Whether you’re looking to enhance your crystal work, further your aromatherapy studies, or just try something different, combining essential oils with healing stones can help you on your spiritual journey.
Essential oils are an efficient way to stimulate your senses and even relieve stress and worry. Healing crystals engage with your energies and allow your chakras and your environment to maintain equilibrium.
Connecting with your higher self and becoming more in tune with your senses has never been easier.
Let’s take a look at how you can advance your wellness adventure with crystals and essential oils…
Why Combine Crystals and Essential Oils?
Essential oils are used for all sorts of things and their benefits are quite extensive. Primarily, these oils are used for aromatherapy and act as antioxidants and anti-fungal treatments, as well as pain, depression, and anxiety relievers.
Not only do essential oils work wonders for elevating mood but they also activate our olfactory system, which is where our sense of smell comes from.
There are an abundance of different essential oils for all sorts of different purposes. Some common oils like lavender can be used for stress relief while peppermint aids in digestion or an energy boost!
Of course, if we are going to talk about healing energies, we should talk about crystals. Just like essential oils, healing stones come in many varieties, most of which work to expel negativity and promote positive vibrations.
Crystals are used as an alternative healing technique; they can work in many different ways but they assist us mentally, physically and spiritually.
A Powerful Duo
When we combine crystals and essential oils, we take our spiritual practices to another level. Whether it’s yoga, meditation, or simply wearing crystal jewelry, the union is powerful.
Adding oil to your crystals when used in meditation adds an energy boost to your practice. Yoga and aromatherapy work really well together too. Both enhance and amplify each other’s healing properties.
When used together healing stones and essential oils are the one stop shop for your metaphysical experience. They are both naturally-found resources, which make them an unbeatable duo.
With so many easy ways to combine the two, how could you not explore their powers?
Ignite Your Senses
Incorporating both into your practice really opens up all the senses; smell, touch, sight, and even taste and hearing, in some cases. And boosting your senses with essential oils and crystals is a sure fire way to amplify your meditation practice, or any experience for that matter.
In aromatherapy, essential oils are inhaled and perceived by the olfactory system. Like a lock and key, the nose is the lock and these oils are the key. When the lock or nose is activated, it triggers instincts and emotional and hormonal responses.
Imagine you’re at a hotel or spa and there is a specific smell. These scents are used to prompt good feelings and memories to associate with those smells.
When we combine these oils with crystals during our spiritual practices, like yoga, we heighten all of these senses. Yoga is the practice of breathing and body movement with thought and intention. Add some yummy essential oils and you’ve effortlessly activated your senses.
Fun, Fun, Fun
Trying new things should be fun! Crystals and essential oils are an easy combo that doesn’t break the bank. They are both natural solutions so you can be environmentally conscious too!
There are basically endless possibilities when it comes to how to use these tools. You can try different pairings depending on your personal taste.
Experimenting with different combinations also gets you to learn a little more about yourself. Maybe you experience different sensations to different essential oils when used with a crystal.
And this doesn’t have to be just something you do for yourself. Why not make a crystal infused essential oil spray to give as a gift? It’s cute, thoughtful, and homemade, which makes it all the more meaningful!
Ways to Use Them Together
With a nearly endless list of healing crystals to choose from and an equally long list of essential oils, the possibilities of using them together is pretty much limitless.

No diffuser? No problem. Simply uncapping the essential oil bottle and keeping it near you while you hold your crystal can work as…
