Who among us couldn’t use some pampering after this doozy of a year? Why not bring the spa to your loved ones with this lovely but super-affordable essential-oils set that everyone on Amazon is going bonkers over. Six bottles of fragrant oils—from lavender, which helps with sleep, to orange, which is energizing—help folks feel better, with nothing but a deep breath.
This Lagunamoon Essential Oils set—Amazon’s No. 1 best-selling aromatherapy kit—is being called “life-changing” by Amazon shoppers. It even has more than 40,000 perfect five-star reviews. You can use the oils in a diffuser, vaporizer, or bath—or dilute them with water for spritzing linens.
“These essential oils come in a cute gift set, but I like them for me because they are multi-purpose and I love the smell,” explained one happy customer. “I use eucalyptus in a vaporizer, perfect for flu or cough. I put some lavender in my pillow to help me sleep, and tea tree is excellent for healing cuts or acne.”
Studies suggest that aromatherapy is linked to physical and psychological well-being. Using essential oils for aromatherapy stimulates the olfactory nerve where memories and emotions live, thus impacting the body’s chemistry. The result? Depending on the scent, you can feel uplifted, calm, or even get pain relief.
For $10, you get six .33-ounce bottles of popular, pure essential oils: lemongrass (for clarity), peppermint (which aids concentration), orange (for peace), lavender (calm and cognitive function), eucalyptus (optimism) and tea tree (calmness). Just a couple of drops brings benefits.
“I am usually stressed out, and these have helped me so much,” wrote a reviewer who called them ‘life-changing.’ “I have a hard time falling asleep at night, and the lavender oil helps me fall asleep and stay asleep.”
This is a gender-neutral gift, so it might be perfect for everyone on your list. And you certainly need a set for your own home. Another reviewer said, “Me and my husband have very high-stress jobs. He works heavy equipment and gets a lot of headaches.... I've been rubbing one drop of the lavender on my husband’s wrist each morning, and it seems to help him relax.”
“I was surprised at how strong they are! I put a few drops in my diffuser, and it fills my entire house!” raved a buyer. “The one I really like is the peppermint. I get migraines a lot and have been putting a drop of peppermint oil behind my ears, at the base of my neck and on my temples.”
The same satisfied shopper added, “I'm very happy with this purchase! The price is reasonable. They also are packaged very nicely so if you wanted to buy some oils as a gift these would be perfect.”
