Home Uses Of Essential Oils

By: George K. Home | Home-and-Family


Essential Oils have very good home uses. They can be used to clean and disinfect your home. Tea tree oil mixed with distilled water works just as a well any cleaner that you may buy from your local Wal-Mart or grocery store. It is also less expensive then your retail cleaners. Using just a few drops of essential oils will go along way.

Essential oils are perfect for cleaning places like your bathroom or your kitchen. One of the other benefits of using essential oils as cleaners and disinfectants are that you benefit from inhaling essential oils as a well. They are also not as harmful as many of the caustic chemicals that are found in home cleaners.

Instead of purchasing expensive Glade Plug-ins or other types of air fresheners or air scents for your home, boiling water and then adding your favorite essential oil, will allow you to fill your home with your favorite scent. It is also much cheaper and more environmentally safe. Creating your own air fresheners with your favorite scents allows you to change the smells in your house according to your mood and liking, without spending a ton of money.

Some essential oils are also effective for treating minor cuts, skin irritations, and even for sore muscles. Adding a few drops of essential oil of to your bath or diluting it with a carrier oil and then adding it to your skin, will help you remedy some of these minor conditions. Tea tree oil is now found in many over-the-counter treatments for skin irritations and cuts. Adding tea tree oil to a skin rash, small scrapes and even pimples, can help those areas heal.

Some essential oils work well to heal minor illnesses. Individuals who have problems with stuffy nose or congestion, may want to inhale peppermint oil may help to clear the nose and the sinuses. Essential oils are also very good for helping individuals relax, treating mild cases of depression and even for healing chronic headaches.

These are just a few common household uses for essential oils. Using essential oils in the above manners can help promote healing, relaxation while also providing a much safer way to cleanse and disinfect one’s bathroom, kitchen and other rooms in the house, without harsh or poisonous chemicals. Using essential oils is also less expensive and safer and then over-the-counter cleaners. The large amount of chemicals that are used to make these cleansers are believed to have long term health risks, including cancer.
