Improve Your Health With Essential Oils
The term “aromatherapy” was invented by a French chemist in 1935, but the practice of aromatherapy has been around for more than 5,000 years! Here’s how you can use essential oils to reduce your daily stress.
Essential oils may boost cognitive function, decrease agitation, improve sleep quality, lower blood pressure, and generally reduce the overall stress levels of people of all ages.
Essential oils can be used in various ways, including diffusing them, using them in a bath, inhaling them, or rubbing them into your skin, similar to cologne or perfume.
Here are some of the most common essential oils and their benefits.
