5. Essential oils.
There are a lot of different Essential oils out there, so I'll tell you a couple that I use.
Tea-tree oil is great for putting on those fresh pimples you just noticed while brushing your teeth. It drys out the area and makes it impossible for bacteria to grow, thus getting rid of the pimple before it has a chance to even surface.
Eucalyptus oil is something I use when I have a really bad cold, and I'm stuffed up. All you do is put about 5-6 drops in a bowl of steaming hot water, put a towel over your head and the bowl, and breath deeply for about five minutes.
These are all great alternatives to a lot of things that aren't so healthy.
I hope that you found this post rather informative.
