What Are The Best Essential Oils
Essential oils are fragrant oils from plants. Historically, they have been used in medicine, cosmetics, perfumes, food, and more recently aromatherapy.
Essential oils are “essential” because they contain the “essence bit of the plant, ie taste or smell. [one]
Not only are essential oils popular, but there is also a science that will support the use and treatment as well. [2] Although the exact benefit is due to fat, some have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Others may affect cognitive function, mood, and memory. Some can even help relieve stiff, sore muscles and joints.
Some essential oils can be applied to the skin, others are best taken orally. However, do not drink or topically apply essential oils unless you are absolutely sure how to use them.
Not all essential oils are safe enough to be taken systemically and some may irritate the skin. Essential oils are a concentrated source of many phytochemicals, and some essential oils should be diluted with a “carrier oil ecek that can be safely used on the skin.
Health Benefits of Essential Oils
One of the main benefits of essential oils is that, when used appropriately, it provides many benefits and low side effects.
Many essential oils are effective against harmful organisms. Some may have a positive effect on your mood and mood. Some essential oils can help you feel less headache or nausea.

Lavender oil
Lavender oil obtained from fresh lavender flowers is one of the most known essential oils. It slows down the activity of the central nervous system, improves sleep quality, promotes better concentrations, and promotes regrowth in those suffering from alopecia areata, a type of hair loss. [4]
Lavender can also help you fight anxiously. In one study, the encapsulated lavender oil was found to be effective for generalized anxiety disorder without sedative effects or potential for abuse. [5]
Eucalyptus oil
Eucalyptus oil is a powerful biocide derived from the leaves of Eucalyptus odorata, a smaller variant of the eucalyptus tree. Antimicrobial, insecticidal, herbicidal, acaricidal (kills ticks and mites) and nematicidal (kills nematodes). [6] It is particularly effective against bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. [7]
Eucalyptus oil is excellent for respiratory health. Breathing eucalyptus vapor can help relieve cough and congestion. The aroma of the oil acts as an expectorant and helps to relax the phlegm in the nasal passages and lungs. [8]
In one study, researchers found that the combination of eucalyptus oil and peppermint oil increased cognitive performance. In the same study, the scent of these two essential oils reduces headache and promotes mental and muscle relaxation. [9]
Mint oil
Peppermint oil can help reduce nausea [10] headache, [9] gas in the stomach, indigestion and anxiety. It works in the digestive system by accelerating the elimination rate. Peppermint oil soothes the involuntary smooth muscle of the stomach, creates an antispasmodic effect and improves bile flow. It can help alleviate disorders associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and studies have shown that encapsulated peppermint oil can reduce IBS symptoms in 80% of people receiving it. The effect of peppermint oil comes from the fact that it contains menthol, which inhibits the movement of electrolytes in the cell membranes and stops involuntary contractions. [12]
Beyond digestive aid, peppermint oil can provide relief by penetrating skin outbreaks of HSV-1 (Herpes simplex) and acting directly against the virus. Further research is needed, but preliminary results suggest that topical administration can combat HSV-1. [13]
Tea tree oil
Tea tree oil is another essential oil with strong antimicrobial properties. Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, comes from “tea” or “paperbark” trees. [14] There is a long history of antiseptic use in Australia. Australian Bundjalung aborigines inhaled cough to heal wounds and smelled of crushed leaves to relieve used poultry.
Today, we know that tea tree oil is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antiprotozoal. [14] It fights harmful organisms by damaging cell membranes. [15] Tea tree oil also inhibits the growth and sporulation of yeast and fungi. Fat can be applied topically to prevent infection. [14]
Like peppermint oil, tea tree oil also appears to have an effect on HSV-1. One study has shown that topical tea tree oil can reduce viral load by up to 98.2%, although it does not prevent recurrent outbreaks of herpes. [14]
Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil is derived from the seeds of a wild jojoba bush, a small, woody desert plant native to Arizona, California and northwest Mexico. Historically, Native Americans have used jojoba oil to help heal wounds. Jojoba oil contains unique fatty acids and fatty alcohol esters that are similar to those found in sperm whales, but are superior. [16]
Unlike other essential oils, jojoba oil is not an essential oil, but still provides plenty of benefits to the skin primarily. [17] In terms of wound healing, researchers have found that jojoba oil accelerates wound closure at the cellular level. [18] To improve skin appearance and reduce acne, add jojoba oil to your skin care routine. Evidence suggests that clay-jojoba oil facial masks can be an effective treatment for mild acne. [18]

Chamomile is also appreciated for its anti-inflammatory effects. One study found that daisies inhibit and prevent a chemical process that causes inflammation in the body. [23] In addition, chamomile appears to inhibit the effects of Helicobacter pylori, gastric ulcer-provoking bacteria. [22]

In contrast, the rose is not necessarily a volatile oil because the rose is extracted using a more intensive chemical extraction process. Like other essential oils, rose oil promotes a calm mood and fights harmful organisms. [24] It contains tocopherol (a vitamin E compound), carotene, and high levels of phenolic compounds. [25] Rose oil can make your skin more permeable [26] so it is often added to skin care products to improve effectiveness.
Thyme oil
Oregano oil contains carvacrol, a powerful organic compound with a long list of useful properties, including combating harmful organisms. [27] Carvacrol also promotes liver health. [28]
Jasmine Oil

When applied topically, jasmine oil increases alertness, respiration rate and vitality. These effects can support an ascending mood and a better sense of well-being. [29]

Neroli Oil
Neroli oil is derived from Citrus aurantium flowers, also known as bitter orange tree native to tropical and subtropical Asia. Oils continue with many names, but are often referred to as acı orange bitter ”and uncu Seville orange”. It is known as Neroli because an Italian princess of the 17th century, Anne Marie Orsini of Nerola, liked the smell. Neroli oil is commonly added to diet pills because it can act as an appetite suppressant. One of the most important benefits of neroli oil is that it helps alleviate the symptoms associated with menopause and stress. [36] It also enhances the effects of the endocrine system, fights harmful organisms, and soothes irritations. [35]

Lemon balm, also called valerian, is another essential oil that helps with menopausal symptoms, especially irregular sleep patterns. [37] Lemon balm also sharpens memory and improves problem-solving abilities. Some promising research has shown that it may improve the recall of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. [38]
