While a lot of people dismiss essential oils and other herbal supplements or remedies, they can actually be a very useful and cheap way to treat common problems. These are some of the most popular oils, ones you should be able to find online or in an organic grocery.
1. Chamomile
Oil with a calming effect, it’s also an anti-inflammatory — and it also makes an excellent tea. A lot of these oils will sound familiar because they’re already incorporated into your diet or lifestyle some other way. Why not give oils a try?
2. Passion Flower
Passion flower oil is used to calm nerves or induce sleep. Some people also claim this oil can also help with addiction by supporting the liver and the immune system, detoxifying and soothing the body.
3. Rosemary
To help beat fatigue, in case you skipped out on the passion flower oil and are now desperate for some sleep, try rosemary oil. It works by stimulating the nervous system and is also a go-to oil for asthma patients.
4. Apricot
For skin woes, fear no more! Apricot oil is here to clear up any blemishes and help with wrinkles and bags. It’s a super intense moisturizer, so don’t let the faint and sweet smell fool you into thinking it won’t work.
5. Jasmine
Where would this list be without everyone’s favorite aphrodisiac? But beyond that, jasmine oil is wonderful for boosting your vibes and making you more receptive to emotional cues others may be sending your way.
6. Eucalyptus
When you talk about essential oils, this one is truly essential. An astringent antibacterial oil that triples as bug repellent, eucalyptus oil is also great if you’re experiencing allergies, a cold, or pain from burns and cuts. Stock up!
7. Ginger Root
If your cramps have got you down, like so down you’re already loaded up on painkillers, then try smoothing on some ginger root essential oil to relax your muscles and ease the pain.
8. Lavender
Smell that? It’s all your stress, fading away, scared off by the gorgeous smell of a purple field of dreams in the springtime. It’s your headache, withering and dying off when it sees you take out that small bottle of oil. It’s your upset stomach, quieting down with the peacefulness brought on by lavender. Thank you, lavender.
