Essential oils and aromatherapy have a variety of natural health and wellbeing benefits. Here are a few of them:
For headaches: Peppermint, lavender, and rosemary are excellent essential oils for migraines and headaches.
For depression: Calming oils like Lavender, bergamot, and chamomile are great complementary essential oils you can use alongside your doctor-prescribed treatment.
For cold sores: Some essential oils such as tea tree and oregano are ideal for treating these painful blisters.
For insect bites: Anti-inflammatory essential oils like basil and mint are the key to fixing bug bites.
Essential oils and pregnant women do not always mix. Some are harmful and lack the basic testing to ensure they are safe for use without side effects or allergic reactions. However, others are ok so long as you stick to the recommended amounts and follow your doctor’s advice. Check out the product label for more detailed information, and this comprehensive guide has some useful advice too.
