Essential Oils, I have used a small selection for years. First introduced to them by my midwife after having my first baby. I have used Camomille, Lavender, and Tea Tree frequently since this and I really like them all individually. Today I wanted to share 5 of the most frequently used Essential oils and how we can use them ourselves.
Essential Oils
- Bergamot – Known for creating a calmness after a stressful day. Can be diffused in a room or used in the shower to alleviate tension and also purify the skin.
- Clove – There are so many health benefits from using Clove Oil, I myself have used it for toothache. It can also be used for indigestion, coughs, asthma, headache and stress.
- Eucalyptus – Sinus Decongestant. Use Eucalyptus Oil to relieve sinus congestion by adding a few drops of the oil to hot water and inhaling the steam. Can also be used to control coughing fits, joint pain, and in disinfecting.
- Frankincense – Frankincense, can offer a variety of health benefits, including helping relieve chronic stress and anxiety, reducing pain and inflammation and to boost immunity
- Lavender – I use Lavender most nights on my pillow to aid sleep. Can be used to cleanse cuts and bruises.
Have you guys used Essential Oils? If so which?
I’ve never used essential oils on their own, but I do like products that have a lot of essential oils in the ingredients! I love Eucalyptus when I’m feeling poorly! xx
A few drops of Lavender in a warm bath is bliss, really calms you down and chills you out 🙂 x
