What is the healthiest essential oil?
Lavender – best overall. Lavender oil is a versatile, “do-it-all” essential oil. It can fight skin infections, reduce inflammation, alleviate depression symptoms, relieve stress, and much more. Inhalation of lavender essential oil has been shown to influence the limbic system, the brain’s emotional center, reducing cortisol levels and slowing heart rate (conrad & adams, 2012).
