You’ve probably heard of essential oils before and as people look for natural ways to stay healthy (and make their homes smell nice as they spend more time indoors), they continue to grow in popularity. Essential oils offer many health benefits and are a natural way of better health. With so many essential oils to choose from, it may seem overwhelming to know where to start. Here are just a few essential oils that you can use daily for better health.

Peppermint

Peppermint oil is ideal for when you need to focus – just a whiff of it can increase your concentration. It’s great to have handy while at work as most of us benefit from a little brain boost during the day. It is also helpful for upset stomach, headaches, and even neck pain

Lemon

Lemon has natural antiviral, antibacterial, and antihistamine properties. It is an excellent natural cleaner and can be used to make your own cleaning products as it helps kill bacteria and gives off a fresh scent. It can also be used for insect bites or wounds and a few drops in your shampoo can stimulate hair growth and invigorate your senses in the morning. Be mindful of using lemon essential oil on the skin (like in lotions) as it can increase sun sensitivity.

Oregano

Sure, you’ve heard of oregano for in your kitchen, but did you know oregano essential oil has many health benefits? Diluted oregano oil is often used to help speed up muscle recovery and can help get rid of warts, ringworm, and athlete’s foot. It is even known to help get rid of internal parasites!

Lavender

Diffusing lavender oil is helpful for reducing stress, promoting calmness, and promoting better sleep habits. It can also help support skin health and digestion. Just the smell alone is reason enough to enjoy lavender in your home!

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

- Erica Payne

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

“The online store is wonderful. It is very convenient for those busy and always on the go. I love all the purchase options. From supplements to oils and even honey can be purchased from your computer or smart phone. I look forward to a search option becoming available as there are so many products offered.”

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

-Debbie Fambro

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
