Using an essential oil diffuser is a great way to maintain your body’s ability to relieve stress and anxiety simply through breathing. Chamomile is also one of the few oils safe to use on children and provides parents with additional options for helping restless children or infants.
2. Grapefruit

Additionally, grapefruit oil can easily mix with clergy sage oil, which may help with menstrual cramps and irritation. For women, this is especially helpful for hard days where you feel an unbalanced synergy and could use some stability.
3. Lavender
Lavender is a popular oil because it’s known to help various ailments and is famous for its fragrance.

5. Cypress
