Aromatherapy & Essential Oils

NOW Solutions essential oils are genuine reflections of the botanicals of which they're born. This wide array of essential oils is comprised of 100% pure and natural extracts teeming with beneficial substances possessing functional groups that, when properly diffused, can encourage wellness, tranquility and inspire minds.

 

Aromatherapy is the diffusion of pure, natural aromatic essences from plants and botanicals for the purpose of promoting harmony of the body, mind and spirit. It's a natural technique that's non-invasive yet all-encompassing in its ability to affect the well-being of the whole person through the use of one of our most powerful senses - the sense of smell.

 

Aromatherapy works through two different methods of action. The first is through the effect of aromas on the brain, which work through the olfactory system to affect the limbic  system. The second is through the direct effects of the beneficial substances naturally inherent in the botanicals that essential oils are derived from. Aromatherapy is not intended as a cure for any ailment. Rather, it helps to promote homeostasis, possibly through indirect effects on the immune system and by improving the mental state of the user.

 

The science of producing essential oils has evolved significantly over the years. These days producing an essential oil that's highly concentrated, identity verified, and beneficial is a craft that involves a delicate balance of art and science that cannot be compromised. Fresh botanicals bursting with vitality, strict attention to detail, and meticulous extraction methods are what separate the elite essential oils from the run-of-the-mill natural and synthetic oils you'll find on the market today. At NOW Solutions we take the quality and safety of our oils very seriously, and we take great pride in ensuring that every oil we produce is brought to you in a manner that's scientifically and environmentally responsible.

The Essentials of Using Essential Oils

When was the last time you changed your HVAC filter? Were you surprised by how much was trapped in the used filter? That’s really only a portion of what lurks in the air in your home. Dust and dander are common, but if you use air fresheners, you’re adding chemicals to the air your family breathes. Ditch the plugins and sprays and switch to essential oils. High-quality essential oils are distilled from plants, and when used correctly, can help clean the air in your home while providing you with pure, pleasant scents.

How-To Use Essential Oils

The most effective way to use essential oils to cleanse the air and enjoy aromatherapy is to use a diffuser. Ultrasonic diffusers use water along with the essential oil of your choice to create a cool mist. For aromatherapy, stay away from diffusers that use heat. Cool mist diffusers are safer (no burn concerns), and heat can negatively alter the scent of some oils. If you just want to infuse a single room, a 4-ounce diffuser will work nicely. Opt for a larger diffuser to get aromatherapy benefits for the whole house (like this stylish wooden diffuser).

Essential Safety for Using Essential Oils

It’s important to note that essential oils are concentrated, and as such, should be used with a few safety guidelines. Demetria Clark, director of Heart of Herbs Herbal School and author of several books about essential oil use, offers these important safety guidelines:

  1. Make sure you’re buying a pure essential oil- read the label and look for the botanical name and the common name. The ingredients list should only have the oil name, no other carrier oils. If they have chemical names, it’s probably a potpourri oil and you don’t want to put that on your skin or in a diffuser.
  2. Make sure you use them properly. Do not ingest essential oils. There are a lot of rumors going around online and none of those have been verified. Don’t put undiluted essential oil on the skin. Use a carrier oil like olive oil, coconut oil, apricot oil, rose hip seed oil, grapeseed oil, or walnut oil. When you begin mixing with a new essential oil, start with a small number of essential oil drops. You can add a few more drops at a time when you learn how you will respond to the oils. Less is more; keep it simple.
  3. Essential oils can cause different reactions in different people. You can even become over-sensitized after using an oil for a long time. If it makes you uncomfortable, stop using it. Reactions can range from headaches, to nausea, to skin irritation. If you do have a reaction, soak a washcloth with milk and wipe the area to help remove some of the essential oil (the casein in milk binds with oil to carry it away).
  4. Do your homework, select good oils, stop using if irritation occurs. Just because it’s good for headaches doesn’t mean you’ll like the smell. Anything that makes you uncomfortable is your body telling you to stop using that product.

“Don’t think, “I have to use this whole bottle because I paid for it.” If it makes you feel unwell, give that bottle away and try something else.” Clark also recommends keeping it simple, “Too often we overcomplicate things. Start with one essential oil and follow your diffuser’s instructions. See how you like it and go from there.”

Best Essential Oils to Use in Diffusers

Which oils you use will depend on your current aromatherapy needs. Lavender oil is great if you want to relax and unwind. Use this essential oil in the bedroom to help get a great night’s sleep. Chamomile is also known to help calm the nerves. Try eucalyptus oil to help relieve stuffy noses. If you want a crisp, clean scent, tea tree oil is a great option.

You can also mix oils to create great scents and aromatherapy benefits. Clark suggests starting with a smaller number of drops than a recipe calls for, saying “you can always add more, but if you start with too much then it’s too late. Until you know how you will react to a certain oil or recipe, it’s best to start light.” She provides this simple recipe as a great starter:

Heart of Herbs Summer Sunshine Aromatherapy for Head, Home, and Heart

Use this blend when the winter blues having you feeling “blah” or in the summer to freshen indoor air that can get musty due to humidity.

Each diffuser has its own recommended number of drops, so adjust the drops per your diffuser’s instructions.

4 drops grapefruit essential oil
1 drop rosemary essential oil
1 drop eucalyptus essential oil
Water

You can also use essential oils around the house. Mix a few drops of lemon oil with vinegar for a good house-cleaning mixture that will clean and disinfect hard surfaces like counters, as well as wood furniture. For personal care, try diluting chamomile oil in a carrier oil to treat wounds and skin irritation.

One of the best things about essential oils is their versatility. Try using them different ways to find your favorite usages. If you follow Clark’s essential safety for essential oil use, you’re sure to enjoy using essential oils, and your indoor air quality will likely improve by switching chemical air fragrances for purer options.
