Essential oils have been around since ancient times, but they are enormously popular today. In an effort to minimize the number of chemicals in their lives, people are turning to essential oils in their personal care products, cleaning products, and natural self-care. Furthermore, scents can trigger emotions, transporting us to a time or sensation.
What are essential oils?
So, what is an essential oil? To summarize, a highly concentrated plant extract made from the roots, leaves, seeds or blossoms of plants is what makes up essential oils. Essential oils are highly concentrated, so it takes a lot of plant material to product a little oil, but the good news is, a little bit of oil goes a long way. Each type of oil has specific properties that can have positive effects on mood and wellness.
As a result, we love working with essential oils and including them in our bath and body products. Some of our favorites (and yours) include:
Lavender: used to relieve stress and anxiety and as a sleep aid along with also having healing properties.
Lemon: used to aid digestion, mood, headaches, and more
Eucalyptus: soothes tired and achy muscles, and supports the health of the respiratory system.
Tea tree oil: used to fight infections and boost immunity
Peppermint: used to boost energy and aid digestion
Patchouli: used for skin conditions such as dermatitis or dry, cracked skin
When shopping for essential oils, be sure to look for a trusted producer that ma kes pure oils. We prefer Simply Earth, which offers great products but also shares 13% of their profits to organizations that fight human trafficking.
