What You Should Know About Essential Oils

Extracting compounds from plants through distillation with steam or water creates the essential oils we use in our everyday lives. The other process of extracting oils is through mechanical methods such as cold pressing or a chemical process. Essential oils are an integral part of massage and aromatherapy for their many health benefits. The effects of essential oils are more pronounced through inhaling or massage oils. Through inhaling essential oils, you stimulate areas of your limbic system, which triggers the part of your brain that manages emotions, behaviour and smells. It might even play a role in your long-term memory.

Benefits Of Essential Oils

Throughout the years, essential oils such as tea tree oil have been popular for their many health benefits. Essential oils have been around since the earliest records of botanists and physicians in Egypt, India and China.

Some essential oils trigger the parts of your brain that manages your anxiety and stress levels. Using essential oils during massage therapy has proven to be beneficial for relaxation and stress relief.
By dabbing oils such as peppermint oil on your forehead and temples, you may experience relief from headaches or migraines. A traditional Persian headache remedy is applying a mixture of chamomile and sesame seed oil to your temples to help with headaches and migraines. A mix of lavender and peppermint oils may help with tension headaches as well.
Lavender has proven to help with relaxing and stress relief, though these benefits include sleeplessness and insomnia. Research shows that lavender oil improves the sleep quality of women after childbirth and patients with heart diseases.

Tips For Getting More Value Out of Essential Oils for Anxiety

We recommend you not to swallow any form of essential oils unless diluted safely into a drinking form. The side effects of essential oils may include rashes, asthma attacks, headaches and allergic reactions. We advise that you apply a drop onto a small part of your skin before applying it all over your body.

Always ensure the pureness of your oils. Using chemical processes to extract essential oils induces the chemicals into the oils, thus minimising their purity. Most suppliers of oils will use the plants' botanical name on the list of ingredients.
The quality of essential oils is paramount to receive all the health benefits. If the oils include other base oils and chemicals, you might diminish your chance of effectiveness.
Always consider the supplier's reputation. Knowing your suppliers increases your trust in their products and ensures you receive high-quality products.
