10 Tips for Essential Oil Beginners
1. Get Started-
Sometimes the hardest part is the simple step to just start. Whether it’s purchasing the oils, finding new ways to use oils, or simply starting to ask questions, taking the leap to get started is so important.
Once you start, it’s a lot easier to continue on your journey.
2. Invest in Quality Oils-
Since essential oils are so powerful and potent, it’s important to get essential oils from brands you can trust. Even if all you are doing is diffusing, the quality of oils matters.
In the beginning of my journey, I used another brand than the one I do now not realizing the importance of quality. I didn’t understand why the oils weren’t working with my family. I started doing a lot of research and finally found a company I trusted.
Jumping right in, I ordered their oils. As soon as they arrived at my house, I felt the difference right away and could finally see the benefits other people were talking about!
Quality matters, and it’s also important to do your own research. Here is the brand I trust for myself and my family and why. If you have any questions, you can contact me. I would love to help in anyway I can.
3. Use Oils Everyday-
The best way to learn how to use essential oils is to use them each day. You don’t have to use “all the oils” for everything, but instead, just learn one new way to use oils. Even if it’s simply diffusing a new one one day and learning a benefit it offers.
It’s going to take some time to learn about essential oils because there is so much information out there (and it continues growing everyday). That’s why the goal should be to take small, consistent steps each day. Taking these little steps each day will lead to big results!
4. Use Organic Carrier Oils when Applied Topically-
One way to use essential oils is by using them topically. Some common places to do this are on the bottoms of your feet, your temples, the back of your neck, up and down your spine, or on your wrists.
It’s important to make sure you dilute the oils when you do this. “Dilute” simply means to add a carrier oil to the essential oil before applying it. It helps to dilute the strength of the essential oil.
Using an organic carrier is important because anything we put onto our skin gets absorbed. Our skin is our largest organ (which is also why we want to make sure we are using non toxic skincare products).
5. Use Glass-
Since essential oils are so potent and powerful, they can break down plastic especially when they aren’t diluted. That’s why it’s so important make sure to use glass when you can. This includes glass containers for recipes, glass roller bottles, or using stainless steel options.
6. When in Doubt, Diffuse-
There are many different ways to use essential oils. If you are ever unsure if an essential oil can be used topically or not, then just diffuse it. You get therapeutic benefits from diffusing essential oils, so it’s always a safer alternative if you are unsure.
7. Frankincense is Always a Good Choice-
Frankincense is called the, “King of Oils,” for so many different reasons. It’s one of the top oils I believe everyone should keep on hand.
Not only does it have great benefits, but it’s also an oil that is safe for babies and kiddos. If in doubt of what oil to use, Frankincense is a good choice!

8. Rollers are a Great Choice for On The Go-
Rollerballs are one of my favorite ways to use essential oils. They are easy to make and easy to apply. This makes them perfect for go-to oils when you are out and about.
I have storage for my oils that I keep in my purse for the times I need them when I’m out. They are so easy to store and pull out when needed.
9. Give Yourself Grace-
You aren’t going to know everything about essential oils all at once. There is so much information, and even though I have been using essential oils for over 6 years, I am still learning more each day since new research is constantly being done!
It’s also important to remember to give yourself grace. Have fun when starting to use essential oils, and remember to take joy in the journey! Living a natural lifestyle isn’t a destination that one arrives at, but instead, it’s a life-long journey. Enjoy!
10. Continue to Learn-
Since there is so much to learn about essential oils, and new things are happening everyday, it’s important to continue learning as you go. You don’t have to know everything about essential oils by tomorrow, but take your time and enjoy the process. It’s exciting to know you are supporting yourself and your family using natural tools.
As you keep learning and growing, you will be amazed at how these oils will change your life!
