Essential Oils Have Been Around Since The Beginning Of Time
So first off, essential oils were mankind's first medicine!! We know from Egyptian hierglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, that essential oils have been around for literally THOUSANDS of years!

We also know that essential oils were mostly used in the embalming process. We also know that preserved essential oils were found in King Tut's tomb in alabaster jars. Want proof?? Here is the source! http://www.therapeutic-grade.com/refs/history.html

In hieroglyphics, Egyptian temples were dedicated to producing and blending essential oils and recipes and they were recorded on the hieroglypics themselves.

In addition, there are 188 references to essential oils in the bible!! Some references include the use of frankincense, myrrh, and rosemary.

First Reason Why To Use Essential Oils
There are 3 ways to use essential oils correctly and gain all the benefits from them! The first way of applying them is by direct application or topical.

Topical use is when you put the essential oil right at the area of concert (For example, applying them on your ankle when you get a sprain). To achieve the best results, just add one to three drops of an essential oil! That is plenty! Why? Because essential oils are so potent, more drops are not required.

Heres a tip! When applying them topically, the bottom of your feet are the second fastest area of the body to absorb oils because of the large pores. Other recommended areas are behind your ears and on your wrists!


Massage
Massage is stimulating muscles, skin, and tissues using techniques to help bring healing, balance, and connection. When essential oils are applied in massages, they can help enhance the benefits of massage!

To create a simple massage oil, combine 3-10 drops of your desired essential oil or blend with 1 tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil. Apply a little amount of this mixture right on the location and massage into the skin using light to medium-light strokes of the hand and fingers.

The AromaTouch Technique
doTERRA has a proven technique that will give you the best massage experience with essential oils! This is a simple but POWERFUL technique for applying certain oils on the spine and feet. AromaTouch is a mixture of 8 essential oils by doTERRA that has been shown to help stress reduction, immune enhancement, inflammatory reduction, and homeostasis. You can read more about AromaTouch on the blog! http://dreamdoterra.blogspot.com/2011/04/aromatouch-ultim...

Reflex Therapy
Reflex therapy is the method of applying essential oils on contact points (nerve endings) in the feet or hands. A series of hand rotations at those control points create a vibrational healing energy that carries the essential oils along the neuroelectrical pathways. Here is a Reflex Therapy Chart! http://www.svetas.com/images/reflex_chart.jpg

Auricular Therapy
Auricular therapy is when you apply essential oils to various points of the rim of your ears to affect changes on internal body parts. Only a small amount of essential oils are needed to be applied at the points. Here is an Auricular Therapy Chart! http://acupuncture-pregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/...
