The Top 3 Essential Oils Every South African Home Needs

Essential oils have been used for centuries to support health, wellness, and everyday living. Whether you’re looking to ease stress, boost immunity, or refresh your space, the right oils can make all the difference. At AVIVA Essential Oils, we’ve crafted a range trusted by over 600 pharmacies nationwide — and today we’re sharing the three oils every household should have on hand.

🌿 1. Lavender Essential Oil – Calm & Relaxation

Lavender is often called the “mother” of essential oils — and for good reason. Its soothing aroma helps calm the mind, ease stress, and improve sleep quality.

How to use:

Add a few drops to your pillow or diffuser before bed.
Mix into a carrier oil for a relaxing massage.
Use in bathwater to unwind after a long day.

👉 Perfect for moms, students, or anyone needing better rest.

🌿 2. Eucalyptus Essential Oil – Breathe Easy

Eucalyptus is known for its refreshing, minty aroma and powerful respiratory benefits. It supports clear breathing, boosts immunity, and keeps your space fresh.

How to use:

Diffuse during colds or seasonal allergies.
Add to hot water for steam inhalation.
Blend with carrier oil and rub onto the chest for easy breathing.

👉 A must-have in winter or for families with kids.

🌿 3. Peppermint Essential Oil – Energy & Focus

Peppermint is cooling, refreshing, and energising. It relieves tension headaches, aids digestion, and helps with focus during busy days.

How to use:

Dab diluted oil on temples to ease headaches.
Inhale for instant energy during work or study.
Add to foot soaks for a cooling refresh after long hours.

👉 Ideal for students, athletes, or anyone needing a natural pick-me-up.
