Aromatherapy uses essential oils to relieve stress and help the body to heal itself by stimulating│boosting its natural healing capabilities; but aside from this, there are also some lesser known facts and uses of essential oils that not too many people are aware of. Here is a list of these facts:

But that, many people, companies, and even scientists call it by this name because they are more familiar with it.

2. Most if it contains antibacterial properties. This means that it can be used as disinfectant to reduce the chance of infection. It can also be added to home cleaning solutions to further enhance│bolster the antibacterial components of it. Common oils that are known to have antibacterial properties are eucalyptus, lemon, tea tree, lavender, rosemary, peppermint and grapefruit. So, it is a good idea to always have a stock of any of these oils in the house.

3. You cannot patent essential oils. This means that you cannot find any of these oils in . And because of this fact, many companies are not interested in any way to invest money on research of these oils.

7. Last but not the least, here's a tip for testing the purity of any essential oils, just have a construction paper and drop a single drop of it into the paper. When there is a ring formed, it is not pure, maybe it is diluted. But these tests do not work on certain oils like patchouli and myrrh.
