| What is AN ESSENTIAL OIL? |
|
Plants contain complex and powerful substances known as essential oils. These are aromatic liquids derived from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. Essential oils have been used throughout time dating back to 4500 B.C. From perfumes and pleasant aromas to embalming and medicinal purposes, essential oils were used in everyday life for centuries. How do essential oils work? Our senses connect us to the world and allow us to respond to our environment. Essential oils fill our senses and trigger physiological and psychological responses in our bodies. There are three basic ways to use essential oils: inhalation, topical application, and internal consumption. Is quality a factor when choosing an essential oil? Too often cheap copies of essential oils can be potentially toxic. Many oils are derived with harsh chemicals, diluted, or copied and produced in a lab. It is imperative to exercise great care when choosing high-quality essential oils. There is a huge difference between oils that merely smell good and therapeutic-grade essential oils.
