Essential Oils Uses and Benefits

 Introduction

Essential oils are extremely concentrated plant extracts containing the odor and medicinal qualities of plants, flowers, leaves, bark, and roots. Essential oils have been used by man for hundreds of years, and their application transcends cultures. By way of distillation or cold pressing, essential oils are gained in an attempt to preserve the actual essence of the plant, thus being concentrated and strong in its applications.

Contrary to other oils, essential oils are highly concentrated, and one needs only a small amount in order to get the full effect. They're also very handy and can be applied in countless ways—aromatherapy and skin care, hair care, household, and even psychiatric applications.

What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are concentrated plant liquids that contain the natural aroma and medicinal properties of plants. Essential oils are normally extracted from distillation or cold-pressing processes and have in them the concentrated essence of the plant, hence they are highly potent. Examples include peppermint, eucalyptus, tea tree, lemon, and lavender.
