What Are Essential Oils?
Now that you know some of the ways essential oils are used, you may be wondering how they do this and exactly what they are.
In a Nutshell...
An essential oil is a concentrated liquid usually obtained from various parts of a plant. Roots, leaves, flowers, seeds, limbs, etc.
Essential oils are highly volatile, that's why they are sometimes also called volatile oils - meaning they evaporate quickly after coming in contact with oxygen.
Essential oil is the life essence of a plant. Meaning, that this “essential oil” drawn from the plant is what the plant itself uses to help with infection control, humidity control, hormonal effects wound healing, and attracting or repelling insects, birds, and animals! Plants work within an environment to help control that environment.
Essential oils do not feel oily; they are called "oils" because they contain the oil-soluble compounds in the plant.
Which Means...
Essential oils are aromatic, highly concentrated plant extracts that are carefully obtained from the plant through steam distillation, resin tapping, or for citrus plants, cold compressing.
Oils are harvested from farm-grown or wild-crafted plants, herbs, and trees. The oils inside a plant are extracted into a highly concentrated and beneficial form with this process.
It has been said that the purest essential oils are far more potent than the plants from which they’re derived. It only takes a drop or two at a time.
