9 Essential Oils for Your Everyday Health

[Guest guest]

Frankincense

 

Frankincense is considered a holy anointing oil in the Middle East, where it has

been used by nearly every ancient culture for thousands of years. When rubbed on

the chest, its sweet, warm balsamic aroma soothes the respiratory system.

Breathing Frankincense can also be beneficial for memory function thanks to its

highly oxygenating molecules. To create an exotic scent in your home, combine

frankincense and lemon in your diffuser. You'll enjoy an unforgettable fragrance

while eliminating unwanted airborne germs. And for timeless skin, use a few

drops in your facial moisturizer.

Lemon

 

Lemon essential oil has a pleasant, purifying citrus scent that is revitalizing

and uplifting. Lemon is great for removing household stains, disinfecting

countertops, and even refreshing your laundry. Its powerful germ fighting

constituents match lemon's pleasant aroma. Diffuse Lemon Oil to protect your

home form airborne bacteria and put a drop in your drinking water for both extra

vitamin C and to keep your liver clean.

Peppermint

 

Peppermint oil is one of the most highly regarded oils for supporting digestion

— just rub a drop on your abdomen, or put a drop in a glass of water. For fever

relief, place a drop of peppermint on the back of your neck and a few drops on

the bottom of each foot and then breathe in the remaining oil on your hands.

Are you experiencing discomfort from an injury? Rub a few drops of peppermint

directly onto the injured location. At the onset of a headache, rub a few drops

on your temples, forehead and back of the neck.

Lavender

 

With its fresh, floral scent, Lavender is considered the most universal of all

essential oils. Therapeutic-grade lavender oil is highly regarded as a skin and

beauty tonic. Not only is it helpful for facial blemishes, but it can also be

used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises, and skin irritations. Lavender

helps the body to relax and enter a deep sleep when rubbed on the bottoms of the

feet or inhaled at bedtime. It can also offer relief to sore muscles and muscle

spasms.

Peace and Calming (oil blend)

 

Containing tangerine, ylang ylang, blue tansy, orange and patchouli, this blend

is a must for anyone experiencing stress in their life. Peace & Calming contains

properties that relax the mind and calm the body. Diffusing it into your air is

a favorite for many people. To calm hyperactive children on a road trip, mix

Peace and Calming and water and spray into the car. For a good night sleep, rub

along your spine and on the bottom of your feet. A few drops under the nostrils

will also help with snoring.

Panaway (oil blend)

 

Gary Young created PanAway after a severe injury to the ligaments in his leg.

This proprietary blend of soothing essential oils contains wintergreen, clove,

peppermint, and helichrysum and can help ease bone, muscle, and joint discomfort

when rubbed on the affected area. To alleviate head pressure, rub a drop on the

temples, forehead, and back of the neck. Massage 3-4 drops along the base of the

spine to sooth a sore back.

Thieves (oil blend)

 

Based on the historical account of four thieves in France who protected

themselves with clove, rosemary, and other aromatic plants while robbing victims

during the black plague, the Thieves blend is a powerhouse for your body's

defense system.

 

To eliminate deadly airborne bacteria, diffuse in 15-minute increments into the

air of your home. Rubbed topically on the bottoms of your feet, this blend helps

keep your inner defense system in peak condition. A drop in a teaspoon of honey

can be very soothing for a scratchy throat. Gargling one drop in an ounce of

water can help eliminate germs that cause throat infections.

Purification (oil blend)

 

Purification contains citronella, rosemary, lemongrass, lavandin, melaleuca

alternifolia; and myrtle. It is one of the most cost-effective germ busting

blends for your home. Easily replace moldy, musty and stale smells in an office,

car or hotel room with this uplifting scent- just put a drop of Purification on

a cotton ball and place it in the air vent. Purification is also a powerful

insect repellent and soothes insect bites, cuts and scrapes

Valor (oil blend)

 

When applied to the feet, spine and neck, this blend of spruce, blue tansy,

rosewood and frankincense supports the muscular skeletal system of the body.

Valor has gained respect from chiropractors, who find it beneficial when applied

on a client before and after an adjustment. Valor has been known to help those

who suffer from stage fright, anxiety, and extreme tension, by rubbing few drops

onto the hands and breathing deeply. To create a deeper sleep, rub on the

bottoms of your feet before bed.
