Knowledge is Power

A while ago I was talking about how important it is to be knowledgable about how the “Schools” of aromatherapy work. Basically if you want to know what I was speaking about just go here. The basics here is not talking about actual aromatherapy schools that you would take courses at to become a certified aromatherapist. It is talking about how essential oils are divided by the method you follow with using the EO’s.

Yes there are schools where you take courses and you can become a certified aromatherapist but even before you take courses at one of those it is of vital importance to know the three schools of aromatherapy!

Most of the schools you take courses at are teaching you in the viewpoint of the British methods of aromatherapy. Which then also teaches us what?

If people are not fully educated and don’t understand that there are differences or don’t realize what the real differences are, you can’t understand why some people are writing or making statements the way they do!

Make sure you take the time to educate yourself! Make sure you take the time to understand the difference between British, German and French methods of using essential oils. Make sure you take the time to learn that most schools that you would get an aromatherapy license from is taught in the British method. That means most articles that are written and tell you not to use the essential oils neat or digest them do so because they do not believe in it. They are not using pure therapeutic essential oils.

Beware! Knowledge is Power…. The more you education yourself the better it is when someone asks why such and such article says not to ingest this oil or that, the better it is when someone asks you why YOU apply essential oil’s neat when such and such says…

Carrier Oils

Have you wondered what in the world a carrier oil is? When I first started to use Young Living and I was reading online I would see words like: neat, carrier oils, c.o., dilute and I  would think what in the world does this mean and what do I use!

Then as I started to use I started to ask more and more questions and do some more digging!

Basically some essential oils should be diluted. Instructions may call for it, you may have sensitive skin or you may just want to use all of your Young Living essential oils with a carrier to extend the life of your oil!

There are a lot of different oils you can use for a carrier. Some of those options are YL V-6, Coconut, Olive, Almond, Grapeseed, Jojoba, and Sunflower. Those are not the only options you have but gives you a place to start. No matter what you decide upon for a carrier oil make sure that  you are selecting the ones that are unrefined, cold pressed, pure, and organic.

In our home we all have different ones we have a preference for. I love using coconut for anything but my face. On my face I love grapeseed or shea butter. Jack David loves grapeseed oil. Bella loves coconut or olive. As you can see we all have things we prefer. Thankfully in our house we have a lot of them to choose from. We have the ones we use in the kitchen for cooking and then we have the ones we use for personal use in the two main bathrooms!

If you are unsure what oil to start with or how to figure out what would be best for you I suggest visiting this site: Comedogenic Ratings (will it clog pores and give acne). It was very helpful when I was starting out!
