Frequently Asked Questions about Essential Oils

Have questions about essential oils? We've included answers to many frequently asked questions below. If you don't see your answer, contact us at (518) 327-3470 or send email online.

What are essential oils?

Essential oils are aromatic volatile liquids distilled from plants — it can take an entire plant to produce a single drop of distilled essential oil. Read about essential oils on our What are essential oils? page. For more information, we recommend The Essential Oils Desk Reference.


Essential Oils Diffuser

How can I use essential oils?

The easiest way to use essential oils is to disperse them into the air. Pour a couple of drops in your palm, onto a cotton ball over a vent, or misted into the air with pure water — and inhale.

Using a diffuser (like the one in the picture to the right) to micromist the oil molecules into the room is the most efficient method of "air delivery". Just pour a few drops of pure, organic therapeutic-grade essential oils into the diffuser's well (the indentation in the dark green piece at the front of the picture), turn it on, and enjoy a fine mist of delightfully aromatic oils.

Other methods are absorbtion through the skin and in food and drink. For more information: How to use Essential Oils | Diffusers

Who is Young Living Essential Oils?

Young Living Essential Oils is the Utah-based manufacturer of the finest quality essential oils in the world — pure organic therapeutic grade essential oils, many of which have been designed as "Food Grade" by the FDA. The owner of the AromaVital.com website, Lynn Cameron, is a knowledgeable and experienced distributor of Young Living Essential Oils.

Where can I find information about specific uses for essential oils?

Each person reacts differently to these powerful substances and is encouraged to find what works for you. AromaVital highly recommends Essential Oils Desk Reference – Second Addition, and the portable, Quick Pocket Reference by Connie Higley. Both are available in our Online Store.

Which essential oils are safe to eat?

All essential oils that are Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) or certified as Food Additives (FA) by the FDA may be safely taken internally as dietary supplements. The Grapefruit and Orange in the Culinary Kit are actually very therapeutically effective when used as real, delicious flavorings. All essential oils offered by AromaVital are FDA-approved food additives, and common sense, of course, applies.

Is there research data to support therapeutic use of Essential Oils?

Absolutely. There is a growing body of exciting information from health professionals all over the world on both the laboratory and clinical levels. For more information, read our Essential Oils page. We also suggest Integrated Aromatic Medicine 2000 and several other tapes/videos suggested in our AromaVital Store.

What's the best reason for having a diffusing appliance in my home?

It smells good!

And breathing micromist vapor of essential oils makes oxygen more available to our cells — more oxygen translates to strength and efficiency in body systems. See also What are Essential Oils?.
