**Lavender essential oil

Many studies have shown that lavender eases headaches, combats fatigue & generally boosts the body's immune system. A necessary addition to every first-aid kit, also good for stings, burns, scalds, sunburn & rubbed topically on the temples & neck for tension headaches.

*Advocates of aromatherapy suggest that there are many essential oils that offer energy-enhancing benefits while helping to improve focus and motivation.

The following table shows which essential oils claim to boost energy, mood, or creativity. Future research will need to specify and study these claims.

~~~~How do you use essential oils?~~~~

Although some advocates of essential oils mix the oils with lotions or apply them to bandages, the most common ways to use essential oils for aromatherapy is:

* Direct inhalation. You can breathe in the scent of the essential oil using an individual inhaler which often includes floating drops of essential oil on hot water.

* Indirect inhalation. You can also breathe in the scent by using a room diffuser to spread the scent through the air. Placing drops on a tissue or cotton ball is another way of indirect inhalation.

* Massage. You can massage the diluted essential oil into your skin. Make sure to dilute the essential oil in a carrier oil — such as coconut oil, almond oil, or avocado oil — before applying to your skin.

~~~Essential oil best practices~~~

* Always use a carrier oil when applying essential oils topically.

* Always do a patch test before applying to your skin.

* Always buy 100% pure essential oils from a reputable source.

* Never take essential oils by mouth unless told to do so by a healthcare professional. Many oils are toxic.

***Potential risks***

If you’re taking medications or have a serious health condition, talk to your doctor before using essential oils.*If you’re planning on using an essential oil topically, test for a possible allergic reaction by putting a drop or two on your elbow or wrist and covering the test area with a bandage. In 24 hours, if you feel itching or see redness or a rash, then the oil shouldn’t be used on your skin.

*If you’re planning on using essential oils with your child, talk with your pediatrician before starting.

**Lemon (and any citrus) essential oil makes your skin very sun sensitive. Don’t expose your skin to the sun if you’ve put on a citrus oil.

***When diffusing essential oils into the air, consider who else might be exposed including pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with asthma, children, or pets. (Some essential oils can be dangerous to certain individuals who are extremely sensitive.)

***The takeaway***

If you find yourself reaching for a cup of coffee, sugary soda, or energy drink to beat your fatigue, you might try boosting your energy with an essential oil instead. Choose from any of the above 100% pure Essential Oils to ease fatigue & boost your immune system!
