I am very new to the Aromatherapy, essential oil's and am wanting to know how often to do the Aromatherapy, essential oil's? Do I do so on a daily basis? If so how long on a daily basis? Thank you.

I'm mainly concerned about how long about for example 15, 30, or 45 minutes If you are looking to be exact.

I use them at night when I'm relaxing watching TV.

That's a very broad question. It depends on what you are using the essential oil for and what oil or oils you are using. If you are using Young Living's Peace and Calming oil to calm yourself, you can inhale directly from the bottle a few times a day holding the bottle a couple of inches below your nose. If you are using it to calm a group of people, put it in a diffuser and run it about 10 minutes of every hour.

If you're using peppermint oil to ease a headache, you can apply a drop or two directly to the temples and the base of the back of the head two times a day. You would also want to inhale it at the same time. If you are using the same oil to ease nausea, you would apply it to your abdomen 50/50 with some massage oil or lotion.

Frankincense oil is recommended to balance emotional swings. Again, inhaling a couple of times a day should be enough.

If you're looking to ease respiratory congestion, put a couple of drops of Eucalyptus and Thieves in a pot of hot water and inhale the steam created.

Pick up a book on essential oils (Young Living has published one) and read the detailed oil applications associated with different conditions. There is no one, simple rule.

If you have no oils yet, start with Lavendar and Peppermint oil. They are relatively inexpensive and very versatile.

depends on what you are using them for.
essential oils give temporary relief to a great range of things.

personally i use them only when i feel like it. eg. if i'm feeling stressed, sick, sad, sore ect.

as they are temporary, use them daily or less.
it's a very personal choice about how often YOU like to use them, go by how you feel.

with trial and error you'll find what feels right
enjoy them xx

I consider it to be quackery, without value. But pain management is always problematic, so if it works for you, go for it as often as you please.
