Question:- Considering it is the peak of monsoon, what essential oils or blends would you recommend for this season and why are they effective?
Monsoon brings its own challenges like torrential rains, humid weather, increased risk of infections, seasonal allergies (skin care products for monsoon season) and general lethargy. To combat these issues, experts recommend essential oils of tea tree, lemongrass, rosemary, peppermint, eucalyptus and lavender. These e-oils are perfect for overcoming stuffy nose, various infections and feelings of depression, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
