Essential Oils for Spirituality
Aromatic herbs and oils, including essential oils, have been an integral part of the spiritual practices of many religions and cultures throughout history. Below are a list of some of the essential oils associated with particular spiritual applications.

Essential Oils Being Diffused
This is not intended to be a complete list. For instance, once in awhile, I feel called to use Manuka while meditating yet it isn't an oil generally known for its spiritual applications. If a particular essential oil personally speaks out to you, consider incorporating it within your own spiritual practices after you have learned about the oil and understand any warnings or contraindications associated with the oil.
