You can also use them in bathwater to relax, refresh or revigorate. They can be added to lotions, made into rubs and some can even be added to teas (such as peppermint). Lavender is also used for its healing properties and can be used on minor cuts/scrapes.

I would recommend getting a book on essential oils. More than anything though, make sure your oils are real essential oils, not perfumes or scents. Cold processed in dark bottles are what you are looking for and not all essential oils are created equal!!!!!!

can you recommend some essential oils? and where to get them? thanks!
