Essential oils are aromatic compounds with
therapeutic properties. Their benefits are in multitudes,
besides helping us fight common colds, stress, anxiety,
skin issues, acne, hair problems, they also work
wonderfully as aromatic fragrances or in diffusers.
Regularly using essential oils can nourish dry skin,
promote healthy hair, and keep your face looking
vibrant.
Tips on how to find a good essential oil:
- Look out for oils that contain only aromatic plant
compounds, without additives or synthetic oils.
- Pure oils usually list the plant’s botanical name.
- True essential oils do not change by the extraction
process.
- Choose an essential oil that has been extracted
through distillation or mechanical cold pressing.
PRO TIP: Try using a blend of Vetiver, chamomile, and
lavender — for stress. The aroma for this blend will
leave you relaxed and restored. Or try applying
peppermint and lavender oil to the skin for headache.
However, like most products today essential oils too
can be easily adulterated.
