From citrus scents to earthy ones, there is a vast array of oils to choose from depending on what health condition you’re looking to soothe. Some of the top categories include:
- Digestion
- Stress
- Cold & flu
- Immune
- Detox
- Energy
- Anxiety
- Allergies
- Pain
Among these, there are single oils, as well as blends, that can be used to help treat conditions associated with each category.
And while you may think that essential oils only have one application use, there are actually several options! Food-grade essential oils are great for oral use, but there’s also diffusion and topical use — all of which present the same benefits.
