ESSENTIAL OILS
+ COOKING KIT
Welcome to savouring a new world...
Incorporating oils into your cooking does a number a wonderful things, such as enhancing flavour, providing health benefits of the constituents in the herb/spice and they're convenient!!
Because do TERRA oils are tested and retested for their consumption safety, you can trust their use internally just as you do aromatically + topically.
Since doTERRA oils are highly concentrated, you really only need a 1-2 drops to gain the taste and full benefit of them, so your oils will keep. In fact, the essential oil is about 50x more powerful than the herb!
You'll lose a bit of the health power in oils when you heat them through cooking, so it's ideal if you can stir in the oils once the cooking part is done.
One of the easiest ways to receive internal benefits of essential oils is by flavouring your water! Just make sure to use a glass or stainless steel drinking container.
Citrus oils are a beautiful option to add to your water, as they contain high levels of limonene. You can read more about the benefits of limonene here.
Some examples include:
Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Wild Orange, Tangerine,Peppermint + Green Mandarin
There are some ways you can incorporate essential oils into your cooking: smoothies, coffee + tea, dressings, sauces + marinades and yogurts (great way to flavour unsweetened yogurt and avoid sugar!)
