If you love essential oils, you probably have your favorites or
“go-to” oils you use for various reasons, such as lavender to promote a
relaxing atmosphere and lemon for freshening the air. Essential oils
literally are gifts of the earth. The aromas and uses of high-quality
essential oils are numerous as you’ve likely experienced.
Once
you have your basics covered and understand how to incorporate
essential oils into your regular routine, think about exploring new ones
and expanding your collection. Here are four essential oils to try,
some of which you may have never heard of.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Did you know frankincense oil
is one of the most precious and prized essential oils? Considered the
“king of oils,” you may be most familiar with frankincense from the New
Testament, but it was also burned in religious ceremonies by the
Babylonians and Assyrians. Centuries worth of experience with
frankincense has contributed to modern uses today. Its soothing and
rejuvenating properties support well-being in a variety of ways.
Suggested Uses for Frankincense Essential Oil
• After gardening, rub frankincense on your hands to soothe your skin.
You can apply one or two drops or dilute with a carrier oil to minimize
possible skin sensitivity.
• Reduce the appearance of minor skin imperfections with topical application.
• Massage frankincense oil on the bottoms of your feet.
• Combine frankincense essential oil with other complementary essential oils, like lavender and bergamot, to encourage a peaceful and satisfying atmosphere.
Helichrysum Essential Oil
Another sought-after essential oil used in herbal health practices
since ancient Greece is helichrysum. It’s referred to as the Everlasting
or Immortal Flower, known for restorative and rejuvenating properties
for the skin.
Suggested Uses for Helichrysum Essential Oil
• Reduce the appearance of blemishes with topical application.
• Apply to your face to reduce the look of wrinkles and promote a glowing complexion.
• Massage into your temples and the back of the neck to enjoy a soothing sensation.
Melissa Essential Oil
Melissa is Greek for “honey bee.” Also known as lemon balm, Melissa
officinalis received the name “Melissa” because of its sweet, fresh,
citrus-like fragrance, known to attract bees. Melissa is a rare and
expensive essential oil, known for promoting a calm and relaxing
atmosphere. It’s used to add flavor to foods too.
Suggested Uses for Melissa Essential Oil
• You can diffuse Melissa essential oil at night to create a relaxing environment—or rub on your forehead, shoulders, or chest.
• Add to your moisturizer or spritz on your face (diluted with water) to rejuvenate the skin.
Spikenard Essential Oil
Native to regions of the Himalayan mountains, spikenard has been
appreciated for centuries. It was traditionally used in Ayurvedic health
practices of India and to anoint people of high honor. It’s more
commonly used today in massage oils and perfumes because of its woody,
musty scent.
Suggested Uses for Spikenard Essential Oil
• Diffuse or apply one or two drops to the back of your neck or temples.
• Make a personalized fragrance with spikenard and include other
essential oils, such as clove, cypress, frankincense, geranium, juniper
berry, lavender, myrrh, wild orange, rose, and vetiver.
• Promote glowing skin by adding one to two drops to your favorite cleanser or anti-aging cream.
• Add a drop to your moisturizing cream to soften and smooth the look of skin.
