I am one of those people that feels there is room in the medical field for both sides of info: natural and scientific. We have been blessed with great information and minds that are always trying to help the human race for the better. I think any product or information that can help us, has a place. That said, I've been trying to learn more about the benefits of essential oils lately. I've always known essential oils can be helpful, I've just never really put the time in to finding out specifically what they are good for. Well, here are two essential oils that I've been using for a few months now that I find very useful and very helpful.
Lavender Essential Oil has an enormous amount of benefits. Lavender has a calming scent which makes it an excellent tonic for the nerves. Therefore, it helps in treating migraines, headaches, anxiety, depression, nervous tension and emotional stress. It also helps induce sleep,
sore muscles, tense muscles, muscular aches, sprains, and backaches. It is great to use with burns, sunburns, acne, wrinkles, and inflammations. I've used it in the vaporizer to help with a cold or cough. I've also used it to put on my children when they get mosquito bites. It can help repel mosquitoes.

Tea Tree Oil has wonderful properties that makes it a popular natural agent for curing all three types of infectious organisms: fungus, bacteria, and virus.
It’s an antibacterial, anti-fungal, and a disinfectant oil. It can be used for cuts, burns, sunburns, blisters, rashes, insect bites, acne, yeast infections, dandruff, sore throat, congestion, cold sores, and warts, just to name a few benefits. I've recently used it to help with an ear infection.
CAUTION: it can be very dangerous to kids and even adults if taken internally, so please read more information on it before using. Check
