If you have thought about using essential oils in your family, now is the time to start using them. There are a lot of different ways to use essential oils for all aspects of your family. This is perfect because you do not need to use essential oils for every part of your life, you get to choose how and when you use them.

Your whole family can use them, no matter what stage of life they are in. You can start small and work your way up to using them in a lot of aspects in your life.

Here are five areas you can start using essential oils in:

Your Home Life

This is probably the easiest area to start using them. If you have an essential oil diffuser, you can easily drop a few essential oils into it, turn it on and let it work. This allows your house to smell amazing and everyone in the room gets the benefits of aromatherapy.

If you do not have a diffuser, you can use essential oils in your home by using lemon or citrus oils to clean your house. This leaves your house cleaner than it was before without using harsh chemicals and products.

Sports and Active Lifestyles

Maybe your whole family is super athletic or maybe just one person in your family loves sports. If they play sports on a consistent basis, you understand the problem that may arise from their laundry basket or sports bag. Essential oils can help you keep the stink at bay so everyone in your family can still breathe in your home.

You can use essential oils to beat stink by placing some empty cartridges in your child’s bag and applying essential oils to them. This will keep the stink away without you having to do a bunch of laundry every time there is practice.

Anxieties and Worries

Essential oils are another great option if your kids are approaching stressful tests throughout the school year. Keep your diffuser handy and turn it on when your kids come home from school and start to study and do their homework.

It can also be helpful for adults or anyone who has trouble falling asleep at night. You can apply essential oils to the bottom of your feet or body to calm you down and ensure that you are able to fall asleep at a decent time. You can also keep a diffuser on a low setting in your bedroom before you go to bed.

Healthcare and Beauty

Whether you want to improve your skincare routine, or focus on daily meditation for your health, essential oils are so versatile. However, you want to support essential oil companies that are ethical. You can read about doTerra vs. Revive online to determine which companies you should support. Essential oils are a great addition to your beauty routine if you use the right ones.

This allows you to live a healthy lifestyle while also using products that support your lifestyle. You no longer have to worry about harmful products from the store and whether or not they are safe for your body. This gives you the peace of mind that your body is receiving the nutrients it needs to live a healthy life.

Pets and Furry Friends

Yes, you can use essential oils on your pets. They can usually be used on larger animals such as horses, dogs and cats. It is not safe to use essential oils on aquatic creatures like fish or smaller animals such as rats.

You will need to do some research to see what essential oils can be used on your pet and where they can be used. Most of them need to be diluted and are usually rubbed on the paws or pads of your animal’s paws.

Incorporating essential oils in your house does not have to be a grand experiment and it does not have to be stressful. What are some ways that you enjoy using essential oils in your family? Share this with a friend who is thinking about using essential oils!
