Inhale slowly and deeply for five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only does tea tree oil smell wonderful, but it also is one of the most versatile essential oils<\/a> out there. It is commonly used in essential oil blends, natural beauty products, incense, and candles. A beginner in the world of essential oils should absolutely obtain tea tree oil. Make sure not to directly apply it on the skin because it is very strong.

Frankincense essential oil is derived from the Boswellia carterii <\/em>or Boswellia sacara <\/em>tree. This essential oil is commonly used in aromatherapy because of the stress-relieving properties<\/a><\/strong>.
