Essential oils have been around for a very long time… however over the past couple of decades have made a grand entry into the holistic health space, helping improve general well-being.
Essential oils in their highest quality state are 100% pure and natural… which is why so many people who are interested in using holistic methods of care for their health, have preferred to move away from the abundance of toxic chemicals filling their world, and replace them with these natural alternatives.
Essential oils come packed with tons of health benefits, and depending on which oil you’re using for whatever reason, you could receive multiple health benefits at once!
It has been estimated that 40% of people utilise aromatherapy with essential oils to relieve stress and anxiety, according to Healthline.
Additionally, in the ‘90s, some studies found that dabbing a peppermint oil and carrier oil mixture on participants’ foreheads relieved the pain of headaches and migraines. More recent studies have confirmed this, and shown a lavender oil mixture to also be helpful.
Inhaling the scent of lavender oil, in particular, can also help aid sleep and prevent insomnia.
One review examined 15 studies performed on this matter, showcasing that smelling the oils (and, in this case, mostly lavender oil) had positive effects on sleep habits.
Oils may also help reduce inflammatory conditions. The use of thyme and oregano essential oils in particular have proven helpful.
People use essential oils for cleaning products, scenting their homes, and even freshening up their laundry.
Many traditional cleaning products in-store contain harmful chemicals, whereas engaging in the use of essential oils for cleaning drastically changes how your body responds to chemicals (because there aren’t any!).
The Bottom Line
Essential oils are fast becoming an important tool of the future, for those interested in holistic living.
They have been proven time and time again to improve your well-being and general lifestyle. Investing in them will help transform your life – through nurturing and supporting your mind, body, and soul to be the healthiest they can be.
