STARTER KIT EXPLAINED
EXTRAS
Getting started. Here are some links of things I buy off of amazon to utilize your oils: Roller Balls, I use these to make Stress Away Rollers, Allergy Rollers, Immunity Rollers and so on. Spray Bottles, I use these to make Thieves Cleaner and Mermaid Hair. Mini Spray Bottles, I use these Mini's for Linen spray. Foaming Bottle, these are perfect for making hand sanitizer or face wash. Finally Glass Droppers I use these for a Face Serum or Hair Serum.
Carrier oils are used lots when diluting essential oils. Fractionated Coconut Oil is what I use but some other common oils to use would be Grape Seed oil or Almond Oil. To make face wash or soaps I use Dr. Bronner's Castile Liquid Soap.
TERMS TO KNOW
A few terms you’ll see pop up a lot when researching Young Living essential oils include:
VITALITY - This simply means they are intended for consumption. Think, capsule, cooking, or added directly to tea/water.
DILUTE - You can dilute an oil by combing it with a carrier oil (such as coconut oil, olive oil, or grapeseed oil), which helps slow down the absorption of the oil.
TOPICAL - Meaning, the oil being applied to the skin. Some oils may need to be diluted before using them topically.
AROMATIC - This refers to inhaling an essential oil. Typically, you would rub the oil on the palm of the hands and then cup them to the nose and mouth.
DIFFUSER - The machine used to disperse essential oils into the air.
IMPORTANT
It's important to note that not all oils are safe to use in certain circumstances. A few instance to be careful while oiling.
INDOOR ANIMALS - When you have indoor animals, please let me know if you have any and I can instruct you how to safely use oils with indoor pets!
BABIES - Essential oils are very concentrated and strong, please make sure that you are mixing oils for the correct age group when using oils on your young children. Per 10ml Roller Balls please use the following dilutions with a Carrier Oil of your choice. 0 to 6 months 1 drop +carrier oil per 10 ml bottle. 6 to 24 months 2 drops +carrier oil per 10 ml bottle. 2 to 6 years 3-6 drops +carrier oil per 10 ml bottle. 6 to 15 years 5-9 drops +carrier oil per 10 ml bottle. 15 and up years 8-15 drops +carrier oil per 10 ml bottle.
PREGNANCY - Avoid using the following oils when pregnant; Nutmeg, Rosemary, Rose, Basile, Jasmine, Juniper, Angelica, Thyme, Citronella, Cinnamon, Camphor, Fennel, Cedarwood and Wintergreen. I am not a doctor nor medical professional, please consult a doctor when considering using oils while pregnant.
