Introduction

Essential oils are one of the most versatile natural remedies around. They can be used in so many ways, from cleaning your home to treating minor cuts and bruises.

When diffusing an oil blend into the air around you (or directly onto yourself), you may feel an instant sense of calmness or relaxation—or even tingling sensations in various parts of your body once it's absorbed by your skin.

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses the aromatic compounds in essential oils, or other aromatic compounds, to improve psychological or physical well-being.

The heat from the essential oil will warm up your skin, which may cause some discomfort as you become accustomed to this new sensation. It should be noted that some people find topical application painful, so if you're prone to getting irritated by lotions or creams (or even just hot water), try applying it topically instead!

• Inhalation: There are many ways in which you can inhale essential oils—from diffusers at home (which use steam) to aromatherapy machines at spas—but if all else fails there's always tea! Tea bags soaked with peppermint or chamomile tea provide excellent relief for sore muscles due to their ability increase blood flow throughout your body while simultaneously relaxing muscles involved in movement.*

Essential oils can also give an added boost of energy and focus when you need it most—and this makes them ideal for stress relief! The best part?

Not every essential oil will work for you but there are plenty out there that do!

While there are many different essential oils out there, not every one will work for you. Some people have allergic reactions to certain essential oils and it's important to be aware of your own body chemistry when it comes to these products.
