How to Use Essential Oils This Christmas Season: DO’s
The holidays bring joy, but they can also bring stress, sniffles, and the need for self-care. Essential oils can be a wonderful addition to your Christmas season if used safely and effectively. Here’s how to make the most of them:
- Ingest with Care:
Only ingest essential oils that have supplemental facts on the label, indicating they’re safe for consumption. A drop of food-grade peppermint oil can be a festive addition to hot cocoa or tea! - Dilute Smartly:
Use carrier oils, such as coconut or almond oil, for persistent burning or sensitive skin. They’ll help dilute the oils while keeping your skin nourished. - Store Properly:
Keep your essential oils in a dark, cool space to maintain their potency and shelf life. Treat them as you would Christmas cookies—safe, secure, and ready for use! - Daily Care:
Incorporate essential oils into your health routine. Lavender for relaxation, eucalyptus for clearer airways, or frankincense for grounding during this busy season. - Go Easy:
Remember, less is more. Diluting oils with a carrier and applying them more often is better than overusing a concentrated amount. - Share the Love:
Essential oils make thoughtful holiday gifts! Create personalized blends for loved ones or share your favorite uses to help others stay merry and bright.
By following these tips, you can safely and effectively enjoy the magic of essential oils this Christmas. Whether it’s diffusing holiday blends, soothing winter skin, or adding festive aromas to your gatherings, essential oils are a gift that keeps on giving! 🎄✨
