14 Awesome Uses For Essential Oils That You Never Knew About

Essential oils are extracts from all sorts of living things (normally plants and such) that are very concentrated in liquid form. Their uses are as different as all the plants they come from, so while this list is hardly exhaustive, it does offer up a good beginner’s guide as to how to use these remarkable effective solutions all around your house.

Whether it’s cooking, cleaning, or for your health, these things can do it all. See how below.

Just put five or ten drops of lemon oil on a damp rag, then toss it in the dryer with your clothes. The amazing scent will spread to every item in there!

Mix four drops of rosemary oil, four drops of tea tree oil, four drops of eucalyptus oil, and three drops of lemon oil with an ounce of water. Put it all in a spray bottle, then spritz the affected area.

Combine a half-cup of baking soda, a quarter-cup of hydrogen peroxide, five drops of bergamot oil, and five drops of lime oil. Mix it all together, then rub on the inside of the sink.

It’s a great alternative to all those cleaners with caustic chemicals.
