What's your favorite essential oil scent?

@PatientlyWaiting25 Love the smell of Jasmine 😊

@Intissima those are gorgeous oils 🙂

@Iwillwait agreed!

@FreeSpirit1 Got to love Lavender!🪻 There are several types available as essential oils and they all smell slightly different so are really interesting to compare them all if you especially like Lavender.

Most commonly sold and what most people know as lavender oil is true or English lavender (lavendula augustifolia) It's very calming and relaxing but look out for Spike Lavender or Lavendula Latifolia. It has a much higher camphor content so it's scent profile is stimulating and medical and I think slightly eucalyptus like. It's great for respiratory conditions and clearing congestion. 🪻🪻🪻

@PatientlyWaiting25 I love using it around the house , nice scent and helps repel insects

@myotherlife so useful! It blends well with lots of other oils and is good for pain relief as well as being anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and calming and lowers blood pressure. It's also adaptogenic and helps your body to regulate hormones. I think it has a place in every first-aid box. It is actually because of Lavender oil that Aromatherapy as we know it today took off. Google the story of Rene Maurice Gattefosse. He is the father of modern Aromatherapy 🙂

@PatientlyWaiting25 I will, sounds very interesting

@SW-User people either love it or absolutely hate it. 🙂

@MethDozer I love to burn the green sprigs of cedar. The smell of that smoke is soothing to me. Also love to smell the trees when it’s really hot outside and they get heated up and it intensifies the aroma.

@JimboSaturn my nan used to give me that mixed with malt extract 🤮🤢🐟

@PatientlyWaiting25 That's repulsive!

@JimboSaturn apparently it was very good for me though. Nan lived until she was 97 so she might have been on to something but yep.. definitely revolting 🤮
