This day is an opportunity for all to know about different essential oils that are available today and their benefits to all of us. As you celebrate International essential oils day 2022, we at Today News 24, have curated a list of 5 different types of essential oils and their benefits. How Can You Use Essential Oils to Help with Loss of Smell From COVID-19?
1. Lavender Oil
Lavender was used as a cleaning agent in many hospitals before antiseptics were discovered. It can help one with stress, pain and sleep. Therefore, you can add it to a bath or diffuser as aromatherapy, add it to water to make a room spray or body mist or even make it a body oil by mixing it with some base oil.

3. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is good for the skin and can help you get rid of acne and ringworms. To fight acne, take a few drops of tea tree oil on a cotton swab and apply it directly to the acne. In the case of ringworm, dilute the tea tree oil with a base or vegetable oil and apply it over the affected area.

The most important thing to keep in mind while using essential oils is to use them in a very little quantity or better diffuse them in a base oil for best results. Celebrate the International Essential oil day 2022 by knowing about different essential oils and their benefits.
Wishing everyone Happy International Essential Oils Day 2022!
