Let’s be real for a moment, there are three essential oil mistakes to avoid. Let us talk about what they are and how we can correct it. We have all been beginners at something which means that we have made some mistakes along that way. I want to save you from mistakes you are currently making right this minute using essential oils.
#1 – No Carrier Oil
I have to say I am bad for being one of these people who just doesn’t use a carrier oil with my essential oil. Bad, I know. I learned a lot about why you should from a fellow essential oil enthusiast. Reason being the oil is strong and the carrier oil dilutes it. Having just the oil is too strong for your body and, therefore, overwhelms it. For essential oils, you don’t get a skin sensitivity reaction right away but over time.
#2 – All day Defusing
I love diffusing when I study or when I am not feeling well. It is so soothing n relaxing. I even diffuse for my son who has asthma. However just like not diluting, too much is not good for your body. Having you in an enclosed space with a diffuser on 24/7 is not good. Make sure to turn it off every 30 to 60 minutes.
#3 – Essential Oils Aren’t Harmful
It is easy to say that because essential oils are natural doesn’t mean it is not harmful. It is! Don’t let the word natural simply put your guard down. You still need to use precaution when using them just like anything else. Since essential oils are concentrated you need to make sure you are careful when using it. That means taking the extra time to dilute it and keeping a time max when defusing.
#4 – Any Essential Oil Is Fine
When people say that, it blows my mind because people spend so much on purses and things but when it comes to health they find the cheap one without a blink. Cheap doesn’t mean better in this case. Affordable but with the quality is best.
For me, I researched the company before I started using. I wanted to be sold on why Young Living was best for me because giving my well-earned money to them. I personally love that they research the soil before planting and the extra effort before it gets to me. So before you buy any, research the company. There have been cases where many cheaper ones are 12 drops of an oil and the rest of the bottle is a carrier oil. Make sure you know what you are getting.
