Essential Oil uses

Essential oils have tremendous healing properties.  Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment technique that uses essential oils to improve physical, mental and emotional health.  Each type of essential oil has various healing benefits.

What Are Essential Oils?
​
Essential Oils are highly concentrated oils that are extracted directly from the bark, flower, fruit, leaf, seed, or root of a plant or tree.  Through this concentration process, the most powerful healing compounds of the plant are extracted into a single oil.  These plant derived therapeutic oils help protect the plant from insects and adapt to its surroundings. Essential Oils have been used throughout the 19th century, , but did not gain popularity until the 1980s, when they were added to lotions, candles and other fragrances. Now, aromatherapy is very commonly used by trained professionals.
