Did you know that essential oils have been around since early recorded history to support overall health? It has been recorded that ancient Egyptians used essential oils as medicine.

 Use Essential Oils Aromatically 
​​​​​​​
One of the most common ways to use essential oils is in an oil diffuser. Try adding a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil to a diffuser in place of artificial candles.  
Try to Use Essential Oils Topically 

Some essential oils can be used topically when mixed with a carrier oil such as coconut oil. They make great massage oils or you can make your own homemade lotion with a couple of drops of oil like lavender or peppermint.          
 Make a Relaxing Blend
 
If you’re feeling stressed or have a difficult time falling asleep at night, try adding a couple of drops of lavender essential oil to a plain unscented lotion and use before bed. Lavender is very calming and can help promote sleep.
