Many people have asked, “How often can essential oils be used?” The answer, quite simply, is “as often as you like”.  Unlike synthetic drugs that can remain in the body indefinitely, all portions of essential oils not immediately used by the body are eliminated within 20 minutes.

Does this mean that the oils are ineffective after 20 minutes?  Answer is No!

Essential oils are complex substances with hundreds of different chemical components.  Our bodies know what they need to come to balance, and they select the components from the oils and eliminate the remaining ones that are not needed at that time.  Balance is the key word because the body is always searching for whatever will bring about balance – homeostasis.  Even though one’s symptoms may be quite similar from one time to another, the imbalances may be different.  Introducing the essential oils often will give the body the chance to choose what it needs at that particular time.

If all the components that the body needs for balance are offered, then the body can quickly balance.  However, if a few are missing, it may take a repeating the oils and/or introducing additional ones for the body to have all of the chemical constituents necessary for balance. It is not necessary for us to know what the body needs because the body is quite capable of choosing those things.  We need only to make those things available to the body, and the body does the rest.  Isn’t that simple?

Use your oils whenever you like, and trust that your body will choose whatever portions of each one that it needs at that particular time.  You “cannot do it wrong” when using TheCuraherbs’s essential oils.
