How Do I Use Essential Oils Safely? (internally)

Jenee Ricks

Internal

Certain #essentialoils have a rich culinary history and can be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety of healthy conditions. When you sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal, sip a mug of peppermint tea, or add fresh basil leaves to your spaghetti, you are actually consuming some volatile aromatic essential oil compounds.

Essential oil contributes many #health #benefits as well as flavoring and aroma properties to foods. When in their concentrated form, essential oils can be used as #dietary #supplements for more targeted and potent health benefits. Internal use is a very safe and effective method of application because of the sophisticated physiologic processes of our bodies.

When #ingested, essential oils directly enter the #blood stream via the #gastrointestinal tract, where they are transported throughout the rest of the body. Essential oils are lipid soluble so they are readily transported to all organs of the body, including the brain. Then, like all things we consume, essential oils are metabolized by the liver and other organs and are then excreted.

The composition of essential oils is highly complex. Each constituent possesses a unique set of biochemical properties that react with cells and organs in different ways. Although these mechanisms of action are not completely understood, the positive end results have been demonstrated. However, the body is only equipped to handle appropriate doses of essential oils.

Proper dosing according to labeling recommendations and other professional guidelines should be strictly followed to avoid toxicity.

Effective Methods of Internal Application

  • Use oils in recipes for cooking or baking to replace fresh or dried herbs and spices
  • Remember that essential oils are much more potent than dried or fresh herbs and spices, so start with a very small amount
  • For more potent oils, it may be better to administer them by toothpicks (dip the end of a clean toothpick into the oil and then add to the food) rather than drops
  • Add essential oils to water, smoothies, milk, tea, or other drinks
  • Take essential oils #internally in a #veggie capsule or add to a small amount of applesauce or yogurt

Lemon, Peppermint or Lavender?

I want to know what YOU use each one for! Tell me and comment below.

We use lavender for night time in our diffusers.

Peppermint is when we get a stuffy nose, put a drop under your nose and breathe in!

Lemon, I love it in my water! Remember, use glass not plastic.

Alzheimer’s Disease

Jenee Ricks

Do you know someone who has #Alzheimer’s Disease?

Alzheimer’s is a progressive and fatal disease that attacks and kills brain cells, causing a loss of memory and other intellectual capacities.

I’m sure if you don’t know someone who has the disease you know someone who does. It’s most commonly diagnosed in individuals over the age of 65. As the #disease progresses, individuals who have it often experience mood swings, long term #memory loss, confusion, irritability, aggression and then a decreased ability to communicate.

Most diseases are hard to watch a loved one get, but this one, to me is really sad. You have an individual who was so strong in their earlier years, not be able to live daily the way they were use to.

Do you remember the #diffusers that I talk about? Well we are going to get into that again.

There are 2 ways I would use oils to help with Alzheimer’s. Now remember, #essential oils do not cure it.

The first way is in the diffuser:

2 drops of #Coriander & 4 drops of #Lemon in a diffuser with water. Diffuse it 15 minutes daily.

The other way I would use it would be in a roller bottle:

5 drops of #Frankincense

5 drops of #Sandalwood

5 drops of #Cedarwood

Fill the remaining of the rollerbottle with #Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Apply this to the brain stem area on the back of the neck. I also applied this on the under side top of the big toe. I used this mixture on a loved one who had a stroke. Message me with any questions!! Feel free to share any of these posts with friends too!
