Essential oils are a great way to help improve your wellness and wellbeing, and unlike many conventional forms of therapy, there is no environmental impact.
If you don’t know anything about essential oils, however, it can be difficult to work out where to start with it all. The best thing to do is to purchase some kind of reference guide. There are numerous useful guides on the market, and these take you through the history of the essential oils and detail the benefits and multiple uses of each one. There are often recipes for using essential oils in homemade body and bath products.
Oils are generally listed alphabetically and by their common name, and then the pages go into further details about extraction methods, properties (such as anti-inflammatory or sedative, for example), chemical constituents and any folklore connected with that oil. Sometimes there are even examples of historical uses or bible references.
A good book will also indicate which systems in the body are affected by the particular oil listed and whether it is generally thought to be safe for internal consumption. Any other safety information is usually included too, such as whether the oil can be used during pregnancy, or whether people with diabetes or epilepsy can use the oil.
There is usually information about oil blends, too. Some oils do a great job on their own, whilst others react really usefully with other oils, to create blends that can have a beneficial effect on the human body.
Many books will also have a reference guide, where conditions are listed and users can then look up their personal health problem and find out which oils can help. Suggested oils are listed for many different types of mental and physical conditions.
