Oil Guide

Essential Oil Basics

Essential oils are the most powerful part of the plant; the "life-blood" of the plant. They are distilled from shrubs, roots, herbs, bushes fruits, rinds, and resins. The word "essential" is because those fluids are what is necessary for hte plant to have life.

Essential oils have enhanced lives for thousands of years. Their fragrance is used to brighten our moods. They provide non-chemical properties alternatives to cleaning supplies and personal beauty supplies.

They are smaller than cells, and are even smaller than viruses themselves. They are so small that one drop of essential oils contains 40 million-trillion molecules. That 40,000 times the amount we have in our own bodies! This makes it easy for them to get into our bodies.
