential oils for years. I grew up with my mom telling me to rub oil on everything all the time. I grew up with my friends thinking I was strange because I did not take normal medications all the time.
I realized that I was okay with being strange because it was what I thought was best for my body. I felt good and I feel that using essential oils is what's best for my body. I love the idea of using something natural to help my body heal, destress, and mend.
