Essential oils have been used as natural remedies for centuries. Aromatherapy, a holistic healing method that uses fragrance to improve health, relies on these oils. They are compounds extracted from various plants and contain their scents and flavors. Therefore, essential oils are highly concentrated and have different healing abilities depending on the plants.
The Benefits of Essential Oils
Because their scent and flavor are distinct, the essential oils often have varied effects.
● Boost Energy
Some plants have refreshing smells, which could be irritating if the fragrance becomes too thick. The symbolic plant would be peppermint, whose invigorating scent can help you focus. Cinnamon and ginger root oil have similar effects in energizing and lifting mood.
● Reduce Stress and Anxiety
Unlike the stimulating oils mentioned above, some other oils are soothing and relaxing. For example, many studies have shown that lavender oil can calm people down, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality. Rose, sandalwood, and chamomile have similar comforting effects.
● Other uses
Some essential oils have antibacterial or antifungal functions. They may be used to eliminate pathogens, relieve pain, or reduce inflammation. More research is going on to determine their health applications.
How to Use Essential Oils
Since essential oils are very potent, you only need a few drops each time. You can diffuse them, rub on your skin, or ingest them depending on your needs.
● Diffusion
You can mix the essential oil with warm water and use a diffuser to disperse it so that you can enjoy its fragrance everywhere in the room. Alternatively, you can put a few drops of essential oil on a cotton ball and smell the aroma as it disperses. Or, if you want to save some effort, you can open the oil bottle and take a few deep breaths.
● Rubbing on the Skin
You can rub the essential oil on your skin because your skin can directly absorb it. However, you should dilute it with a carrier oil, such as coconut or jojoba oil, before applying it to the skin to prevent potential irritation or discomfort. Also, make sure you are not allergic to the type of oil. If you are able, find a massagist to do an essential oil massage on you. You will be amazed.
● Direct Ingestion
Some people take essential oils orally in teas, supplements, or even via a drop or two on their tongue. However, we do not recommend this unless you are under the direction of a trained herbalist. Some oils may hurt your mouth or stomach if you take the wrong dosage.
