How do therapeutic essential oils work?
When essential oils are applied to the skin, they begin to work immediately entering the circulatory system in just 30 seconds and thanks to their lipophilic properties (soluble in lipids), they have the extraordinary ability to penetrate the cell membrane and help the body to heal. According to Jean Valnet, father of modern phytotherapy and aromatherapy, essential oils can penetrate every cell of the body in 20 minutes, are metabolized like all other nutrients, and are then eliminated by the body in 3-4 hours.
How are essential oils used?
Essential oils can be spread around the house or in the car with diffusers,
they can be applied directly to the skin or taken orally
Widespread
The most common system is the use of speakers. The essential oil is diluted in water (from 5 to 20 drops) and then breathed, thus arriving in the blood. It is essential that the oil is not hot, otherwise it risks burning and losing most of its beneficial effects, so we avoid heating it with candles or other heat sources, using ultrasonic diffusers instead. These pleasant essences of nature help us to regain well-being by reconciling body and mind.
Aromatic use
On the skin
A characteristic of essential oils is that they are quickly absorbed by the skin so a few drops of pure oil (from 1 to 5) or diluted in other vegetable oil (1 part of essential oil in 1-4 parts of vegetable oil) can be applied to the wrists, temples, feet, behind the ears or neck and do a massage. It is good practice to check for possible skin sensitivity by applying a drop to the inside of the arm before more extensive use.The roller is another very convenient method of applying essential oil, pre-diluted rollers are available or you can make your own, to your liking.
Topical use
Orally
The most effective method is taking it orally which will bring the essential oil inside our body to receive the maximum benefits. It can be encapsulated, diluted in water, in other oil, in honey or in food, in this case it is good to have an expert follow .
