Here are my favorite oils that you should keep on hand, all the time...
1. Lavender essential oil
Lavender oil is all things calming to the body. It's amazing for your mood and for your skin. For mood, it's been shown to relieve anxiety. It's been shown to help you overcome insomnia and improve sleep. My wife and I have a diffuser by our bed and we diffuse it in the air before bed or we just rub it on our necks, but it's great for winding down before sleep and to use on your skin. Lavender oil is one of my favorites, one that I use pretty much every single day.
2. Lemon oil
Lemon oil is everything clean and fresh. Also, lemon oil is a natural detoxifier. It's been shown to detoxify the gall bladder and the liver and the lymphatic system. So, adding just a few drops of lemon oil to your water is great for naturally fighting any sort of immune-related issue and great for detoxification.
3. Peppermint oil
There are over 1,000 medical studies just on peppermint oil alone! One of the studies is how peppermint oil can be effective on the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease or IBS.
Those with diarrhea, constipation, any sort of bowel issue or leaky gut, peppermint oil is a great essential oil to use. There are so many more uses, but overall this is an incredible essential oil that you can use on a regular basis.
4. Melaleuca
Also known as tea tree oil. This is the number one oil for acne. Just mix some raw honey and melaleuca together to make a natural face wash. Also, it's great for the scalp. You can mix it with shampoo and conditioner. I've made a natural deodorant with melaleuca oil because it's antimicrobial.
5. Oil of oregano
It's a powerful natural immune support. If you come down with a cold, you can simply mix this with coconut oil and rub it on the bottom of the feet and it's very effective that in kicking a cold that way.
This is my number one essential oil. It's an essential oil I use every single day and it's the most referenced essential oil in the Bible and throughout history. Frankincense contains a compound called boswellia, which is anti-inflammatory. So, if you have inflammation anywhere, especially in the brain, frankincense is the most powerful thing you could ever use.
I use frankincense oil everyday for anti-aging. I believe it’s the most powerful essential oil in the entire world today, and there are many, many more benefits of frankincense oil.
