Essential oils are compounds made from every part - leaf, stem, root, of plants and trees. They can be used singly, or in combinations to affect our health in specific ways.
Essential oils have been used throughout recorded history for medicinal purposes. They alleviate both physical and emotional conditions.
Ah! The fragrances...healing in and of themselves.
- peppermint
- lavander
- orange
- lemon
- rose
- eucalyptus
- cinnamon
- clove
- bergamot
- spearmint
And many more.
Healing oils can be inhaled, and rubbed on the skin. Often sweet oils like almond or apricot are used as a dilution.
Therapeutic grade oils are from organically raised plants, and are processed free of chemical contaminants.
"Fragrance" oils are often not organic, or pure. They are typically used to drop onto a candle, or mix into a lotion. But they are not considered a therapeutic or healing grade. It is always good to make those distinctions.
