Essential oils - trend or truth

Essential oils - trend or truth

Posted by Gideon Baldridge on

Essential oils have been a popular topic recently and so I wanted to see if this was just another passing trend. Essential oils have been used by humans for centuries to cure what ails them. Many people take essential oils internally and are now starting to use them with their pets.

One article I read explained beaver attack deterrent and mentioned that there are essential oils specifically for beavers to use. I can see how this could be become a popular trend since there are so many different uses and ways to incorporate them in to people's lives.

We’ve often heard the saying that fashion is fleeting but in the case of the market for essential oils, that’s considering true. In recent years, the demand for essential oils has increased by as much as 15% in just one year. In fact, the fastest growing consumer good have been much in demand items in the market of essential oils.

The market for essential oils has become valued at 60 billion American Dollars and growing. In comparison, the fastest growing segment of the consumer market is not in fashion such as we’d normally see on a runway show but in essential oils. It could be hard to say for sure if essential oils are a passing trend or not. However, there are many pro's to using essential oils to help with your mood, help you relax, heal the body, and manage stress.

There are also a few con's to using essential oils, such as the issue of not all the oils being pure, the price, possibility of reactions, and it's not always clear how to use them. For most people, the pros are worth it and that why they use them. The rising popularity of essential oils is entirely justified in light of their numerous benefits.

There are many types of oils that have different benefits, such as lavender oil, which can be used to promote relaxation or to treat inflammation, among other benefits. In addition, these oils are not processed with synthetic chemicals and can be ingested or applied directly to the skin, making them much more effective.

For this reason, the rise in their popularity is just one of many trends that are encouraging people to take their health into their own hands by relying on natural products like essential oils.
