Essential Oils: How to Use Them

You’ve probably heard of essential oils. They are a hot topic right now, but many people wonder what to do with them. I know the feeling. I bought my first essential oils for DIY cleaning recipes, but when my first bottles arrived, I wasn’t sure what to do with many of them. I decided to start compiling a list of all the ways I’ve used different oils, and it continues to grow as I add more oils to my repertoire. The oils are listed in alphabetical order for your convenience.

Wondering which brand of essential oils to use? Check out this post for some tips on helping you choose a brand you’ll love.
