4 Essential Oils to Use Every Day for Better Health

 

Essential oils have increased in popularity recently. While they may be considered a fad by some, they do offer many great health benefits and are a wonderful natural way of better health. With so many essential oils to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. Here are four essential oils everyone should use daily for better health.

Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon has natural antibacterial, antiviral and antihistamine properties, making it a great natural cleaner. Lemon essential oil is great for making your own cleaning products since it helps kill bacteria and also gives off a great lemon scent. It can be used on insect bites or wounds. A few drops can even be added to your shampoo to invigorate your senses in the morning and stimulate hair growth. Just be aware that using lemon essential oil on the skin, such as in lotions, can increase sun sensitivity.

Peppermint Oil

Another useful essential oil to be used daily is peppermint oil. Just sniffing the 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.

Lavender Oil

Diffusing lavender oil can help reduce stress, and promote calmness and better sleep habits. Lavender has also been found to help digestion, promote hair growth, and even support skin health. Just the amazing smell of lavender is nice to have in your home at all times.

Oregano Oil

You may be familiar with oregano for when you are cooking Italian food, but oregano essential oil has even more health benefits. It is a powerful oil, and therefore it should always be diluted with water or coconut oil before applying to the skin. Diluting the oil with coconut oil and rubbing the mixture on sore muscles helps speed up the recovery of those muscles. Oregano oil can also be used to get rid of warts, athlete’s foot, and ring worm. It is also known for helping get rid of internal parasites.

Essential oils are a powerful tool to have for natural and healthy living. The best thing to remember when purchasing essential oils is that you want pure oils that are food grade. You also want to do your research more on how to use them and if they need to be mixed with a different oil, such as coconut oil, before applying them directly to the skin.
