Understanding Essential Oils
Essential oils are compounds extracted directly from bark, flowers, fruit, leaves, seeds, and roots. The process of distillation separates the oil and water-based compounds. Essential oils are believed to have healing properties and are used in holistic treatment to improve physical, mental, and emotional health.
Every type of essential oil has its own unique smell and potential health benefits. Essential oils can be used to fight cold and flu symptoms, relax the body, reduce pain, balance hormones, improve skin conditions, and more.
