Essential oils are the oils that come from certain herbs and plants, after going through a steam distilling process. They have medicinal benefits, and can be used for physical health or even aromatherapy for our mental and emotional health.
Some ways I use my essential oils are in baths, diffusers, or in Kay's Organics' body and hair products. They can also be used to provide a lasting scent to the home in your mop water, candles, or even just in certain areas of the home!
*It is important to dilute essential oils, as some are very potent and can harm the skin. Please do NOT ingest essential oils. Dilution recommended: 1-5 drops to 4oz of carrier oil or water. When using stronger oils, I recommend using less then adding 1 drop more at a time to see how your skin may react. For example, Tea Tree Oil in a bath should be 1-3 drops, starting off with one drop to see how sensitive you are to it.*
