What Puts the Essential in Essential Oils?

Aromatherapy refers to the application of essential oils through skin absorption and your sense of smell. Special body oils, creams, candles, and diffusers can be used to introduce the essential oils into your system, depending on what you are most comfortable using. Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants that capture the plant’s scent and flavor, each of which is unique to the plant’s aromatic essence. This is why eucalyptus essential oils smell and act differently than rosemary essential oils; the oils themselves are characteristic of the plant they were distilled from. The application of aromatherapy is increasingly instrumental to us because it uses the medicinal attributes of essential oils to relax and subdue discomfort. The emotional, mental, and physical prosperity of those who use aromatherapy tends to advance as they grow progressively accustomed to the essential oils they enjoy. The already vast universe of aromatherapy is only expanding. To date, there are more than 90 essential oils for you to choose from in order to find the best aromatic fit for your lifestyle!

With so many essential oils to choose from, it can be a bit overwhelming. Don’t panic! We can assure you that when you’ve finished reading this article, you will have a stronger understanding of essential oils and how they might be a solution to your particular situation. Like with any crucial decision, it’s always a great idea to do research beforehand, so allow us to be of service by highlighting some of our favorite essential oils and exploring their valuable effects:

• Lavender is one of the more popular and widely known essential oils. Most people use this subtle oil to relax and sleep, but lavender is equally useful in alleviating headaches.

• Rose is a saccharine, floral essential oil that has been shown to reduce anxiety. The rose essential oils contain antioxidants that treat acne, giving your face a younger look. Seriously, who doesn’t want to look younger? We bet the Kardashians have an endless supply of this beloved nectar of the gods.

• Ylang ylang offers a spicy and sweet aroma that has been associated with relaxation and confidence boosting. To boot, ylang ylang is found in a number of cosmetics and beauty products because of its gentle treatment of delicate skin and its positive effects on hair growth.

• Myrrh isn’t just one of the three gifts from the Wise Men. Most people use myrrh essential oils to combat acne and dry skin. It is likewise capable of treating that ever-elusive athlete’s foot, making it the ideal essential oil for the athlete always on the go!

As a matter of fact, there are a number of beauty and health perks associated with cedarwood. Notably, it has the ability to fight acne, treat eczema, and even reduce the presence of dandruff. Cedarwood has been shown to diminish the effects of arthritis and relieve intense coughing bouts.

Essential oils do far more than smell absolutely breathtaking. As you can deduce, many essential oils have earned their fame and popularity by aiding countless people for centuries upon centuries. We all know about lavender because at one point or another, each of us has struggled with falling asleep and have needed to use it for a good night’s rest.
