Therapeutic Uses for Essential Oils

I have talked about the therapeutic benefits of essential oils before, but you can never have too many ways of using them. Here are some more ways that they may help you.

Therapeutic

Put a few drops of lavender essential oil on a cotton ball or cloth near your pillow to help you sleep soundly.

Put a drop of clary sage oil in 5 drops of coconut oil and apply a drop of the blend to your hands or wrist to help balance hormones, alleviate PMS or menopausal symptoms.

Put a drop of lavender oil diluted in 5 drops of coconut oil or other carrier oil on burns to speed healing and ease the pain.

Put a drop of melaleuca (tea tree) essential oil on cuts or wounds as an antiseptic. Dilute a drop in 5 drops of carrier oil if you have sensitive skin.

Put a drop of lavender essential oil on mosquito or other types of bug bites to ease the stinging/itchiness.

Place 10 drops each of lavender, cedarwood and citronella in a bottle with one ounce of carrier oil (like coconut oil). Rub or spray a small amount on your skin before heading outdoors to help keep the bugs at bay.

Diffuse eucalyptus essential oil to reduce coughing, chest or sinus congestion, and improve breathing.

Put a drop of peppermint essential oil on a diffuser bead necklace to energize you throughout the day.
