I love essential oils

Essential oils are volatile chemical compounds derived from plants.

There are many essential oils, however, of all of them, I consider these four to be the most useful and functional:

Frankincense essential oil,

Lavender essential oil,

Eucalyptus essential oil, and

Almond oil.

Note that there are many essential oils that can only be applied to the skin in conjunction with other essential oils.

For example, frankincense and lavender can only be applied to the skin with a base oil, which in my case is almond oil.

I love natural beauty

Almond oil nourishes and hydrates. It can be applied directly to the skin. 

 

Frankincense essential oil is considered the king of essential oils because, It harmonizes emotions and relieves depression, agitation, and melancholy.  Smooths wrinkles and moisturizes the skin. 

It helps control skin oiliness. 

It helps us deal with the death of someone important to us. 

It also raises our awareness by producing a positive energetic vibration around us. 

It is said that this oil protects us from negative energies, so if you put it on the back of your neck, it protects you from energy vampires. Because it's behind the neck that our energy is sucked. It is also placed behind the ears because all the acupuncture points connected to the body are there. 

*2 drops of Frankincense oil mixed with a "dessert/coffee spoon" of almond oil. Apply it on the face, neck (back and front), and behind the ears. 

This essential oil cannot be applied directly to the skin, but must be mixed with a base oil, which in my case is almond, but it can also be in the coconut. 

 

Lavender essential oil 

It has a relaxing effect (when inhaled), 

It improves skin problems such as psoriasis or eczema by reducing inflammation, 

It helps hair grow, 

It has healing, anti-infectious, anti-fungal, antiseptic, bactericidal properties, 

It is a skin regenerator, 

It helps with mycosis treatments, dermatitis, boils, athlete’s foot, allergies, and eczema, 

It restores the body’s energy balance and protects us from energetic external aggressions. 

At night I like to put it on my feet (along with the almonds oil) because we are relaxed at night. People say that at night our energy is "wasted" in theft. And our energy is sucked out of our feet when we sleep. Lavender oil will protect us energetically, in addition to all the physical benefits already mentioned. 

*At night I put on my feet: Lavender essential oil (four drops) with almond oil (one dessert spoon). 

This essential oil cannot be applied directly to the skin, but must be mixed with a base oil, which in my case is almond, but it can also be in the coconut. 

 

Eucalyptus essential oil 

I put 5 drops of eucalyptus essential oil in a pan with boiling water. 

I cover myself with a towel while I inhale the steam. 

It really helps with respiratory problems: it eases the symptoms of sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis, phlegm, cough, and sore throat. 

Essential oils are widely used in aromatherapy, where they are inhaled. However, I'm going to talk about essential oils for skin care purposes.
