Versatile, Popular Essential Oils

Whether you prefer essential oils in aromatherapy massages or as diffused scents in your home, it’s easy to incorporate these natural oils into your routine. Here is a list of popular oils and the benefits they offer:

  • Associated with getting a good night’s sleep, chamomile is also effective for treating skin problems and improving digestion.
  • Lavender has a reputation as an essential oil with the most healing benefits. This essential oil is recommended for treating nervousness, anxiety, sleep issues, skin problems, body pain, and poor digestion.
  • Extracted from the fruit’s peel, lemon oil stimulates the nervous system, detoxifies the body, soothes a sore throat, and improves liver functionality. Its fresh scent and natural ability to cut through grease makes lemon oil a popular choice for cleaning products.
  • Peppermint oil comes from the leaves of the peppermint plant and is a favorite choice for muscle rubs and aromatherapy massages. It’s also effective when inhaled and is shown to reduce negative thoughts and boost alertness.
  • Tea tree oil or melaleuca is used to treat fungal infections and dental problems as well as to boost immunity. A natural antiseptic, tea tree oil is useful for acne and skin rashes.
