The annual output of the world is only over 10,000 Jin, which is more expensive than gold, and most people can't afford it. However, the efficacy of rose oil is average.
A single essential oil is only effective for several symptoms. If several kinds of essential oils are mixed consciously, sometimes their synergistic effect can be used to improve the curative effect and expand the scope of treatment, but the mixed fragrance should be considered. The influence of fragrance on people's mood is also an important part of essential oil bath. Although depression and malaise are not diseases, they are also people's "third state" (a transitional state between health and disease). Taking a bath with essential oil with special fragrance will greatly boost people's spirits after taking a bath, even forgetting minor injuries and illnesses, and you can devote yourself to work, study and entertainment, which is also a major effect of essential oil bath.
