Quick Reference Guide to Essential Oils

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE TO ESSENTIAL OILS

You can use oils in 3 ways: topically, internally (either sublingual or in an empty veggie capsule, and/or aromatically (diffuse). You will know if an oil is safe to use internally if it has a “supplement facts” on the side of the bottle. It is not necessary to dilute all essential oils, but please take precaution when using with children as well as when using cool (peppermint, wintergreen, etc.) or hot (oregano, cinnamon, clove, cassia, etc.) oils. These oils may cause sensitivity or uncomfortable sensations to the skin. If you apply an oil without using a carrier oil, and find that it becomes uncomfortable, simply apply a small amount of coconut oil to the area. If an oil accidentally gets into your eye, rub a few drops of coconut oil around the eye to help relieve the uncomfortable sensation. The bottom of the feet is a great place to apply the oils, if you are unsure of where to apply. The oils travel systemically, so they will travel to the ailed area within 20-30 minutes. Each application of oils is typically 1-2 drops. *Please consult your physician with any concerns regarding medications. Some oils may alter medications. If you are suffering an ailment which is not listed in this handout, please consult the person that introduced you to essential oils and/or a “Modern Essentials” book for more information.
