We know there are literally hundreds of essential oils on the market, but sometimes you just have to keep it simple. Rather than writing a long post on a series of essential oils, we preferred selecting just 3, simple nature derived oils that begin with the letter C. This is not the only thing they have in common of course. In fact, each of these has a series of wellness benefits that can help improve your every day life….and the life of the ones you hold dear!
Chamomile, and more specifically Roman Chamomile, is certainly one of the safest essential oils one can use. If you’ve ever enjoyed a cup of chamomile tea, you are probably already familiar with its sweet herbaceous scent. Traditionally this herb has been used as a calming and sedative agent, but as an essential oil, its powerful virtues are extensive and powerful.
How can this oil help?
The part of the plant typically used to produce essential oil is the flower or the bud, and the extraction method most commonly used is steam distillation.
Very important to note: Chamomile is a member of the Asteraceae family (also includes ragweed and other allergens), hence individuals suffering from asthma may want to use a different EO.
Clove oil has been traditionally used as an antiseptic and anaesthetic agent thanks to its eugenol content, especially as an application to toothaches and dental cavities. As a matter of fact, its virtues in reducing pain and killing certain germs, make it so that it is used today by your dentist as an ingredient in medical antiseptics. That’s the smell that welcomes you when you enter a dentist’s office!
*USE IT LIKE THIS: add 10 drops of clove oil to 100 ml of water, spray it directly on the mold, wait 10 minutes and then clean it off.
The part of the plant typically used to produce this essential oil is the bud, and the extraction method most commonly used is steam distillation.
Clary Sage is commonly used to reduce muscles spasms and cramps by helping to control nerve impulses. It is mainly for this reason that it is useful for menstrual cramps and can help mitigate spasmodic coughing and stomach aches.
It is considered to be an emmenagogue and therefore can stimulate blood flow to the pelvic area and uterus, further helping with uncomfortable pains due to menstruation and pms.
Clary Sage research has proven its many virtues over time. I absolutely love this oil and truly believe it’s a must have for every woman. However, it is not recommenced for pregnant women.
How can these incredible oils be used ?
Essential Oils are to be used very carefully, and, unless it is under the supervision of a certified aromatherapist, it is always recommended they are used with the appropriate dilutions with a carrier oil or water based gels.
