What Are the Best Essential Oils?

Aromatherapy has a wide variety of healing abilities – from relieving sore and tense muscles to quieting anxiety.

Aromatherapy oils are created by extracting natural oils from different areas of plants. Steam distillation is typically used to make the health-boosting oils. Steam runs through the plant and breaks down the cells that carry the oil. Both the oil and steam are then transported to a cooling chamber where they are separated. The result is the capturing of essential oil.

Here are some of the oils that we believe have the best healing properties:

Lavender.
