The first of these oils is Lavender which appropriately comes from the flower of the same name. Lavender is mainly used as a calming influence. Many people like to drop a little Lavender on their pillows at night in order to help them sleep.
The second oil is Lemon oil. This is usually extracted from the leaves or flower of the Lemon tree. Lemon can be great when used as a cleansing agent and as such is beneficial to people with acne. It can also be used effectively in cases of headaches.
