* Clove, Lemongrass, Mountain Savory, Oregano, Peppermint, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, and Wintergreen are oils that you will want to dilute with an equivalent amount of a quality vegetable oil.
This essential oil use chart addresses the most common health issues any family may face. Although it is comprehensive, it by no means covers all the possibilities regarding essential oil uses.
There are other oils that can be used for many of these
conditions, and there are other conditions that could be mentioned as well.
For an excellent reference that goes beyond this chart and gives
further information about essential oils and their uses, I recommend the Essential Oils Desk Reference (4th edition) or the Reference Guide to Essential Oils.
An ideal way to get started
with essential oils is with Young Living's Everyday Oil Kit. This kit
includes the basic oils needed to address everyday issues, many of which are
mentioned in the Essential Oil Use Chart above.
