How to Use Crystals With

Oils (+ a Complete Guide to
Crystals and Their Uses)

Updated September 2020

I am often asked how to use crystals and how to pair

them with essential oils, so this is a little guide to
help you get started! There’s lots of great
information in this post, but here’s this most
important thing to know: using crystals with
essential oils feels overwhelming, but only at Frst.
The more you practice, the more comfortable
you will feel using them!

(Psst–I’m Haylee, creator of Whimsy + Wellness and

mom of 3. You can learn more about my story here!)

Here’s what I’ll cover today:

Do crystals work?
How do crystals work?
What are crystals used for?
How do you activate crystals?
How long do crystals take to work?
Why use crystals with essential oils?
How to use crystals with oils (two steps)?
Crystals and their uses

Do Crystals Work?
Yes, but not in the way you might think! Using
crystals isn’t like popping an Advil to relieve a
headache. Instead, it’s about tapping into the innate
wisdom deep inside of you. Using crystals is about
helping our minds choose positivity and abundance
instead of negativity and scarcity.

How Do Crystals Work?

Many people believe in the healing energies of
crystals. Humans are made up of energies that are
constantly changing based on our moods, behaviors,
and even our surroundings. Crystals also give oK
energy–but because of their crystalline structure,
their energy is constant, not changing like ours.
Because of this, they can help us rebalance our own
energies.

What Are Crystals Used

For?
There are SO many beneFts of crystals. Here are just
a few:

Sleep
Anxiety and depression
Emotional ups and downs
Stress
Motivation and productivity
Abundance
Balance and calm
Emotional healing or protection from toxicity
or trauma
Increased resilience
Creativity
Communication and empathy

…and so much more!

How Do You Activate

Crystals?
You should buy your crystals only from reputable
sources–you don’t want crystals arriving with
negative energy. But even then, sometimes your
crystals needs a little energy recharge. Here’s how to
activate your crystal:

Leave it outside under a full moon, or outside

in full sun for a few hours
Place it on or near selenite, a cleansing crystal
Bury it in the earth overnight
Burn sage (called smoke cleansing or energy
cleansing) nearby

How Long Do Crystals

Take to Work?
If you’re open to using crystals, you might
experience some of their beneFts right away–or at
least feel their energy quickly. But to really beneFt
from crystals, you should pair them with intentions
and use them daily. After a few weeks of intentional,
sustained use, you’ll start to see your life shift!

Why Use Crystals With

Essential Oils?
I love learning how to use crystals with oils for a few
reasons. First, I love essential oils, and using crystals
with oils makes me want to use my oils even more!

Second, I love Fnding ways to use crystals and keep

them around daily, even if I’m too busy to meditate
or journal. I’m a mom and a business owner and I
need quick, easy, beautiful, and helpful!

Third, using crystals and essential oils are

synergistic–both are completely natural and part of
the earth’s ancient healing gifts. Each one is eKective
on its own; together, they’re incredibly powerful!

Finally, using crystals and oils together makes me

smile–we act like wellness needs to be a “thing,” but
honestly if it makes you smile, you’re winning!

How Do You Use Crystals

With Oils? (3 Easy Steps!)
Step 1: Choose Your Crystal
Many people believe that just by looking at crystals,
or picking them up and holding them, you will be
able to tell which ones your body needs because you
will be drawn to it. In other words–your body knows
what you need!

Once you choose one using this method, you can

research its beneFts by doing a quick google search
(crystal name + “healing properties”). Then, identify
why you were drawn to it by choosing the beneFt
that best Fts your current need.

(PS we’ve made this really easy for you–bookmark

this page and use the guide below to research the
crystals you’re interested in!)

Step 2: Choose an Oil

Once you’ve chosen your crystal and identiFed why
you need it, then you can choose an oil to pair with
it.

Understanding your desired end result after working

with the crystal and oils will give you the best results.
Having a reference guide for your essential oils is
also helpful at this stage since it will allow you to
look up your speciFc concern and then recommend
oils to use!

For example, if you chose amethyst as your crystal

and after researching, feel you need it for
conFdence, then look to your oils reference guide
and choose an oil(s) you would use for conFdence.

Step 3: Use Your Crystal and

Oil Together
You can diKuse your oils while you hold a crystal and
meditate with it, but I Fnd that the easiest way to
use crystals and oils together is to use a clear glass
essential oil roller bottle with crystals inside, or a
roller bottle with a gemstone roller top–or both!

I’ve even created gemstone roller bottles by feeling

and need.

Our Most Popular Crystals

and How to Use Them
Gemstones are crystals that are hard enough to be
cut and polished into perfectly round stones. Not all
crystals can be gemstones, so to make it easy, we’ve
listed out the best crystals for essential oils and
gemstone roller tops below!

You can learn more about which crystals might be

best for you and what you need, plus Fnd essential
oil pairing ideas. Learning how to use crystals with
oils is so much fun–enjoy yourself and listen to your
intuition, and you can’t go wrong!
