There is no limit when it comes to the supposed benefits of essential oils. With one created for every common qualm, they are bound to be a saviour in the lead up to Christmas at a time when allergies are at an all-time high and festive-related stress is peaking. Here, we pin down the essential oils you need from new-to-BD brand Twenty8 for those annoying but inevitable instances.
Allergies
You either know someone who suffers from allergies, or you are the unlucky recipient as soon as spring rolls around. But did you know essential oils with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and decongestant properties help relieve symptoms? Ginger harnesses an array of benefits for the mind and body, notably the ability to help relive coughs, sinus conditions, sore throats and even bronchitis. Patchouli is included in incense and perfume, but it’s also a lifesaver for easing everything that comes along with hay fever thanks to its high anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory power. Lastly, the combination of oils like eucalyptus and tea tree in the Immune Boost Synergy Blend acts as a decongestant.

It seems essential oils were made for the very purpose of destressing and relaxing, something that is vital during the aptly named ‘silly season’. No surprises here but lavender reigns supreme when it comes to promoting calm, but when combined with other soothing oils such as mandarin, orange, frankincense, roman chamomile and neroli, they work together to strengthen the nervous system. However lavender doesn’t have to be a feature all of the time; the De-Stress & Revive Synergy Blend combines everything from bergamot, sandalwood and neroli, to rosewood and grapefruit pink to steady the mind.
