But what exactly are Essential Oils? For those who are new to this trend, these incredibly potent oils — some of which have been around for centuries — are extracted from plants to capture their flavors, scents, and overall beneficial properties.

They are most commonly used in aromatherapy to support health and well-being.

Essential Oils and Aromatherapy may be used to treat:

- Stress and anxiety

- Headaches and migraines

- Sleep and insomnia

- Reducing inflammation

- Antibiotic and antimicrobial

There are more than 90 types of them, each with its own unique smell and potential health benefits.

They are consumed through various methods, inhaled or applied to the skin.

Here's a list of 10 popular essential oils and the health claims associated with them:

- Peppermint: used to boost energy and aid digestion

- Lavender: used to relieve stress

- Sandalwood: used to calm nerves and help with focus

- Bergamot: used to reduce stress and improve skin conditions like eczema

- Rose: used to improve mood and reduce anxiety

- Chamomile: used to improve mood and relaxation

- Ylang-Ylang: used to treat headaches, nausea, and skin conditions

- Tea Tree: used to fight infections and boost immunity

- Jasmine: used to help with depression, childbirth, and libido

- Lemon: used to aid digestion, mood, headaches, and more

High-quality oils only use pure plant compounds extracted by distillation or cold pressing. Oils that have been diluted with synthetic fragrances, chemicals, or oils should be avoided.

The way the oils are made is very important, since essential oils obtained through chemical processes are not considered true essential oils.
