I have been using essential oils for about 15 years now. My first experience with them was right after our family doctor suggested chamomile essential oil to help with panic attacks and anxiety. At that time I had heard of essential oils but was not very familiar with them. Because of the doctors suggestion, we ran out to our local health food store and grabbed a bottle of chamomile essential oil. And since them, I have done a lot of reading so that I could learn as much as I could about essential oils. Some things before you go out and use them:
Lavender = relaxing and healing Tea tree = antibacterial Orange = cheering and uplifting Lemon = clearing and antiseptic Chamomile = calming and anti-inflammatory Eucalyptus = antiseptic and anti-inflammatory Peppermint = refreshing and cooling The FDA does not regulate essential oils, so in turn, essential oils can't cure, treat or heal any diseases. We've been using oils for trouble relaxing and sleeping, headaches, anxiety and ADHD symptoms as well as tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and for improving circulation among many other things. If you are looking to start using essential oils, I would recommend starting with some basic "everyday" oils such as Lavender, Peppermint and Tea Tree. These are great oils to get you started as they can be used for a variety of things and as such, they are affordable oils. Also, do not forget to purchase a carrier oil to dilute your essential oils in. I use grapeseed oil as it is not a heavy oil and it does not have a heavy, greasy feel. Also, you can find grapeseed oil very cheap in any supermarket or even at walmart. You can also make your own essential oil blends! I use these essential oils, but there are many other quality essential oils you can choose from such as these essential oils as well as these essential oils. When you blend your essential oils you need to store them in glass. I always use these bottles to store my oils and I use these roller bottles to pour my blends into for easy application. * This is not medical advice.
