ESSENTIAL OILS
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are organic compounds extracted from plants’ parts, the bark, flower, fruit, leaf, seed or root of a plant or tree.
They are typically created through the process of distillation which separates the oil and water based compounds of a plant by steaming. By concentrating the oils of these plants, it separates the most powerful healing compounds of a plant into a single oil. Essential oils are highly concentrated oils that have a strong aroma. For instant, to get a single 15ml bottle of rose essential oils, it takes 65 pounds of rose pedals.
These therapeutic oils in plants protect the plants from insects, shield the plants from a harsh environment and help them adapt to their surroundings. In using essential oils, we are harnessing the protective and healing powers of the plants.
