My FAVORITE Essential Oils

     Essential Oils seems to be the new buzzword, however, I’ve been using Essential Oils for the last five years. Essential Oils have been around for a very long time. They have been used in all sorts of natural remedies and recipes over time. I have a ton of essential oils that I really like and some that I really love. I’m going to be sharing just a few of the oils that I absolutely love!

     Always, always, always know what kind of oils you are using and how to use them. I have done my research and I trust the Young Living brand. Do not just read this and go with Young Living Essential Oils. Research for yourself and do what is best for you.

1. Lavender

     First up is Lavender! Lavender is the go-to oil that can help an assortment of things. My favorite use is to diffuse it while I sleep. Lavender helps promote calmness and relaxation. I also keep this around for when I’m feeling anxious. I will put a drop in my hands and just breathe in the scent when I’m feeling a little worried or anxious. You can use Lavender for a myriad of things, but make sure that you research the best way to use Lavender for yourself. 

2. Cedarwood

     Cedarwood smells amazing! This is one of those oils that helps promote good sleep and your husband will love it too! My husband is very picky about the oils I diffuse at night; if it smells funny then he would rather not have me diffuse them. I will use Cedarwood with other oils for an amazing diffuser blend, but usually only use it for sleep.

3. Peppermint

     I take Peppermint with me wherever I go. This is one of the first oils I tried and I go back to it all the time. I love the smell of Peppermint of course! Peppermint helps subside my headaches, you can use it as a breath refresher, it helps enhance focus, and can wake you up. Yay for Peppermint! 

4. Thieves

     This oil is from Young Living Essential Oils and I love it. Thieves Essential Oil is used for antibacterial and immune boosting purposes. They make this as an essential oil blend, a roll-on, laundry detergent, all-purpose cleaner, dish soap, hand soap, etc. Thieves is an amazing all-natural cleaning product that you can trust. I use Thieves everywhere in my house because I know I can trust this product around my family. I also love to diffuse this oil (it smells like Christmas) in our living room/kitchen area to help purify our air. 

5. Deep Relief Roll-On

     This last oil is called Deep Relief, and it comes in a roller bottle. Deep Relief can help with tight muscles and muscle pain. If I’m having a very bad headache, I will usually apply peppermint oil, and then apply deep relief to my neck. A lot of my headaches are from stress and that causes my neck and shoulders to hurt as well as my head. Some essential oils react differently to different people so make sure you do your research before trying essential oils.

     This barely scratches the surface of the essential oils that I love and use, however, this is a good place to start if you are looking at getting into essential oils.
