Aromatherapy has been used for thousands of years throughout many cultures. It has been widely believed, studied and concluded, that natural essential oils can help with the treatment of many ailments such as congestion, muscle pain, joint pain, anxiety, depression, eczema, psoriasis, sleep problems, fatigue, nausea, and inflammation. Used in conjunction with mindfulness meditation and yoga, aromatherapy can help to open the lungs for easier breathing, ease muscle soreness, and calm the mind. Essential oils can be used as topical agents or burned in a diffuser or wax candle.
Pure organic essential oils should not be ingested as it is too strong for the organs to digest properly. Used a skin agent, it is important to perform an allergy test before using it. It is recommended to use essential oils within other natural agents to dilute the oil such as soaps, body creams, and soy wax.
Below is a list of essential oils and their benefits:

This essential oil can help improve congestion and breath flow. It can also help to ease joint and muscle pain when used directly on the skin or through a body cream or butter. The Eucalyptus scent also helps to ease stress and anxiety.

Pain from migraines and menstrual cycle is also eased with topical application. Studies have also shown that used as aromatherapy Lavender can ease depression and insomnia. A natural sleep agent, Lavender can be used as a topical application before bed to help sleep better.
Citrus such as Lemon and Orange:
These essential oils have anti-microbial that helps to kill bacteria that grow on the skin as well as Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli. Studies have shown lemon and orange essential oils help with focus and alertness.
Sandalwood:
This oil works as an antiseptic and astringent that helps clear the pores and reduce minor skin inflammation, making it a great anti-aging product. The woody scent helps to reduce stress and increase focus, making it a natural aphrodisiac.
