Two of the must-have essential oils at home are eucalyptus and
peppermint. These essential oils that were extracted from various plants
have several therapeutic properties that make them useful for any household.
Eucalyptus
The eucalyptus essential
oil is extracted from the eucalyptus plant. For years, the leaves of this plant
were used by the Aborigines in Australia to disinfect the wounds and treat them
for infection. That's because it has a natural antibacterial,
anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. What's great about eucalyptus
is its fresh and clean aroma that opens up your airways. This scent is
perfect for treating coughs, colds and congestion. In addition to that,
exposing yourself to its scent can help in treating mental exhaustion. Eucalyptus essential oil can be used in different ways -- aromatically or topically. You can choose to diffuse it in the air, inhale it directly or apply it on to your skin with or without the combination of carrier oil.
Peppermint
Compared to other
essential oils, the peppermint essential oil is more concentrated. The
peppermint plant is indigenous to Europe and is a cross between watermint and
spearmint. The peppermint essential oil has so many uses aside from just freshening your breath. It has high menthol content and that gives that cooling sensation while alleviating discomfort. The essential oils have antibacterial, antiviral, insecticidal and anti-inflammatory properties. Peppermint essential oil is best in treating indigestion, colds/congestion, headache and stress. It is also essential in heightening one's energy level.
Peppermint does more than providing relief to common health problems. It can help you deal with ants too. Put a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil on a cotton and put them directly into the pathway of the ants and they will for sure go away. That’s because ants are not really big fans of the scent.
Mixing the Two
Mixing two essential
oils is not something new. Some people want to experiment with the
essential oils they use and there are some oils that blend well with another.
One perfect example is the combination of eucalyptus and peppermint.
While the peppermint scent improves alertness and concentration, eucalyptus clears the mind. If you are working on a project or an assignment, light you can choose to light a KARMA SENSES eucalyptus mint scented natural soy candle or a MiKeRa scented natural Palm wax pillar candle so you are able to focus well on your task at hand. And now, there is a fresh new range of soy candle in glass jars, 'forest secrets' which includes Deep Mint and Snow Eucalyptus scents, and they are unbelievably good. Light them up at the same time for an amazing hit of mint and eucalyptus.
