Essential Oil Benefits

Recently, a dear friend gave me an assortment of essential oils and a diffuser. I had never experienced essential oils except when I treat myself to a massage. I have learned so much and very happy with this simple gift. I would like to share some of my knowledge with you. 

Using essential oils can be a beneficial and safe way to enhance your health. However, the same cannot always be said for those who use them incorrectly – adverse side effects are possible if you aren’t careful enough when applying this natural substance into our bodies! 

We recommend avoiding eating or drinking anything containing these aromatic compounds so that we don’t disrupt any medication being taken in addition with it .

The health and beauty benefits of essential oils are undeniable. They can be used in a variety of ways to refresh yourself, soothe your skin or hair with ease – all while being good for you! Essential oils smell great, reduce stress, treat fungal infections, and help you sleep. They are concentrated extractions from plants. A process called distillation turns the “essence” of a plant into a liquefied form for many medicinal and recreational uses. There’s a wide variety of essential oils available.

To use them safely, it is advised to use them with a diffuser. Or add a few drops to some distilled water and spray. Putting a couple of drops on your wrists, temples and feet feels good.

Some of the benefits are:

  1. Boost mood.
  2. Improve job performance through reduced stress and increased attentiveness.
  3. Improved sleep.
  4. Kill bacteria, funguses and viruses.
  5. Reduce anxiety and pain.
  6. Reduce inflammation.
  7. Relieve headaches.

The most common way to use essential oils is to inhale them, either directly out of the bottle or by using a diffuser or humidifier. Smelling an essential oil luxury candle is another way to enjoy the benefits from essential oils. You can also dilute essential oils with a carrier oil and apply it directly your skin. Or you can get creative and add the mixture to a body wash, shampoo, or bath.

We hope this short guide has revealed the benefits of using essential oils.

Until next time,
