Essential Olis are a huge part of my life. From the headaches to PMS symptoms, I don’t know where I would be without them. The older I get, the more interested in the natural methods of healing I get. Here are 7 oils and oil blends that everyone should have in their lives.
Lavender
Lavender is one of the most common oils. It’s really the end all be all of essential oils, with endless opportunities to implement in your daily routine. It’s most commonly used as a sleep aid, but lavender is also an amazing oil for anxiety due to its calming properties. Those with acne can also use lavender to help heal blemishes.
Peppermint
Peppermint is another common multipurpose oil. My favorite use for peppermint oil is its healing properties for headaches. All you have to do is put a drop on your thumb and press it to the roof of your mouth. However, only use certified therapeutic grade oils for internal use. Peppermint is also a great for upset stomachs.
Lemon
Lavender, Peppermint, and Lemon are the most common essential oils. Lemon is a great oil! It can be used for cleaning and disinfecting anything from the kitchen to the bathroom, to promote a positive mood, and to upgrade your drinking water. Lemon oil really is the all-purpose oil.
Clary Sage
Clary Sage is an oil that every girl should own. Its calming properties help promote healthy hormonal functions in women. It is also a good oil to add to shampoo to give you a healthy scalp and strong hair. Like lavender, Clary Sage is one of the oils that promote sleep and relaxation.
Clary Calm
Clary Calm is a Proprietary Blend from Doterra, a popular essential oil brand. It’s used to soothe PMS symptoms and settle emotions. Used regularly, it can greatly improve moods. This blend is a staple for me every month; It smells amazing and helps my periods to be a bit more bearable.
Past Tense
Past Tense is also a Doterra Proprietary Blend. I can’t even count the number of times this blend has helped calm my anxiety. I would recommend this oil to anyone that suffers from stress or tension.
Melaleuca (Tea Tree)
Melaleuca or tea tree oil is an amazing oil for healing. I have switched from using antibiotic ointments on cuts to using a few drops of melaleuca, and I feel it heals wounds faster. This oil can also be used to treat acne. Place some drops of this oil in your facewash and your skin will be clear and glowing.
These oils have all improved my life, and I know they can help yours too! Once you start using them, you know why they’re called essential.
