Use unadulterated essential oils and spend the time to research and
educate yourself. If you read the labels carefully, most
commercial-brand bottles will say “100% pure,” but they will also say
“not for internal consumption or to be used directly on the skin.”
However, Young Living essential oils are therapeutic grade and many of
them are intended for internal use.
Peppermint and Lavender
Because both
peppermint and
lavender
are versatile essential oils, no home should be without them. Lavender
is an adaptogen and, therefore, can assist the body when adapting to
stress. Peppermint is a natural tension reliever.
To help you cool off this summer, simply put a drop of peppermint on
the back of your neck and the bottoms of your feet. If you have
sensitive skin, dilute essential oils in a small amount of carrier oil,
like almond oil or olive oil, and apply. You can also place a drop of
either oil on a cool, moist cloth and hold at the back of your neck.
