Essential OilsIf you are conscious about your health and always want to pick the healthiest and safest of products, you’ve likely thought of trying essential oils.

Yes, these plant and flower based natural oils find a variety of real world applications.

From cooking to aromatic therapies, and from skin allergies to hair care solutions, essential oils are known to help in a variety of ways. 

However, one can’t really know until they try. And before trying, anyone can have a bunch of questions that they want answers for.

Keeping that in mind, here we are discussing answers to seven of the most frequently asked questions about essential oils.

Question #1. Do Essential Oils Help With Hair Growth?

People who have been trying to improve their hair quality might have looked for answers to this question.

Well, the good news is that the following essential oils can help with hair growth:

  • Lavender Essential Oil
  • Peppermint Essential Oil
  • Cedarwood Essential Oil
  • Lemongrass Essential Oil
  • Thyme Essential Oil

And a few more like rosemary and clary sage essential oils can be useful for boosting hair growth and improving overall hair quality. And all of this comes with minimal chances of side effects at an affordable price. Plus, essential oils perform a variety of functions ranging from curing allergies to helping hair growth. There is even an essential oil for hormone balance. Fragrance oils are not much different from scents. Their primary purpose is to smell good.

You just need to mix them up with your regular oil or shampoo.

Question #2. Organic Essential Oils Are Generally Expensive. Is It Good to Use Regular Essential Oils?

The general purpose of using essential oils is to go chemical-free. However, if you aren’t ready to shell out the amount for buying an organic product right now, you need not worry. Regular essential oils can also serve the purpose.

Some reputable regular essential oil manufacturers ensure that topmost quality is maintained.

Just remember to read reviews before buying.

Question #3. Where Do Essential Oils Come From?

As mentioned earlier, essential oils are extracted from flowers, plants, barks, leaves, and roots, etc. Organic essential oils are free from chemicals, and hence they are more popular among users.

Apart from this, some companies manufacture essential oils that don’t cost as much as organic variants; thus, they are more affordable, but may contain chemicals to an extent.

Question #4. Do Essential Oils Expire?

Another, of the most common concerns that people have regarding essential oils is if they expire or not.

Well, the answer is yes. Even if an essential oil doesn’t have any synthetic chemicals, it is still composed of natural chemical compounds (like everything else in the universe). And so, after a point, it can expire.

However, the expiry span depends on quality. Pure and qualified essential oils can comfortably last for up to three years.

Question #5. Are Essential Oils Safe For Plants?

If you have plants in your house and want to keep pests away, you may want to know whether essential oils can help this purpose.

The answer is yes. Essential oils are good for keeping pests away from your garden and its plants without any side-effects.

Question #6. What’s the Difference Between Essential Oils and Fragrance Oils?

Just in case this question arises in your mind too, essential oils come from plants, flowers, barks, roots, leaves, etc. On the other hand, fragrance oils are synthesized in laboratories.

Plus, essential oils perform a variety of functions ranging from curing allergies to helping hair growth. Fragrance oils are not much different from scents. Their primary purpose is to smell good.

Question #7. Can Essential Oils Smell Bad?

The word “bad” is subjective and can mean different things to different individuals.

So, if you think that your essential oil is smelling bad, don’t worry. It doesn’t particularly mean that it has expired. Maybe you just don’t like the smell.

Also, the smell (whether good or bad) has nothing to do with the quality and performance of the oil.

Final words

If you are considering trying essential oils, you may have some questions about their usage.

In this post, we addressed seven of the most frequently asked questions related to essential oils.

Hopefully, this was helpful.
