Essential Oils

An essential oil is a volatile aromatic liquid that is generally distilled from the stems, leaves, flowers, roots, bark or seeds of a plant. Containing the true essence of the plant it was derived from, essential oils are highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs as they contain many of the natural chemical constituents found within the plant. While essential oils have been known and used by man for thousands of years, it has only been since the 1930s that medical researchers have documents their effects. Essential oils have tremendous benefits when inhaled or applied topically. As essential oils are applied, they enter the bloodstream quickly, where they exert measurable effects upon the bodymind.

The science of using essential oils is commonly known as aromatherapy and is used to promote psychological and physiological well-being. For best results, only pure and natural essential oils should be used. When looking for an essential oil, demand 100% pure therapeutic-grade oils, carefully grown and prepared to deliver the maximum bioactivity, energy and chemical profile of the living plant.
