Aromas have powerful, immediate impacts on our states of consciousness and our wellbeing. While chemical fragrances are toxic and create unnatural, lingering odors, essential oils provide us a plethora of natural scents with emotional and physiological benefits.
Pressed from pure plants, flowers, barks, fruits and leaves, essential oils are incredibly dense and potent. You can find therapeutic grade brands at your local health food store or online and no shortage of uses. Here are 17 fabulous ways to incorporate essential oils into your life.
1. Inhale lavender, chamomile or clary sage to help you relax. Try cinnamon to help you focus and citrus scents to energize.
2. Use lemon, grapefruit, cinnamon or peppermint for an energy and mood lift.
3. Dab peppermint on your temples to help relieve headaches.
