Why Use Essential Oils Daily?

Essential oils support wellness through their therapeutic properties, such as reducing stress, improving focus, or soothing skin. A 2019 study in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience found that inhaling lavender oil promotes relaxation by calming the nervous system. By incorporating Aroma Luxe’s high-quality oils into your routine, you can create moments of mindfulness and care every day.

Building Your Daily Routine

To create a sustainable routine, start small and gradually incorporate oils:

  • Choose 2-3 Oils: Select versatile oils like lavender, lemon, or tea tree to cover multiple needs.

  • Set a Schedule: Pair oils with existing habits (e.g., diffuse during morning coffee, apply a roller before work).

  • Experiment: Try different methods and scents to find what works best for you.

  • Track Benefits: Note how oils affect your mood, energy, or skin to refine your routine.

Sample Daily Routine:

  • Morning: Diffuse Lemon and Peppermint while getting ready.

  • Midday: Apply a Rosemary roller for focus during work.

  • Evening: Diffuse Lavender and Chamomile before bed.

  • Weekly: Use a Tea Tree face mask and a Cedarwood bath soak.

Safety Tips

  • Dilute Properly: Use a 1-2% dilution (6-12 drops per 30ml carrier oil) for topical use to avoid irritation.

  • Patch Test: Test diluted oils on a small skin area and wait 24 hours for reactions.

  • Quality Matters: Choose 100% pure, third-party tested oils from Aroma Luxe for safety and efficacy.

  • Ventilation: Diffuse in well-ventilated areas for 30-60 minutes to prevent overwhelm.

  • Consult Professionals: If pregnant, nursing, or managing health conditions, consult a healthcare provider.

  • Phototoxicity: Avoid sun exposure for 12 hours after applying citrus oils like bergamot or lemon topically.

  • Children and Pets: Use child-safe oils (e.g., lavender, chamomile) with higher dilution and avoid diffusing around pets with certain oils (e.g., tea tree).
