Essential Oils are some of the most effective remedies for you and your family for all of those little ailments that occur in daily life.

Some of the most effective oils that I personally never leave home without are:

• Lavender - It is antiseptic and antibiotic and a great all rounder for headaches, asthma and stress, as well as bites and stings, cuts and spots. It is very calming and helps to lower the blood pressure and aids restful sleep amongst other things. My own asthma is much improved by inhaling through a diffuser.
• Geranium - Not only is this an amazing smelling oil, it is also fantastic to use as a blood coagulant for deep cuts, the bleeding will stop very quickly. Another great use is for massaging onto the abdomen for period pains and PMS, as well as increasing milk flow to the breasts by massaging in when breast feeding.
• Peppermint - This is ideal for morning sickness, nausea and vomiting by burning in an oil burner. Another use is putting onto a tissue to totally revive and restore energy with just one drop. (Great for keeping ants away too!)
• Tea Tree - This fabulous oil is another of my absolute must haves! It is such an amazing all rounder, warding off viruses, bacteria and fungi, fighting off foreign invaders to the body. Great for nail fungus, mouth wash, inflamed skin, dandruff, athletes foot, psoriasis, thrush and much much more…..

There are so many amazing oils to explore with various different uses, and each one is a very exciting healing tool to look into. We hope you can begin your journey here at eightlife!
