When using essential oils for emotional support, it's important to use them safely and correctly. Essential oils should always be diluted before applying them topically. A general rule is 1-5% and they should never be ingested unless directed by a trained professional.
Inhaling oils directly from the bottle, or diluting and massaging them onto your body, or making a quick mist are just a few ways to incorporate essential oils into your life for emotional support.
They have a subtle energetic effect and also some physical effect on the body.
If you have the opportunity to inhale different essential oils, observe how you react to each oil. This can help you find the best oils for you.

Plants are our allies and natures gift to us. Essential oils are a great gift and I believe, because they are so fast acting they are perfectly suited to our modern fast paced times and those looking for quick actions.
