Essential oils, which ones and how to use them?

One of the ideas that is weighing on us the most lately is the dependence that we have generated on medicines for years to treat even the slightest sign of physical discomfort. We have seen millions of documentaries about how medicines are not good for us. But we all know the truth. Medicines do help, but if we take one for every headache or stomach ache we feel, it is no surprise that they hurt us. It’s not about not taking medicine, it’s about learning to take them. And so, what can we do to alleviate the discomfort other than an excess of pills? There are many options, but one of the best is essential oils. ** Various research shows that certain essential oils have the ability to affect the nervous system. Which means they can lower blood pressure, calm you or give you a boost of energy. Some of the essential oils we recommend are:

• Lavender – this oil is perfect for relaxing, especially recommended before bed. So much so that, in a medical study, it was successfully used to control and reduce the dose of morphine in a group of patients.
• Jasmine – is used to help heal scars and other skin marks, helps with depression. It has also been used as a disinfectant. But one of its most notable uses is to rekindle romance thanks to its aphrodisiac effects.
• Eucalyptus – is a well-known natural decongestant. When used in a dehumidifier, it helps purify the environment and help you breathe better. If you use it in a hot compress, it will help disinfect your nasal tracts and lungs.
