ESSENTIAL OILS

to Cleanse and Rejuvenate Both Your Body & Home

1. Frankincense Oil:

It is believed that frankincense oil will transmit messages to the limbic system of the brain, which is known to influence the nervous system. Frankincense oil will immediately induce the feeling of peace, relaxation and satisfaction. Some people believe that the fragrance of frankincense can increase your intuition and spiritual connection.

Frankincense essential oil is a powerful astringent, meaning it helps protect skin cells. It can be used to help reduce acne blemishes, the appearance of large pores, prevent wrinkles, and even help lift and tighten skin to naturally slow signs of aging. It may also help reduce the appearance of dark spots, stretch marks, eczema and help with healing of surgical wounds.

Lastly, to improve circulation and lower symptoms of joint pain or muscle pain related to conditions like arthritis, digestive disorders, and asthma, try massaging frankincense oil to the painful area or diffusing it in your home.

2. Lavender Oil:

Traditionally, lavender has been used to treat neurological issues like migraines, stress, anxiety and depression. A study published by the International Journal of Psychiatry in Clinical Practice found that supplementing with 80 milligram capsules of lavender essential oil alleviates anxiety, sleep disturbance and depression.

According to a study published in the European Journal of Neurology, people struggling with migraine headaches saw a significant reduction in pain when they inhaled lavender oil for 15 minutes. Probably the most effective natural treatment for headaches is combining lavender oil with peppermint oil and rubbing these oils on the back of the neck, the temples on the lateral side of the forehead, along with inhaling it.

Most likely due to its antimicrobial and antioxidant characteristics, lavender essential mixed with aloe or coconut oil has profound benefits on your skin. Just 10 drops per 1 ounce of aloe vera or oil will sooth the worst sunburn and bring rapid soothe to dry skin, minor cuts and scrapes.

3. Peppermint Oil:

Peppermint essential oil is a very effective natural painkiller and muscle relaxant. It's especially helpful in soothing an aching back, sore muscles, and melting away a tension headache. For a nontoxic alternative to dangerous energy drinks, take a few whiffs of peppermint. It will perk you up on long road trips, in school or any other time you need to "burn the midnight oil." Tried and true for well over 1,000 years, peppermint has been used to naturally freshen breath. According to studies, peppermint oil performed better than the mouthwash chemical chlorhexidine for reducing cavities.

4. Melaleuca (Tea-Tree Oil):

To date, 327 scientific studies refer to tea tree oil's antimicrobial prowess alone. As a result, tea tree oil can kill off bad bacteria in your home. To make a homemade tea tree oil cleaner, mix with water, vinegar and lemon essential oil. One of the most common uses for tea tree oil today is in skin care products. One study found tea tree oil to be just as effective as benzoyl peroxide, but without the negative side effects of red and peeling skin. Tea tree oil can also help relieve any type of skin inflammation, including being used as a natural eczema or psoriasis treatment.
