The Importance of Choosing Quality Essential Oils

Not all EO’s are created equal, and the benefits you experience heavily depend on their quality. More importantly, when selecting them, you will want to specifically look for:

• Purity: Ensure the oil is 100% pure, without fillers or synthetic additives.
• Sourcing: Only opt for oils sourced from their native regions, as this ensures the highest potency.
• Testing: Choose brands that provide third-party testing results to confirm quality.

Using synthetic or diluted oils not only diminishes their effectiveness but can also introduce unwanted chemicals to the body. High-quality oils, on the other hand, deliver the safe, therapeutic properties we are seeking. Therefore, by knowing what qualities to look for, you benefit from the power of pure EO’s to optimize and improve your health.

What Essential Oil Company Should I Buy From?

If you missed my previous blog on EO’s…you can catch up on that here! I’ve come to a conclusion as to which oil company I have picked as my favorite. Initially when I started using EO’s, I loved the DoTerra brand. I used them for over six (6) years but always struggled with how expensive they were. I would share my love of DoTerra’s oils by selling/sharing them at cost just so that people could afford and experience how powerful and life-changing they really are! In my opinion, they are overpriced.

I started doing some research and I discovered a different EO’s company that offers the same wonderful quality, but at a fraction of the cost. That company is (drumroll)…Revive. They can offer their pure, no fillers or synthetic additives, high potency and third-party tested oils, affordably because they do not use MLM (multi-level marketing). MLM pays other people within the company and it ends up inflating the cost of the oils. Revive sells directly from their website to you which allows them to pass the savings onto you.

Trust me when I tell you…you will love Revive’s oils! Start with a few basic choices to help improve some health issues you may be struggling with.

Benefits and Power of Essential Oils

Physical Health Benefits:

• Boost your immune system with oils like lemon, oregano or eucalyptus.
• Soothe digestive issues with peppermint, ginger or the digestive blend.
• Support respiratory health with tea tree, eucalyptus or the breathe blend.

Emotional Health Benefits:

• Lavender, chamomile and marjoram promote relaxation and restful sleep.
• Citrus oils like orange and bergamot uplift the mood and reduce stress.
• Frankincense, sandalwood and peppermint encourage mental clarity and focus.

Skin and Beauty Benefits:

• Tea tree can combat acne and reduce redness.
• Frankincense promotes a youthful glow and reduces fine lines.
• Rose oil provides deep hydration and soothes sensitive skin.

If we are not mindful, we can overload our bodies with all of the toxins that are “snuck” into our beauty and household products. These toxic ingredients are usually less expensive and are used to make the manufacturer more profit. Once we become familiar with these unwanted and unnecessary chemicals and toxic materials that should be avoided, we can make safer, informed choices for our health.

When our bodies become overloaded with toxins, we can have symptoms like rashes, headaches, nausea, fatigue and many others that can eventually lead to serious illness. The important thing is that we learn to choose differently to decrease the toxic burden on the body. It is imperative that we do this to detox and help “offload” as much as we can to ensure better future health. Some people think that we will naturally detox, but with everything we throw at our bodies along with eating poorly and poor air and water quality, this can create a health crisis.

Personal Care Using Essential Oils

• Add a few drops of lavender or rosemary to your shampoo for scalp health and a relaxing shower experience.
• Create a natural deodorant with tea tree and coconut oil.
• Make your own hand sanitizer in a small spray bottle with equal parts of alcohol and water, then add 3-4 drops of the protect blend.
• Make your own natural body wash using castile soap and add your favorite oil. I love adding peppermint, rosemary or lemon.
• Make a homemade foaming hand soap by using 3 tablespoons of castile soap, 3-4 drops of the protect blend (or your favorite oil scent) and top it off with water. I reuse the foaming soap pumps I already had (before I knew better) from popular companies that manufacture heavily scented, toxic products. Just rinse them out well and use them for your new healthy “smart” soaps!
• Make a beautiful body lotion by using organic coconut oil and add a few drops of your favorite oils. Hint: Whenever possible, store your EO’s recipes in glass containers, as plastic containers will leech out into your recipes.
• For improved oral health: Take a small glass container and fill it with baking soda, 7-10 drops of peppermint oil for freshness, 2-3 drops of frankincense oil for healing and 5-7 drops of clove oil. Use this several times a week.

Household Cleaning Using Essential Oils

• Mix lemon essential oil with white distilled vinegar for an effective, natural spot-free dishwasher rinse.
• Use a few drops of eucalyptus or lemon oil on wool dryer balls to help freshen up laundry.
• Use Revive’s Bugs Away or eucalyptus to repel insects.

Air Purification and Mood Enhancement

• Diffuse peppermint and lemon oils for an energizing workspace.
• Use lavender or marjoram oil in your bedroom for a calming, peaceful atmosphere.

I hope you are starting to see a pattern here. The uses and power of essential oils are endless! When I started using EO’s, I didn’t know which ones to use for what purpose.

By using EO’s instead of store bought products, you are boosting your overall health and this makes you “in charge” of your health.
