Essential oils such as rosemary, tea tree, and eucalyptus help to create a peaceful and calm environment that stimulates the hair follicle. Warning: make sure you add a transporter to these essential oils, because they are very potent and can burn if applied directly to your skin and scalp. Extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil will work just fine.
