Essential oils deserve to be a staple in your house

New Delhi, June 22 As you cannot step outside to meet your friends or family to unwind yourself, try staying at home and resort to the traditional remedy of aromatherapy to beat stress.

Essential oils deserve to be staples in our home decor kit, medicine cabinet and bathroom shelf. Now, while it may seem ridiculous that these oils can do so much, once you use these products, you will realize that the hoopla exists for a reason. Mental health issues like depression and anxiety cannot be cured by essential oils. But they can significantly help provide comfort. For instance, a few drops of lavender oil can help relax people who find it difficult to sleep.

But what exactly are essential oils? For those new to this trend, these incredibly potent oils - some of which have been around for centuries - are extracted from plants to capture their flavors, scents, and overall beneficial properties, says Ankit Agrawal from Mysore Deep Perfumery House, popular for their flagship brand Zed Black, Manthan Dhoop, Orva Essential Oils.

They make for a great addition to your skin, hair, and healthcare collection, and can also be used for aromatherapy.
