Whenever someone is new to essential oils, it’s hard to know where to start- there’s just so 
many oils that do so much! If you or someone you know finds the idea of using essential oils intriguing, but wants to start off small, the beginner’s trio of lavender, lemon and peppermint are highly recommended as the best place to start incorporating essential oils into your everyday life.
Lavender– Many of us will recognize the scent of lavender for all things relaxing and sleep, from baby products to skin care products to massage products that contain this soothing oil. It can help relieve occasional stress, promote natural relaxation, encourage a deeper sleep, and soothe small scratches, cuts and other skin irritation.
Lemon– Cleaning products are what most people will recognize this citrus from, as a variety of household cleansers contain this bright smelling oil. Use lemon oil to make a natural cleaning solution, as a bright flavoring to water and tea, to gargle with to sooth a sore throat, for spot cleaning small sticky messes like gum on tables, and to use aromatically for an uplifting of mood.
Peppermint– Most people will associate peppermint with it’s breath freshening properties in gum and toothpaste, or as an aid for indigestion in the form of peppermint tea. This oil can be used for both those purposes and many more. Add peppermint to water to help prevent upset stomach, rub onto abdomen to soothe indigestion, apply to the forehead or back of the neck to reduce tension headaches, and diffuse in the air to help kids and adults alike wake up and focus.
