Different Ways to Use Essential Oils
Learn the simple methods for using essential oils so you can choose what fits naturally into your daily wellness routine with ease and confidence.
Aromatic
We call this “aromatic” use of essential oils. This simply means any method that allows you to experience the natural aroma of the oil.
You can use essential oils aromatically by:
Diffusing them in an essential oil diffuser
Applying a drop to your hands and inhaling
Wearing them as a natural personal fragrance
Topical
“Topical” application of essential oils allows the oil to absorb into the skin and be used in daily life.
Some simple ways to use essential oils on your skin include:
Massage
Applying to targeted areas and gently rubbing in
Adding a drop to lotions or moisturizers
Internal
“Internal” use allows essential oils to be used within the body as part of a structured wellness routine.
Always confirm the oil is appropriate for internal use, then use one of these simple methods:
Add a drop to a glass of water
Take in a veggie capsule
Place a drop under the tongue

What are essential oils?
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant compounds found in parts like flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, and bark.
They are extracted from plants to capture their natural essence, allowing you to bring the benefits of nature into your daily wellness routine in a simple, practical way.
Benefits
The benefits of essential oils vary depending on the plant and its natural composition.
Each oil contains unique aromatic compounds that give it its distinct scent and specific properties.
In nature, essential oils help protect plants and support their survival. For you, they offer a natural way to support everyday wellness in your home and daily routine.
How They Work
When you open a bottle of a pure, naturally sourced essential oil, its aroma is immediately noticeable—even from a distance.
What you’re experiencing are the natural aromatic compounds within the oil.
Because of these properties, essential oils are commonly used to support wellness through simple aromatic use and other everyday applications.
Why They Feel Different
Essential oils contain unique natural compounds, which is why each oil has its own distinct aroma and effect.
These differences come from how the plant is grown, harvested, and carefully distilled.
This natural variation is what makes essential oils useful for supporting everyday moments of stress, tension, and emotional overwhelm.
