Lately, I’ve become obsessed with essential oils myself. Yes, it’s a very recent obsession and one I know that is going to last. As a religious follower of many infamous and the not so famous yet lovely “natural” “herbal” “organic” blogs out there, I read and read about essential oils. At first I didn’t believe the magic of essential oils, but since I was reading about them everywhere on all the “natural” blogs I followed I decided I would give them a try, and I’m glad I did.
Essential Oils have changed my life, they’ve tackled many of my problems and I know that they work skin deep on me, and unlike any of those cosmetic products which are only effective till the time you are using them, what I personally like to call, “temporary effectiveness” I know that the essential oils I use, are here for my benefit, and the benefit they give me, is in fact durable and long term.
If you don’t know much about essential oils, I have written some very informative articles that will help you as a beginner or an intermediate essential oil user to get some quality information about essential oils. You can read my article on Essential Oils for beginners and if you like that you can even read my another article on mixing and blending essential oils. They are both written with beginners in mind and they are based on my knowledge and things I find really easy to do even when I’m super busy!
So, here’s 5 ways you can start using Essential Oils in your life, and let tem change you for the better, by using these really simple steps in you life, right now:
- Essential Oil + Shampoo Combination: This is one of the most easiest ways out there! Just grab any essential oil that is good for hair growth, getting rid of dandruff, antibacterial etc. Seriously, it can be an essential oil of your choice, all you have to do is add 5-10/10-15 drops of the essential oil of your choice in your shampoo. And you’re done! If you’re wondering what good will come of this, then let me tell you, you can finally be rid of dandruff for good, essential oil will give you proper circulation in head and this promote hair growth. So who said shampooing your hair was all that bad for your hair, again?
-
Essential Oil + Bath Water Duo: This one is just as easy. All you’ve got to do is once again add 10-15 drops in your bath water, using yes again an essential oils of your choice. What this will do for you, you as? Here’s an example, if someone wants to get glowing, soft skin, then using 10-15 drops of Lavender Essential Oil with water will give them that without spending a fortune, it will also keep skin infections in check for you. So this one is also something that will take less than 5 minutes and the benefit you get, will be long term and absolutely worth it.
-
Essential Oil In Water: Another good way to promote hair health and a lustrous mane at the expense of merely 5 minutes a day, is getting a spray bottle. Filling it up with water and adding essential oil of your choice, you can even use my favorite essential oils if you want. Now just spray this solution in your hair like you would with any hair styling product and leave it overnight. You don’t have to rinse it out in the morning, it will definitely give you better hair in just a matter of some months. Similarly, you can use an anti-aging essential oil like Patchouli Essential Oil and put it in water and use it as a refreshing mist throughout the day (you bottle should be a spray bottle though). Or rose essential oil for just making a refreshing and revitalizing mist.
-
Essential Oil In Carrier Oil: You probably know that a way to dilute essential oils is by adding them in a carrier oil, such as almond oil, jojoba oil etc. Now with this blend, where you add an essential oil to a carrier oil you can achieve two things: First would be Great Hair and second would be Great Skin. Or if you’d like both. It’s a known fact that oiling is good for your hair, using the essential oil blend you’re just improving the effectiveness. You can use this as a deep conditioning treatment before shampooing your hair, and just feel the difference after that. Or you can use this same blend, say almond oil and rosemary essential oil and put it as a bath oil on your body before bath daily/once a week, just whatever suits your time and need and get a great skin in just 10 minutes of effort.
All the above mentioned tips actually work, because I’ve tried them on me and they’re really easy to do and don’t require a lot of time, yet they’re really potent with their benefits. So go ahead, and try it out. Let me know your experience if you do. Or If you would like to suggest another way, definitely tell me about it! I’d love to know.
