Ways to Use Different Essential Oils

If you are new to using essential oils, you might be a little stuck on what each one of 
them does. Here is a simple guide that shows you the top essential oils and how to use 
them.

Roman Chamomile  First up is roman chamomile, which is the more common type of 
chamomile that is used. There is also German chamomile, but that isnt as good for 
healing properties. Roman chamomile is great for relieving muscle cramps, reducing 
stress and anxiety, and providing natural anti-inflammatory properties.

Peppermint  Peppermint essential oil is the most popular of the mint oil varieties, and 
has lots of benefits as well. You should use peppermint oil when you want better focus 
and to be more alert, have a burn on your skin, or are looking to get help with digestion 
or allergy problems. 

Frankincense  Next up is frankincense. This might have a silly name (often combined 
with myrrh), but it really does have amazing healing powers. With frankincense 
essential oil, use it to boost your immune system and help with skin conditions that 
cause inflammation.

Jasmine  Jasmine is a beautiful flower, but also a wonderful essential oil to add to 
your collection. It has a very sweet smell and is often combined with lavender, 
geranium, and rose essential oils. Use it when you want to relieve depression, reduce 
pain from childbirth, and help with tension.

Geranium  Geranium is another excellent essential oil you should use on a regular 
basis. With this essential oil, it is perfect for PMS and hormonal imbalance, especially 
when added to your bath for relieving those PMS symptoms. You can also use 
geranium for nerve pain. Geranium can be used as an aromatherapy oil in a diffuser or 
added to different body products.

Lavender  Lastly, there is lavender essential oil. This is best when you want stress or 
anxiety relief, to relax and unwind, or take a calming bath. Lavender can also be used 
for anti-inflammatory properties, as a natural deodorant, and to help with a cold or flu. 
This is good when added to your bath water, or when using it in a cream or lotion that is 
applied to your skin.

Experiment with your own blends in a diffuser or by using other oil methods. These are 
only some of the more popular oils, but there is a long list of essential oils to choose 
from.
