If you follow me on Instagram, for the entire month of April, I shared a new oily tip of the day each day. I had so much fun sharing all different ways to use essential oils. I wanted to compile everything here on the blog so that it can be easily referred to, if need be.
Also to note, I only use Young Living essential oils so just be aware that not all oils are made the same and therefore cannot be used in the same way as I may explain below.
In no particular order, let’s get started!
30 ESSENTIAL OIL USES

Choose 1 floral EO, 1 Woodsy EO, and 2 different citrus EO
Relaxation Technique: Put 1-2 drops of your favorite EO (Lavender, Envision, Gentle Baby, Peace and Calming, Grounding, Stress Away are some of my faves to use) in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together, then cup your face and take 3-5 deep breaths
Add a drop of Lavender to your shampoo to promote longer/thicker/shinier hair
Sangria: Fave wine, frozen grapes, and 1 drop of Orange EO

Perfume/Cologne: Make your own perfume and cologne using your fave oils. Make them in a roller bottle or a spray bottle. See some recipes HERE.
As you can see, you can use essential oils in so many ways! I hope this helps make your essential oil journey more fun and exciting. I always love finding new ways to use my oils.
The best way to get into oils is by ordering the starter kit as it gives you the best bang for your buck. It contains the most used oils and many of the uses above include a lot of the starter kit oils! You also get a diffuser so you can start diffusing right away.
