What Are Essential Oils?

If you were to walk into the woods or a garden and pick a peppermint leaf, pine needle, or any fresh herb, rub it between your fingers and smell your hand, you’d be smelling the essential oils from that plant. Aromatic, therapeutic plants are all around us and essential oils are the aromatic liquids distilled from those plants, trees, bushes, flowers, roots, and seeds.

Essential oils are concentrated through a careful distillation process, designed to maintain the integrity of the plant’s oils while producing a concentrated form much more potent than dried herbs. Each plant, and thus each oil, is comprised of hundreds of constituents, giving each essential oils its own unique properties.

This isn’t some trendy new technology or fancy health fad either. Essential oils have been used, and prized, for thousands of years, even dating back before Christ. The Egyptians used essential oils in their embalming process. The Bible reference essential oils such as frankincense, cedarwood, and myrrh. The Romans diffused essential oils to purify their temples and political buildings.
