Answers: the ones i can use for more than one thing?
The eight most useful are generally considered to be:
Bergamot
Chamomile
Tea Tree
Eucalyptus
Ylang Ylang
Geranium
Lavender
Rosemary
I also use Lemon, Peppermint and Rose Otto frequently.
Wesson?
You really need to do a lot of reading before you use the oils.
Some can be dangerous and you need to know safety precautions.
Good luck. it's a lot of fun.
The one I use the most is peppermint oil - headaches, allergies, nausea, great if you are going to paint- to get rid of paint smell.
I also use eucalyptus oil in the winter- stuffy nose, cough.
Kind of depends on whether you are using for health or for cleaning or mental properties.
Coconut oil... best oil for everything! You can eat it, you can put it on burns, scratches, cook with it, anything you name it. What exactly do you want it for?

chamomille oil, lavender, tea tree oil (For medicinal use) it does'nt smell good at all. possibly grapefruit and rosemary oils. the top 3 i listed tho have multiple uses.
You might want to consider the using the folloeing essential oils-spearmint-peppermint-eucalyptus-Aus... tea tree oil-citronella-basil-rosemary-lavender.M... of these items are great as deterrents against rodents and insects(I read an article that if you put a few drops of peppermint e.o. on a cotton ball and put it near the entrance to the rat hole-the pest will not come around!!).If you want to use these oils on the skin,make sure you mix it with any type of oil (olive oil-coconut oil-grapeseed oil)so as not to irritate the skin.
Virgin Coconut Oil...
Lavender Essential Oil is best for migraine headaches, stress, to unstuff the nose, to clear the brain of fog. It is mild enough to put straight on a cut or scratch immediately. Gently rub it into bruises as soon as they appear to help them disappear quickly. Combine this with Eucalyptus (15 drops each) in a spray bottle of water and you have an all-purpose cleaner that is antibacterial and anti-viral and anti-fungal that also smells good. This same spray can be used to freshen up a room as a room deodorizer. Eucalyptus can also be used for foot fungus (think Vicks Vapor Rub) and to unstuff the nose also. The same solution but with double the Eucalyptus can be used to clean your floors and tubs and sinks.
You want to buy an all-purpose essential oil or just want to try one. A good one to start with is lavender, which blends well with almost any oils and has extensive therapeutic properties.

There is no need for oil. There are plenty of fossil fuels and natural gases that we can use. But we are in cooperate America and money talks. You know how the rest of the saying goes.
