3 Essential Oils that Heal

3 Essential Oils that Heal

 

Upon opening my medical cabinet, you are unlikely to find outdated antibiotics and over-the-counter aspirin. Instead, I look to nature to help my headaches and knock out stomach bugs.

While you may not have consciously used essential oils for their medical properties before, if you’ve stopped to smell a rose then you know how wonderful essential oils can be.

Essential oils are the concentrated volatile components of plants that give them their smell and they’re packed with wonderful emotional, physical and spiritual health benefits.

If you pop into your local natural health store you’re likely to find a section full of different essential oils, so which three essential oils should you start building your natural medical cabinet with?

These are three of my favorites-along with mullein/garlic oil for ear infections and neem oil for skin problems-rashes/bites etc.
