The Basics of Essential Oils

Essential Oils

Essential oils are defined as a group of volatile aromatic liquids or semi-solid liquids containing true plant essences. All of our essential oils are “uncut” and 100% pure. They contain no alcohol, extenders, or harmful chemicals. They are absolutely pure and of the highest quality. Because these oils are concentrated, a little bit goes a long way. Always use an eyedropper for proper amount. Buy our Essential Oils!

What are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are derived from various parts of plants using a distillation method. Essential oils are derived using a special proprietary low-pressure, low-temperature steam distillation system that protects and preserves the quality of the oils. Essential oils are not actually oils, but are rather concentrated liquid forms of the plant from which they were distilled. They are often used by either placing the oil directly on the skin or diffusing the oil into the air to allow it to enter the body through the lungs.

Essential oils are available as both “singles” and as “blends”. Singles are a specific plant (such as rose or ylang ylang) while blends are mixtures of two or more single oils. These blends are often based on a theme (such as Citrus Fresh or Immupower).

Essential Oils work differently from any other natural substance. Their unique features are that they:

  • Pass easily through our skin and cells membranes.
  • Diffuse through the entire body within half an hour.
  • Go directly to the brain through the olfactory bulb.
  • Affect our feelings and thoughts because smell is our most emotional sense.
  • Perform multiple functions because of their structural complexity. This is why one essential oil can do so many different things for you all at once “physically, emotionally, and mentally” with just a few drops in the air or on your skin.
