Essential Oils:

100 Summer Summer Diffuser Remedies

So, summer is here and has brought heat along with it. The warmer summertime months are the perfect time to diffuse and blend with essential oils. Oils from the mint, citrus and floral families are especially nice during summertime.

Therapeutic essential oils provide a simple and effective way to manage these ailments and may provide you with additional health benefits. They possess a unique molecular structure, which allows them to penetrate cell walls, transport oxygen, nutrients, and the chemical constituents of the oil. These oils can be used to treat sunburn, repel insects, soothe indigestion and heartburn, and expedite the healing process of strains and sprains. They should always be diluted with an organic carrier oil such as almond, jojoba, olive or peanut. With the exception of Lavender and Tea Tree oil, therapeutic essential oils should never be applied directly to the skin as it can cause skin irritation because they are highly concentrated. When using therapeutic essential oils, it is always recommended that you consult with your healthcare professional. If you are pregnant or nursing, avoid using therapeutic essential oils unless under the supervision of a certified and licensed professional.
