Not only are they currently trending, but essential oils make the world go round. They are called essential for a reason. Essential oils are a natural oil typically obtained by distillation and having the characteristic fragrance of the plant or other source from which it is extracted.
Essential oils are good for so many things. You can use them for aromatherapy. They are often used in cosmetics and in diy products. Essential oils may also be used medicinally to treat a variety of aliments. In fact, there are tons of scientific studies that validate the ability of essential oils to treat certain health conditions from stress and anxiety to inflammation and bacterial infections.
Now all essential oils are not created equal. There are dozens of imposters out there claiming to be essential oils, but are nothing more than a bottle of toxic fumes. That’s why I typically stick to two tried and true brands. My favorite, ride or die, go to essential oils brands are:
Though significanltly pricier than other brands, these two brands are well worth the splurge. Aura Cacia has been around for over 20 years, their essential oils are certified organic, and come in an eco-friendly amber glass bottle. Now Solutions has been around since 1988, their oils are non-GMO, purity tested and quality assured. Both of these brands are currently the best in the world and their popularity is well-deserved.
There are several imposter essential oils that may be cheaper, but you ultimately pay the price anyway because they are often filled with all types of bad ingredients that can be highly toxic and lead to all sorts of health problems. So when it comes to essential oils I don’t take shortcuts. Now Solutions and Aura Cacia are my go to brands no matter the cost. For this reason they are absolutely splurge worthy! After all, essential oils make the world go round today and always.
