Basil, Lavender, and Ylang-Ylang
These oils are known for reducing anxiety and depression. They can help to treat headaches, nervousness, and even insomnia. Using these oils for relief can also boost your spirit- giving more confidence, self-esteem, and even energizing your entire mood. When diluted with water, you can simply spray the air or area from a small container. A little goes a long way.
Peppermint and Eucalyptus
Both oils work amazing for respiratory care. They are natural energizers that help to clean pollution and mold in the air. They can also help to cleanse your body from toxins that make you sick.
