Because the variety of essential oils can feel overwhelming, it is often easiest to begin with a small selection of versatile oils and blends. F&M blend is often recommended as a useful all-round option for both children and adults, with topical and internal use where appropriate. It is also commonly used for things like bites, scars, and minor skin concerns. A simple starting point is to begin diffusing essential oils in your home, which helps you become familiar with them through inhalation. Good starter oils often include lavender, cedarwood, lemon, peppermint, frankincense, geranium rose, thieves, and neroli, along with pre-mixed diffuser blends.
