The Benefits of Using Essential Oils

The most common essential oils include Tea Tree Oil, Lavender Oil, Grapefruit Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Lemon Oil, and Rosemary Oil. As a health and lifestyle expert, I strongly suggest that you integrate these oils into your daily life. Why?

They Boost Mood

When you inhale essential oils, the molecules reach your brain through the nose. Once in the brain, the essential oil molecules bind to the limbic system, a part of our brain involved in memory, behavior, and emotions. Essential oils also harbor anxiolytic properties and mood-lifting properties that help with anxiety and depression, respectively.

They Improve Productivity

With depression and anxiety out of the way, your alertness goes to new roofs. Increased attentiveness translates to high job performance.

They Encourage Better Sleep

Essential oils are loaded with cedrol, a compound that switches on the parasympathetic nervous system. With an active parasympathetic system, the young, healthy adults and older adults can get quality shuteye.
