When people experience a minor headache, muscle tension or other pain, they readily reach for over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen—the most commonly used drugs.

As a natural skin care formulator, I tend to focus a lot on properties from butters, carrier oils and essential oils that I can combine to achieve results and provide solutions for my clients. When I think of using natural remedies, my first point of call is essential oils and their benefits.

As fall rolls in, we begin to feel more aches as the warm weather gives way to cooler temperatures, so I thought, how about I give you a simple short list of pure essential oils that you can try.
