I'm sure you've heard about essential oils, and if you know me you know that I'm moderately obsessed with them. Here are some that might save your life (or relieve your headache) in the future!

1. Lavender

Lavender is wonderfully calming and can help promote better sleep. It also can relieve pain from burns and skin irritations, including acne.

2. Peppermint

Peppermint is a famous digestion aid, and it really comes in handy when you wake up with a stomach ache in the middle of the night. It also promotes cognitive function and can relieve headaches.

3. Tea Tree/Melaleuca

Not only is Tea Tree oil naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, but it also has a reputation for helping and healing skin.

4. Lemon

Speaking of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, lemon is the ultimate conqueror of bacteria. With its rejuvenating scent, it can also reduce stress and sleeplessness.

5. Grapefruit

Grapefruit is rich in antioxidants and a natural detoxifier. It can work as an antidepressant and help reduce appetite.

6. Clove

Clove is a famous destroyer of germs and is often used for dental hygiene. Much like a lot of other oils, it is also anti-inflammatory, and can help with respiratory problems.

7. Eucalyptus

If you ever have a stuffy nose, smell some eucalyptus! It is a natural decongestant and can also help with asthma.

There are a ton of other essential oils out there for just about every ailment, and you can find them at most health food stores.
