100 Uses for Essential Oils

Chapter two

Topical Use

While you might think that
people only use essential

oils topically to help improve
the skin, there are actually
dozens of other reasons for

topical use—including ones
you might not have thought of
like promoting feelings of clear

breathing, targeting areas of
tension through massage, and
even repelling insects.

Yes, essential oils have incredible benefits for the
skin, but topical use stretches beyond a glowing
complexion. Once you learn how to topically apply
essential oils safely and correctly, you’ll be surprised by
the far-reaching benefits you’ll experience.

Much like aromatic use, topical application of essential oils
is a relatively simple method that allows you to experience
their benefits both quickly and effectively. One of the
greatest benefits of using essential oils topically is that you
can target specific areas of the body to achieve a specific
desired effect. Additionally, you’ll enjoy the aroma of the
essential oil for several hours as it absorbs into the skin.

Before we get too deep into how

to use essential oils topically, let’s
discuss a few safety guidelines

that will help you to get the most
out of your essential oils, while
ensuring the protection of your skin.
