Chapter 3. Why You Should Use Essential Oils

Essential oils are nature’s gift to humanity. They have enormous amounts of benefits and advantages for not just our body, but for our spiritual and mental health as well. You have learned how to use the essential oils in the previous chapter. It is now time that you learn the ways in which these highly beneficial oils can be used for your mind and body. This chapter will also enlighten you about the reasons why you should always prefer essential oils over any other remedy.

No Side Effects

The first thing that may come to your mind before the usage is the possible side effects of the essential oils. You may doubt its effectiveness and may be scared about experiencing any adverse effects. Contrary to your belief, essential oils do not have any side effects. You can safely use them for your diseases without any fear of damage to your body.

You may only experience headaches or dizziness but the oils will not lead you to anything dangerous.

Essential oils are purely natural and are therefore free from all those chemicals which can harm you in any way. Your man-made medicines, on the other hand, can easily give you side effects, especially those used to treat depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses. Thus, instead of going for medicines which could harm your body, isn’t it safer to use natural essential oils which give you equally betterrelief?

Inexpensive

Another reason why essential oils should be your first preference in case of any concern is their relative cost. You might be wondering that a bottle full of benefits will be too expensive for you to afford. This is not the case with essential oils fortunately. A bottle of your favorite essential oil is easily available in the market at an inexpensive cost which will not cause any burdens to your budget. Also, if you invest in an essential oil, be prepared to enjoy the benefits of the bottle for at least five years.

Stress Reliever

No matter how happy and satisfied you are, stress will never leave your life. Each of us gets stressed even about small little things in our daily life, which is perfectly normal. The problem, however, starts when the stress persists and we are unable to get rid of it for a long time. This is when the anxiety sets in and you experience headaches, stomach aches and nausea.
