Here at Mood Essential Oils we know just how great essential oils benefits can be. Not only do they smell amazing, which they really do. But they also have a number of benefits and uses too.

It is important to remember that there is no guarantee on the benefits of essential oils. Instead, these are some of the things that those who use them have said they can help with.

A bug spray
