Readily Accepted by Our Body

•Essential oils have a chemical structure that is similar to human cells and tissues

•This makes essential oils compatible with human protein and enables them to be readily identified and accepted by our body


Ingesting / Cautions

•Remember only use tested therapeutic essential oils, my personal use is only dōTERRA

•Also remember not all dōTERRA oils are ingestible eg. Breathe/Easy Air

•Caution: if feeding a pregnant woman, or child make sure to use dosage of those oils for them or depending on how diluted recipe most recipes ok because so extremely diluted anyway


Benefits

• Incredible flavour with health benefits

•Super concentrated

•Easy way to incorporate their healthful benefits throughout the day


Benefits - Herbs

•Sometimes the essential oils provide different flavoursthan using fresh herbs

•Fresh herbs can be difficult to obtain all year so essential oils

•Can be more cost effective than fresh or dried herbs in the long run because a small amount is needed and oils last longer


How Much do I Substitute?

•Simple answer varies

•Application method key


Application Methods

•Toothpick Dip• Easiest way to control quantity

•Toothpick Swirl• Drag toothpick (swirl) through the dish

•Drop from bottle• Can get more than you want

•Droppers• You can control but have to clean droppers all the time

•Drip on a utensil first then pull from there with knife tip


Substituting Oils for Herbs

•Substitute an oil for a herb to increase the health benefits and increase the flavour

•½ tsp 1 ½ tsp. 2-3 toothpick swirls dried herbs = fresh herbs = essential oil

•1 tsp 1 tbsp. 1 drop dried herbs = fresh herbs = essential oil


Substituting Oils for Citrus

•1 tsp = 1/8 tsp = 16 dropslemon extract lemon

essential oil

•1 tbsp = 1/16 tsp = 8 dropslemon zest lemon

essential oil


General Rule of Thumbs

• If it isn’t a citrus essential oil use a toothpick or utensil method so you can control it

•Baking requires more oils than cooking


Toothpick Method

•For stronger spice oils – such as • Basil• Cassia• Cinnamon*• Marjoram• Oregano*• Rosemary

• Thyme*

• Dip a toothpick in a bottle of essential oil and stir through food• * strongest


If at End of Cooking - Tips

•Smaller amounts are needed if added at the end of cooking

•Herbed essential oils tend to evaporate under heat so betterto addtowards the end of cooking or as food is cooling


Gets Stronger when Steeps

•Remember: If you are preparing something that will sit in the fridge for a day or two before you eat or drink it the flavour will get stronger


When Baking - Tips

•Mix the essential oil with whatever liquid (not water) is used in the recipe so that it binds to something – distributes through recipe better• If you just add the drops into the mixture as a whole it doesn’t

flavour as strongly• Eg. If making muffins as

you have vegetable oil or almond milk add theessential oils to that and then mix


Oil Substitution Guideline – Citrus Oils

•Typically, 1 drop of a citrus oil can substitute for 1 tsp. of citrus zest

•So if recipe asks for the zest of 1 citrus fruit, you can use 3-10 drops of essential oil


Oil Substitution Guideline – Minty Oils

•Peppermint or Spearmint

•1 tsp. = 1 tbsp. = 2 dropdried fresh mint oilmint leaves mint leaves


Oil Substitution Guideline –Cinnamon/Cassia

•Cinnamon and Cassia very similar, typically what we know as ground Cinnamon is really ground Cassia

•Start by substituting –

•1 drop of Cinnamon Bark for 1-2 tbsp. ground cinnamon

•1 drop of Cassia for 1 tsp. ground cinnamon or cassia


Oil Substitution Guideline – Floral

•Toothpick Method

•Lavender

• Just because flavour is uncommon for many
