What is the best way to use essential oils for patients?

Research has shown that essential oils enhance and support the immune support whether inhaled or topically applied. Essential oils have the ability to penetrate and carry nutrients through the cell wall to the nucleus and improve the health of the cell. Oils also increase ozone and negative ions, which inhibit bacterial growth.

How do I get the benefits out of essential oils?

Begin with one oil at a time and see if you notice a change fairly soon. The safest place to apply oils at the beginning is on the bottom of the feet. You will also want to inhale the oil, as this is the way the body absorbs the fastest. You only need to use two or three drops of the oil. Shake two to three drops into the palm of your hand and apply. You can use a gentle oil like Lavender as a deodorant or in your bath. You can use essential oils in place of a synthetic perfume. Because essential oils work naturally with your body, they are not a quick fix. Please allow three months for the oils to really have an impact.

What should I avoid when using essential oils?

Keep oils away from light and heat, although they seem to do fine in temperatures up to 90F. If you do have a reaction to an oil, it is because it is pulling toxins, metals, or chemicals from your system. After my second surgery, I was applying oils very generously to rashes on my skin. They got worse because my body could not detoxify that fast. Either stop applying the oils for a short time or dilute with a pure, organic vegetable oil.

Do not use oils if you are pregnant without your doctor's approval. Avoid sunbathing after applying oils, as they could react to the sun. Keep bottle lids securely fastened, and out of the reach of children. Keep oil out of eyes, ears, and away from mucous membranes. If you get oil in your eyes, soothe with a drop of vegetable oil. Water will not work.
