Why could you benefit from them? What can Aromatherapy do for you? How can you use the oils in regards to all areas of your life? Read all the way through to learn the seven astonishing powers of essential oils!
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are basically oils from flowers, woods, roots, and other natural sources. They are distilled with steam. The oil that comes from this steam is collected and put into a bottle.
While you can purchase some oils, be sure that you’re getting 100% grade oils. There are many out there who are selling watered down versions that are not as pure. If you really want something pure, do it yourself.
Yes, you can DIY essential oils! It’s your choice to make. There are plenty of reputable essential oils representatives that can help you find what suits your needs. Now, let’s get into the different powers of essential oils.
What Can Essential Oils Do?
1. Healing Essential Oils
Healing essential oils have been used since ancient times. It’s not a new practice, but rather, it has recently been revived. From what the studies have shown over hundreds of years, these oils can very much be used to help healing.
This includes all areas of healing! They can be used for physical healing, emotional healing, soul healing, and spiritual healing.
These can be used via aromatherapy in a diffuser. It’s a small device that you put water and a few drops of the healing oil you plan to use for the day. You put it where you will smell the aroma.
This is called Aromatherapy. What it does is vaporize into fumes with the water that comes out into the air for you to breathe in. It will not only achieve healing with your mind, but also with your senses.
Find the oil that most suits what is happening in your life that needs a bit of healing. Here are some examples:
Emotional Healing: Use ylang-ylang, bergamot, frankincense, sandalwood, and clary sage.
Physical Healing (pain, cold, sinuses, etc.): Use peppermint, eucalyptus, tea tree, clove, and rosemary.
Spiritual Healing: Use angelica, anise, juniper, lemon, myrrh, and cedarwood.
Some of these are topical and can be used on your skin, and some of them are only for a diffuser, so please read the instructions before you use any of them. Some are toxic to ingest while some are approved food grade.
For example, citrus oils such as lemon, orange, and bergamot should not be used on the skin, and are even dangerous to do so. Other oils can be toxic or irritating as well, so please do your research before experimenting with any essential oil that you are unfamiliar with, so that you stay safe and that you are positive that they are being used in a helpful way, rather than in a toxic way.
2. Meditation And Manifestation
This is one of the most common reasons people use essential oils. They want to boost their spirituality and get closer to a higher power. Perhaps they are trying to manifest a better life.
They may be trying to lose weight, make more money, draw in love, or make that new career happen.
Whatever it is they are using meditation and manifestation for, there are definitely some essential oils that work really well. Naturally, the best way is via aromatherapy with a diffuser.
The smells infiltrate their senses while they are concentrating on the meditation and manifestation work.
The best oils for this would be lavender, clary sage, frankincense, or sandalwood. They are all very relaxing and help to clear your mind. It can also help you meditate stress away.
It’s hard to concentrate when you’re carrying stress. These oils work double-time as relaxation and help to give you the spiritual clarity you seek.
3. Yoga Practices
When you’re trying to improve your health, mind, and spirit, yoga is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Yes, there are oils that work really well in tandem.
The essential oils that help with yoga are patchouli, orange, sandalwood, and clary sage. I mentioned those with meditation and yoga is a form of physical meditation.
It helps you line up with your spirit and inner light. When you use the oils during yoga, you are practicing Aromatherapy. It helps penetrate your mind so that you can relax and be in the moment.
Many use this when trying to heal their bodies and increase their system’s ability to function properly. It’s good for the mind, body, and spirit. It’s a whole experience.
Using essential oils with this is a very productive way to utilize Aromatherapy. It gives you the confidence you need in yourself and boosts your ability to stay focused.
4. Love Relationships And Sex
When you’re trying to heal your heart from past wounds, you can use essential oils just as you can use them to lure in new healthy relationships. It can be used for friendships or in finding a partner.
This can also be used with meditation, if that’s your goal or in manifesting. Candles are also nice if you can find them with the essential oil in them. It’s a different aromatherapy approach but still does the same thing.
The oils that work really well in healing love, restoring love, or finding new love are vanilla, patchouli, rose, clary sage, and jasmine.
Try burning a candle with one of those scents or a diffuser if you’d like. They are also incense infused with these oils as well. It’s all about your preference and what resonates with you most.
While focused on your manifesting, take in the beautiful scent that you are using while having perfect faith in the Universe to provide you the right love, at the right time, with the right person.
A good secret also is wearing these scents. It may draw in a new partner. They smell it on you and are drawn to you. Give it a shot and see what happens!
Another step you could take is ordering pheromone oil infused with one of those scents. You’ll be beating them off with a stick!
5. Money, Success, and Career
If you’re trying to make more money, manifesting abundance and prosperity, looking to succeed in a new career, or seeking guidance, essential oils can work for you.
Just as I’ve mentioned meditating and manifesting, you can use oils, incense, or candles that will help you achieve your goals to success.
What kind of essential oils work for this? Well… there are single scents such as frankincense or myrrh. You can also use lavender, clove, juniper, jasmine, lemon, or eucalyptus.
You can also find “money magnet” types of mixtures through certain vendors or websites that will have a few of these scents mixed for optimum success.
