Recently years, the market for developing herbal medicine is faster than chemicals (Western medicine) in European Union. It is reported that Switzerland is doing a study to prove the importance, possibility and limitation of herbs as alternative medicine. Once they get the evidence, the herbs would be more and more popular in the near future.
I would like to introduce two famous herbs that have been used as herbal remedy through the way of aromatherapy.
The first one is Lavender: Lavender with a pleasant smelling which can relieve anxiety, stress and can treat for insomnia. So, it is very popular in aromatherapy. As we know, a poor sleep will drain our energy, so it is important for us to have a good sleep. Now, I would like to show you how to use the lavender essential oil to help ourselves at home. For example, put one drop of essential oil on a handkerchief or tissue and tuck it under your pillow. Or you can add 5 drops into the bathtub during you are taking a bath. The two simple ways will make you relaxed and fall sleep easily.
The second one is Peppermint: Peppermint is often used to flavor foods in our daily life. Such as, ice cream, chewing gum, and toothpaste and so on. In herbal medicine, it has been used to soothe upset stomach, and headache. It is an easy for us to use essential oil to relieve headache. First, inhale directly from the bottle or rub with a little essential oil under the nose and at the temples. It will lessen the symptom of your headache.
