Below you'll find a list of common essential oils and the affects that each one has on your mind and body. Typically, essentials oils have both physical as well as mental applications.

Because of their concentrated nature, essential oils generally should not be applied directly to the skin in their undiluted form. Some oils can cause severe irritation and even provoke an allergic reaction. To prevent this, always blend essential oils with vegetable-based "carrier" oil before applying to your skin. Some common carrier or base oils include olive, almond, hazelnut and grapeseed. The above list of essential oils and their uses is certainly not exhaustive and the ones mentioned here have healing properties not listed. Also, there are many, many more essential oils available that aid in healing. This is a basic list of essential oils commonly used and easily found at many local health stores. As mentioned in the beginning of this article, always speak with your doctor before adding herbal remedies to your healing regimen. |
