Topical Application- Blending

Hi folks,

When applying essential oils, some people might use blending method.

What is Blending?

I am sure for many beginners, more often than not we would search on the internet to find out more on how to use anything including essential oils and we would find lotsa blends or recipes for all sorts of usage.

In the eo pocket reference book, it will also gives some tested and researched protocols or blends for specific usage.

I have personally tried to mix the blends from single oils (YL has its own blend like RC, Harmony, Citrus Fresh, etc that have already come with a specific tested protocol/ proportion that you wouldn’t want to change it) for my son(first aid spray) when his knee was bleeding from falling on the tar road.

And recently I also mix a roll-on (consist of Cool Azul and Idaho Balsam Fir with the carrier oil- Body Ease Massage oil from Young Living) for my dad when he complained of severe backache. He said it helped his back pain and he can resume his exercise and weekly walking and city touring trip with his friend.

I find that making a blend(in a specific quantity and following a specific protocol) is useful especially when you want it to make it easy and simple enough for someone to use it.

For example when I want to pass to my babysitter/nursery teacher to apply it for my youngest son(now he’s old enough to roll on himself), for my older ones when they have sniffles, or as insect repellent or simply for them to combat situation when they need to use what they called the “stinky” public toilets.

More so for my dad or for gentleman who would be more willing to use it when it’s made into a roll-on as it’s easier to apply on-the-go, fuss free and manly as they wouldn’t prefer carrying bottles of oils around with the carrier oil just to mix and apply 😉

So what kind of blends have you tried and found useful? Or is there any specific protocol you like to find out? Drop your comments and sharing now and you might just win yourself something nice eo to try.

Topical Application

Hi folks!

Besides diffusing the essential oils(eo) with a good quality diffuser, another way of using essential oil that we used a lot in our home is by topical application.

What are topical application?
It means applying the oils topically on our body usually through the biggest organs of our body, a.k.a. out skin.

There are few ways of applying topically:
☝Neat vs Dilute
For beginners, it is always good to dilute your essential oils with a plant-based carrier oils before applying to your skin. Diluting will not make the eo less effective. It simply slows down the speed the eo enters to our body. This is useful for people who might have sensitive skin or have very thin layer of skin like the children and elderly.

Some of the types of carrier oils:
🥃 Virgin coconut oils(VCO)
🥃 Sweet almond oil
🥃 Olive oils 
🥃 V6 oil from Young Living 
🥃 Cel-lite Massage oil from Young Living
🥃 OrthoEase Massage oil from Young Living
🥃 OrthoSport Massage oil from Young Living
🥃 Sensation oil from Young Living

I personally love V6 oil as it’s less greasy(I can even apply on my face) compared to the VCO that I used to apply. Also, some people do not tolerate the smell of VCO very well.

And, I would use OrthoEase Massage during the Raindrop massage.

Cel-lite Massage oil will come into picture when I mix my citrus fresh+cypress blend to combat cellulite issues as cypress eo is great for blood circulation and citrus fresh works well at the fatty spot.

And these bottles last me quite sometime!  Very cost-effective I would say!

Now, when will I use neat application? More for adults, for me, I would dab Melaleuca (tea tree oil) neat on my acne as it works better for me this way.

Also, when I do Raindrop massage, the essential oils are applied neat in layers(we will talk about layering and also blending in another post).

Diffusing

Hi folks!

We started our journey of using Young Living essential oils more than three years ago and when my friends asked me what is the easiest way to start incorporating essential oils(eo) as part of their health regime, I would recommend diffusing with a good quality diffuser and of course good quality essential oils.

Why diffuser is a great way to start using the essential oils?

There are some common ways to start using the essential oils:
💧Diffusing
👋Topical Application
🥃Ingesting

Today I like to touch on diffusing.

For beginners, diffusing is the easiest way to start. And for me, it worked great for my family of 5.

Being a mom of 3, I often try to find the most cost-effective measures. I find that diffusing oils in the room with 3 or all 5 of us in there is like hitting 5 birds with one stone! All 5 of us get the benefits from that 2-3 drops of essential oil added to diffuser. How awesome is that!

Also, if at the beginning, you have a gentleman at home who simply refuse to sleep early or take any measures to improve his health condition, diffusing is a great way to benefit him in a more gentle and indirect way. I would diffuse lavender for a good night rest for my husband and I. And when he have stuffy nose, I would diffuse Peppermint or Eucalyptus oil.

As for children, they are really smart, they know what is good for them and they are a big fan of eo and diffusers. After I got my first diffuser, I used to diffuse it once in each room(moving it manually from room to room). Later on, I find it easier to just have a diffuser in each room. So now my kids have their own diffuser and a set of their favourite oils to diffuse and they would ON the diffuser themselves at night before they go to bed.
(Let me share more about the oils my kids would diffuse and apply as part of their daily aroma routine in a separate post)

We have a Aria Diffuser at our Master bedroom(and everyone just love to crowd and sleepover at mom and dad's room!), Dewdrop diffuser, Desert Mist diffusers and AromaLux Diffuser in other rooms; and we also have a USB/ORB diffuser in our car 🚗 during our travel. It is an awesome way to have a therapeutic 30mins+ ride diffusing oils like lemon, peppermint, grapefruit,etc eo ❤️. By the time you've reached office or your destination, you are fully all relaxed and calm and ready to go full force 💪
