If you would like to support your body and mind, you might be looking for natural treatments, instead of prescription medication. Essential oils have been used for a long time by people for various problems; preventing anxiety, improving the complexion of the skin, or reducing scars. You can even improve your digestion using essential oils. Below you will find a few oils you must have at home to live a healthier and happier life.

1. Lavender

If you often feel stressed out and would like to improve your wellbeing, you will need to have some lavender oil at home. You can use it to spray over the fresh laundry and keep it smelling good for longer, or in your bath water. There’s nothing nicer than getting into a hot bath after a hard day at work and letting the oil relax your muscles and your mind.

2. Tea Tree Oil

In case you suffer from acne or other skin imperfections, you will need tea tree oil. Some people have reported that this antibacterial essential oil is great for getting rid of yeast infections and athlete’s foot, as well. If you have this oil in the house, you can also mix it with warm water and use it as a natural disinfectant. In case you have a dry skin, however, you will need to make sure that you are using plenty of moisturizing oil after the treatment.

3. Peppermint

Peppermint essential oil is great for those who like working out and are on a diet, trying to lose weight without having to put up with stretch marks. Peppermint essential oil will help your muscles relax and at the same time increase the circulation of your skin. This means that your cells will be more active regenerating themselves and getting rid of the imperfections.

4. Rose Essential Oil

If you would like to keep your skin youthful, you might want to give the rose oil a try. This is very pleasant and relaxing. You will need a carrier oil so you can dilute it, or it can irritate your skin. Use almond or grapeseed oil and mix in a few drops of rose essential oil. Use the treatment every night, and see for yourself how much better your face looks and feels like.
