Where do the essential oils go? Into my meals and in my water. The fresh fruit and vegetables are snacks in between and during meals, lean or organic meat, and drink plenty of water. Our food has a zest to it - adding ginger and orange EO! I am using lime EO to help cut my salt and sugar cravings and grapefruit EO to help my digestion/ metabolism. At night, during our bedtime routine with my children, we add lavender and lemon EO with Epsom salt to their bath, which help relax my 9 and 3-year-old and cleanse their bodies of school and daycare germs. In our bedrooms, we have a Young Living Dewdrop Diffuser which aromatically transforms the oils in the air, hence a calm pattern of sleep. Diffusing throughout your house will also inspire positive emotions especially after a long day at work, enhance your spiritual and physical wellness, cleanse and purify your home.
