Essential oils are derived from plants- sometimes the flower, seed, stem or other important parts. The purest of the earth right in your hand!

Lavender to soothe cuts and ease PMS: Reach for it to soothe scrapes and stings. A few drops of lavender oil combined with the same amount of rose oil, plus an ounce of sweet almond oil, may ward off painful menstrual cramps when massaged on the abdomen.

How Fragrance Can Lift Your Mood: Lift your spirits with a spritz? Sure! "Research has shown that certain scents can change your mind-set and promote specific behavior," says Pamela Dalton, PhD.

Cedarwood for hair loss and skin irritation: Blended with rosemary, thyme, lavender and a carrier oil and rubbed into the scalp, it can help with hair lossin one study, 44 percent of women saw new growth. Or pair with melted coconut oil to soothe eczema.

Peppermint to stop headaches: In one study, rubbing this oil (mixed with alcohol) into temples soothed headaches. In another, a massage with peppermint and eucalyptus oils (also combined with alcohol) reduced post-workout muscle cramps.

Tea tree oil fights infections: Antifungal, antiseptic and antibacterial, this oil is so potent that it has killed MRSA and staph in lab settings. Mix it with a carrier oil to fight off athlete's foot, acne and dandruff, or add a couple of drops to a squirt of your shampoo.
