At one time essential oils were only associated with aromatherapy. Now they are an internal part of the beauty world. You’ll find them in everything from spa products, to household products to skin and body treatment products.

Essential oils are used to energize and to calm. They can boost your workout at the gym, helping you to stay focused and keep moving. Some of the oils that are used in this environment are grapefruit, lemon, peppermint and rosemary.

Essential oils are also used to help to calm and relax you. They work well when soaking in your tub. Oils in this category would include chamomile, lavender, rose patchouli and ylang ylang.

You can use these oils alone or in combination with each other to create some very nice recipes for yourself. Let’s take a look at a few recipes:
