It can help relieve stress, improve mood, relieve body aches and headaches, and promote sound sleep at night. Essential oils can also be taken, but only after consulting an expert. There are different ways to apply essential oils to different parts of the body. For maximum health benefits, follow these tips next time while using essential oil.
temple
Use rosemary oil to massage your temples and relieve stress and headaches. Mix 5 drops of rosemary oil with some argan oil and apply the mixture to both temples. Rotate your fingers clockwise first, then counterclockwise.
face
For your third eye chakra on your face, use 5 drops of frankincense or sandalwood oil with a little coconut oil. Apply the preparation in the middle of your eyebrows (your forehead) and massage them in gently. This will help calm the mind and increase focus.

Sitting in the same position for hours can cause neck pain. To get rid of the nasty neck pain, you can use chamomile oil. Put it on the back of your neck and massage it with your hand. This relieves pain by reducing muscle tension.

After long walks or stressful days, using eucalyptus or rosemary essential oils can be helpful. It will reduce pain and muscle tension. Take 2-3 drops of oil and gently apply to both feet and massage well for 5 minutes.
