by Limpho Nonkonyane
PEXELS

Essential oils are meant to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being by elevating mood through their aromatic properties.

With the various number of essential oils that one can use, the importance of knowing which one works for you can help. Traditional medicine has relied on the benefits of these potent plant extracts for hundreds of years, as these extracts have gained popularity in modern holistic health practices.

Holistic hub Taking Charge provides ways that you can choose to apply essential oils:

  1. Choose an essential oil that involves topical absorption.
  2. Inhale essential oils to work faster.
  3. Take baths.

According to the hub Healthline, essential oils have a wealth of proven health benefits, adding that the versatility and affordability they offer have ways of improving your health. Essential oils can be used to relieve congestion, promote healthy sleep patterns, as well as boost your mood.

The above-mentioned source gives us an explanation of what the following essentials can do:

  • Lavender oil: This oil can be used for calming emotions and physical concerns such as minor skin injuries, cramping, and sinus congestion.
  • Tea tree oil:  Tea tree oil is commonly used in most skincare routines as it helps treat acne, nail fungus, and warts.
  • Peppermint oil: Relieves nausea and improves brain function.
  • Orange oil: Orange oil may alleviate anxiety and stress. 
  • Lemon oil:  This oil has antibacterial and antiviral properties, making it useful in treating skin conditions as well as boosting your immune system.
