Essential Goodness | 150 Ways To Use Essential Oils

Introduction

Plants are amazing things. Not only do they
provide us with necessities like food and oxygen,
but they enhance our lives with their beauty,
healing benefits and captivating aromas.

Essential oils are the most concentrated
forms of plants that have been cultivated
and monitored to reach peak perfection. The
oil is meticulously separated from the plant
using methods that keep optimum therapeutic
benefits intact.

At Edens Garden, we’re passionate about our
third-party GC/MS tested, 100% pure oils, and
our 150 Ways To Use Essential Oils e-book is
one way of sharing that passion with you. Filled
with our favorite recipes and tips, this e-book is
a wonderful resource to get you started on your
essential oil journey or to reignite your love of
aromatherapy. We hope each recipe teaches
you something new about essential oils and
enhances your life on a daily basis.

Blessings,

Grace Martin
Founder & CEO

Essential Oils For Beginners

Essential oils are plant essences that are obtained through
methods such as steam distillation, cold pressing, solvent
extraction and CO2 extraction. They contain the aromas and
therapeutic benefits of the plants they were obtained from.
Studies show that essential oils can help improve sleep, reduce
pain, ease stress, detox, heal skin, kill bacteria and more.

How to Dilute Essential Oils

Our single essential oils and synergy blends are 100% pure.
Before topical use, dilute with a skin-nourishing carrier oil.
Unlike essential oils, carrier oils are made of moisturizing fatty
acids which help to safely and effectively deliver the benefits
of essential oils to the skin.

Child Safety

A 1% dilution rate is recommended for children 2+. We do
not recommend the use of essential oils on children under
the age of 2, unless consulting with a pediatrician or an
aromatherapist. Active diffusers should be used for 15-20
minutes. If in doubt about the safety of an oil, our OK For Kids
line was specifically formulated to be safe and effective for
kids 2+.

Pregnancy & Nursing

Essential oils can be a natural, soothing way to ease emotional
and physical discomfort during pregnancy and while nursing,
but we recommend holding off usage until the second
trimester. Because of their efficacy, just a few drops of
essential oil goes a long way. A 1% dilution is recommended
for topical use. With safety in mind, check with your doctor
before using essential oils if pregnant or nursing.

The Roots of Edens Garden

"Edens Garden has come a long way since I started it at my home in 2009. As a
women-led, family-owned and faith-based company, we’ve worked with passion
and intention to help others find more goodness, selling more than 10 million
bottles of essential oils worldwide and giving back to charities making a difference.

My journey with essential oils started years ago, while on a mission trip in New
Zealand. I would explore the island, picking flowers and plants and pressing them
in books to share with friends. Incredibly pure, clean, and fresh, I learned that
essential oils offer that same refreshing and captivating experience of nature, and I
again wanted to share that sense of calm.

When I founded Edens Garden, I didn’t have a big investor or huge staff but my
goal was to share high-quality, affordable essential oils. The medicinal and healing
qualities of essential oils are a reminder that God gave us everything we need
for wholeness and health on this earth, and I wanted more people to be able to
experience that.

The name “Edens Garden” is in honor of the Garden of Eden from The Bible: the
most natural, pure place. Edens Garden’s offerings would reflect that beauty and
purity. Those values have been foundational. We don’t compromise quality. We
offer the best oils at accessible prices. We are transparent about our sourcing and
process. We guide with education. We never take the shortcut."

Ways To Diffuse Essential Oils

At Edens Garden, we have a variety of diffusers to suit your
needs. With so many options, which EG diffuser do you choose?

Active Diffusers

Active diffusers use a stimulus such as
electricity, ultrasonic vibrations, air flow, etc.
to emit essential oils. These diffusers offer an
intense aroma output.

Passive Diffusers

A passive diffuser naturally emits essential
oils without any help from a stimulus. These
diffusers generally offer a less intense aroma
output.

How to Blend Essential Oils

Blending Therapeutically

With just a few drops, you can create a perfect harmony of
essential oils for physical or emotional purposes. Keep in mind
each oil's natural characteristics and therapeutic properties as
you fomulate your natural remedy. Start small and remember
it's okay to keep it simple while you practice. If you're creating
a sleep blend, start with well-known sleep essential oils like
Lavender or Chamomile and build from there. You'll be at
expert level in no time.

Blending Aromatically

Use the drop-by-drop technique to create the perfect aroma.
Start with one drop of each of your oils, then build on this
foundation by adding more drops of each oil until you’ve
reached perfection. Check the details section of single oils’
product pages to find out which oils blend well together.
