Best Essential Oils You Didn’t Know You Needed

August 31, 2018 by Tiffany Davis Leave a Comment

The best essential oils are the ones you’ll actually use. I want to share first some of my most used, and trusted, essential oils; then we’ll move on to the 5 amazing essential oils you didn’t know you needed! The 5 Best Essential Oils You Didn't Know You Needed

The 5 Best Essential Oils You Didn’t Know You Needed

I love essential oils and I think there are some that should absolutely be part of your natural pharmacy, those are:

  1. Lavender
    Lavender is, what I call, a gateway oil. 😉 This is generally the first or one of the first essential oils that people will try and with good reason. Lavender essential oil can be a sleep aid, reduce anxiety, relieve pain and help with acne; not to mention is smells fantastic.
    See: DIY Lavender Lemon Cleaner, Lavender Mint Lip Balm and Healing Lavender Gardener’s Balm
    I recommend: Rocky Mountain Oil’s Organic Lavender


  2. Peppermint 
    Peppermint is my go-to headache reliever. Peppermint essential oil can also boost your mood, help digestion and soothe aching muscles.
    I recommend: Rocky Mountain Oil’s Organic Peppermint


  3. Frankincense
    Frankincense essential oil is said to aid in the prevention and reduction of wrinkles as well as other skin ailments. It can help with memory and reduce stress.
    I recommend: Rocky Mountain Oil’s Organic Frankincense


  4. Tea Tree
    Tea tree essential oil truly has some amazing health and wellness benefits. Check out Dr. Axe’s article on Tea Tree Oil.
    I recommend:  Rocky Mountain Oil’s Organic Tea Tree Oil


  5. Lemon
    Lemon essential oil has anti-infection, astringent, detoxifying, antiseptic, disinfectant, and anti-fungal properties; not to mention it can lift your mood and smells great!
    I recommend:  Rocky Mountain Oil’s Organic Lemon Oil


  6. Chamomile 
    Chamomile tea is often popular for a relaxing evening treat. But chamomile essential oil, specifically Roman Chamomile can help with PMS, anxiety, insomnia and may promote a healthier heart!

  7. Oregano
    Oregano essential oil is a powerful antibiotic! I have personally used it to fight a serious staph infection (I don’t recommend you stop seeing your doctor). Oregano is also anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant.

    I recommend: Rocky Mountain Oil’s Organic Oregano Oil

But today I want to talk about the 5 best essential oils you didn’t know you needed!

  1. Vetiver
    We discovered vetiver when we needed some help with anxiety – and boy did it ever help!  Vetiver essential oil can also help with, insomnia, healing (including reduction of scars) and may prevent bacterial infections. I will always have a bottle of Vetiver oil in the house!
    I recommend: Rocky Mountain Oil’s Vetiver but also check out their blends with Vetiver oil: Attention Assist and Feminine Aid


  2. Black Pepper
    Black pepper is so much more than your everyday spice! Black pepper oil can help you lower your blood pressure, cleanse the body, help with aches and pains as well as reduce cigarette cravings!
    I recommend: Rocky Mountain Oil’s Black Pepper Oil


  3. Melissa
    Melissa is not an inexpensive oil but when you consider its many benefits it is worth the investment. Melissa oil has antibacterial, antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiviral, bactericidal, carminative, diaphoretic, emmenagogue, febrifuge, hypotensive, nervine, sedative, stimulant, stomachic, sudorific and tonic medicinal properties. See 43 Uses of Melissa Oil

  4. Copaiba
    This is a newer oil to our natural pharmacy. Copaiba essential oil fight fungal infection, aid in high blood pressure, reduce pain and scars. It may also help with congestion. It is also said to moisturize skin and hair.
    I recommend: Rocky Mountain Oil’s Copaiba Oil


  5. Clary Sage
    Clary sage essential oil can help ladies with their hormone balance and menstrual pain. BUT it can also be used to reduce blood pressure and calm nerves. See more uses on Dr. Mercola’s page.
    I recommend: Rocky Mountain Oil’s Clary Sage and for women look at their Feminine-Aid blend

That’s my list of the best essential oils plus 5 oils you didn’t know you needed. There are so many amazing uses for essential oils. Not sure why I’m using Rocking Mountain Oils? See my post on Why I Switched Essential Oil Companies.
