5 must-have essential oils (slideshow)
What to look for in your oils
If you’re not already familiar with shopping for essential oils, here’s what to look for to ensure you get the most benefits.
- Certified organic oils – Since you will be diffusing your oils, spraying them in the air you breathe, and possibly rubbing them into your skin, your best bet is to pick out oils that are certified organic. This means the herbs used to make the oils are grown without chemical pesticides and GMOs that could be harmful to your health.
- Only 100% pure oil – You don’t want an oil that has a lot of fillers. Look at the ingredients and make sure the oil you choose is 100% pure oil.
All 5 of these essential oils can be used in a diffuser, a spray bottle with water, or applied to your skin as long as you combine them with a carrier oil such as almond or jojoba oil. If you choose to use them on your skin, always test a small skin patch first to make sure you aren’t sensitive to the oil. The same is true if you decide to sprinkle the oil on your pillow at night as some people may break out.
However you choose to use your oil, you will quickly realize the benefits of this natural way to stay healthier and fight off infections without a prescription.
