As you look for natural alternatives to body care products, you'll soon find that essential oils are, well, an essential part of any natural regime. Oils are used in lotions, shampoos, soaps, toothpastes, and can provide remedy for a variety of health problems. With the number of essential oils available, how do you choose the brand and variety that best suits your need?
You need to start by understanding the difference between essential oils, and other fragrant potions marketed in stores and on the Internet. Essential oils are distilled from leaves, stems, flowers and roots of plants. They are pure, without chemical additives, unlike fragrant or perfume oils. Often referred in connection with aromatherapy, the benefits of essential oils extends beyond their fragrant properties.
In addition to inhalation through aromatherapy, these oils can be ingested or applied topically in lotions or ointments. They provide a number of therapeutic benefits when added to personal care products. It can be difficult to match the correct oil with your needs. The website, www.family-essential-oils.com has a chart showing the best oils to treat your symptoms.
If you are making your own products, remember that essential oils are highly concentrated. The rule in adding an oil is “less is more”. You can also blend oils to get the desired effect.
