Essential oils have become popular recently. Although some people believe that essential oils don’t really do anything beneficial, it is proven that they have a lot of great benefits! There are a lot of essential oils to choose from, but we will give four essential oils that you can use every day and what they can do for you and your body.
1. Lavender Oil
Lavender oil can help promote calmness, can reduce stress and better sleep habits. It is also believed that lavender can help with digestion, support skin health and promote hair growth. Just the amazing smell of lavender is nice to have in your home at all times!
2. Lemon Essential Oil
Lemon has natural antiviral, antibacterial and antihistamine properties, which makes this essential oil a great natural cleaner! Lemon essential oil is great for making your own cleaning product since it has an awesome scent and it kills bacteria. You can also use it for wounds and insect bites (just remember that if you apply lemon oil in your skin, it can increase sun sensitivity). This oil is also great for promoting hair growth, just drop a few drops in your shampoo!
3. Oregano Oil
Oregano has a lot of health benefits! You can place it on your sore muscles as it helps speed up the recovery. Oregano oil is a very powerful oil, so it should always be diluted with water before applying to the skin. This oil can also be used to get rid of athlete’s foot, warts and ring worm.
4. Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil is very interesting, because just sniffing this oil can increase your concentration and focus. It is a great oil to have while at work since we all need a little brain boost during the day. It can be used for upset stomachs and even for neck pain or headaches.
