Ingestion
Ingestion is another good option for absorbing your essential oils,
however, you must be sure to do your research first. Certain essential
oils, like oregano and clove, shouldn’t be taken orally like this for more
than a week and should be diluted before ingestion, but oils like lemon
and peppermint are fine to be taken as one to three drops in water.
Homemade Items
It’s becoming fairly trendy to make your own items containing
essential oils to reap their benefits in your own way.
For example, you could make candles or bar soap containing a
combination of essential oils and other good things and reap the
benefits when you use the soap, absorbing the oils in your skin, or
burn the candle and inhale.
You could also make shampoos, toothpastes, household cleaners, body
butters, bug spray, lip balm, and more.
Topically
Essential oils can be absorbed through the skin and enter the
bloodstream for you to reap their many healing benefits. You can
either rub the essential oils yourself on the affected area or, if you’d
prefer, there are many lotions, body washes, and shampoos made with
essential oils in them that you could use as well.
You could also put essential oils in your bath by dropping them on a
sponge and placing the sponge in the bath water with you. Be sure to
only use the essential oils as indicated by the bottle, as overusing
could become a problem.
