Essential Oils

Picture

Essential oils are the highly concentrated version of the natural oils present in plants. Getting essential oils from plants is done with a process called distillation, most commonly distillation by steam or water, where many parts of the plants are being used, including the plant roots, leaves, stems, flowers, or bark. After distillation, the outcome is a highly concentrated portion also known as essential oil, which will have the characteristic fragrance and properties of the plant from which it was extracted. It contains the true essence of the plant it came from including the smell, the plant’s healing properties and other characteristics.

Essential oils are not the same as perfume or fragrance oils, which are also called aromatic oils or aroma oils. Perfume oils are artificially created in a chemist’s lab, while essential oils are a product of nature.

Essential oils vary greatly in quality and price depending on the rarity of the plant being used and its growing conditions. Prices also depend on the country of origin of the plant, the quality of the essential oil produced, processes and procedures used in the manufacturer of the essential oils.
