How do you decide what essential oils to use?

Hello! It’s spring time now and flowers are blooming, the temperature is just right to have the windows open, and the wind is blowing enough to make me want to go fly a kite.  This is a favorite time of year for me. 

This blog is here to address questions people have asked us or to give tips and ways to use oils. Today I was asked why do I love essential oils?  I love them because of how they make me feel.  Isn’t that really why we use them?  They make us feel good, feel cleansed, feel rejuvenated, happy, uplifted, energized, healthy, any number of feelings.  We want to do something good for ourselves.  Something to improve our quality of life.

That’s the criteria you should use when deciding which oil to use and when.  How do they make you feel?  How do you want to feel right now?  Do you have a headache?  Try some Peppermint.  Do you feel tired and worn out?  Try Energize.  Do you feel jangled and on edge?  Try Quiet Moments.  Find what makes you feel centered, strong, and yourself.  Then you will be using essential oils the way they should be used.

As for me, I want to think of spring and all of the new growth it brings so I am going to diffuse Revitalize and watch the neighbor kids fly their kites.
