Essential oils are a concentrated base substance derived from plants and contain the essence of a particular cutting. There are a number of ways to extract a plant’s oil, including distillation and cold press. Once the process is complete, the fragrant oil ends up being stronger than the plant they were born into.
Plant essence has been used medically throughout history. Today, they are used in aromatherapy, which is a holistic practice that uses therapeutic application through scent.
Synthetic oils mimic the scent of real essential oils. These are not suitable for those who suffer from allergies or use for holistic manifestation. Essential oils are sacred in magic; use them to purify space and to bring a positive outcome, according to their properties, with all types of spells, from love to banishing. This is all due to their concentrated essence.
Before using any essential oils, do a patch test to determine if you are sensitive to its composition. Place a drop in your inner arm or back. If redness or any type of irritation develops, wash the area thoroughly and make a note that that particular oil is not safe for you to use.
I use many essential oils, especially in the bath because they are quick-acting and go straight to the intent I want to manifest. If you don’t have a bathtub, you can still use essential oils just as effectively with the bucket method.
Add a few drops of oil of your choosing to a white bucket. Take the bucket with you into the bathroom and leave it outside the shower. Take a shower as normal, then bring the bucket in with you, fill it up with warm water, and turn off the faucet. Then stand there naked, visualizing what you need from the Universe. Hold the bucket over your head and gently let the water run all over you.
Many grocery stores carry a small range of essential oils in the pharmacy product aisle, outer aisles, or the hygiene section. Some stores only carry the most popular oils, such as lavender and eucalyptus, or a mixed blend for relaxing and the like.
