INCORPORATE ESSENTIAL OILS INTO SELF CARE

Essential oils can be incorporated into self care practices in a variety of ways. Here are a few examples:

Aromatherapy: Diffusing essential oils using a diffuser or adding a few drops to a warm bath can help create a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.
Topical application: Mixing essential oils with a carrier oil such as coconut oil or jojoba oil and applying it to the skin can help provide a variety of benefits, depending on the oil used.
Inhalation: Inhaling essential oils directly from the bottle or using them in a steam inhalation can help provide respiratory benefits.
Massage: Adding a few drops of essential oil to a carrier oil and using it for a massage can help promote relaxation and improve circulation.

It’s important to keep in mind that essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts and must be used with care. Be sure to use them as directed. If you have any medical conditions, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
