Essential oils
The term essential oil is used a lot more these days, but not everyone really knows what an essential oil is.
And let me start by saying that perfume oils and scented oils and other similar terms are NOT the same as an essential oil.
An essential oil is the natural oil derived form a plant - leaves, stem, roots, flowers, etc can be used in different types of plants.
The oils may be collected in a number of different ways and some oils are easier to produce than others. Note that this difference is why genuine essential oils vary in price between oils, which is one useful way to pick the less-than-pure oils available.
Essential oils are concentrated and usually too strong to put directly onto your skin. Their beneficial properties are not just the belief of some aromatherapists and the like - research has shown they have qualities that can be of use to humans. For example, eucalyptus and tea tree oils are well known for their antiseptic properties.
You can buy essential oils and products containing these oils for use in the home and for your family’s health.
