Essential Oil Basics
About Essential Oils
Essential oils have enriched lives for thousands of years, offering a variety of benefits. They are used in cosmetics, nutrition, for physical and emotional wellbeing, as well as spiritual and religious practices.
Essential oils are aromatic compounds found in flowers, leaves, bark, stems and roots of plants.
They are extracted through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing. The purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals from which they come.
You can access the power of essential oils in many ways, but the most common practices include aromatic diffusion, topical application, and dietary consumption. These methods bring the pure essence of health-promoting botanicals to your home, family, and life.
