Personally, I love using and diffusing essential oils! They help when I’m feeling anxious and stressed. My favorite oil is Lavender. I love the scent and it has several benefits including helping to relieve anxiety, insomnia, and it acts as an anti-inflammatory. I also love peppermint oil because it helps get rid of bad headaches! You can purchase a great roll on one called Peppermint halo from Saje for $16 (I promise you it’s worth it!). If you are wanting to get into essential oils, but don’t know much about them, I’ve provided a list of popular oils you can try. Each one is unique with different benefits so you can find the one that’s right for you!!

Each of these essential oils has its own unique benefits that can help provide you with relief or a natural scent. Personally, I love using my diffuser before I go to sleep or while I’m studying. It provides me with a calmness that helps me feel more peaceful and relaxed. I also wear an Aromatherapy bracelet that allows me to bring my essential oils on the go. Marshalls is a great place to find affordable essential oils, and if you are looking to splurge Saje has some really amazing ones!
