What Are They Anyway?
Essential oils are liquids that are generally distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots or other elements of a plant. Essential oils, contrary to the use of the word "oil" are not really oily-feeling at all. Most essential oils are clear, but some oils such as patchouli, orange and lemongrass are amber or yellow in color.
Essential oils contain the true essence of the plant it was derived from. Essential
oils are highly concentrated and a little goes a long way. Always remember:
More is not better! There are single essential oils, such as Lavender or Tea Tree Oil. There are also essential oil blends.
Essential Oil Blends are simply that, single essential oils that have been blended
for your convenience for easier application. All oils have certain characteristics
that are known to help with certain issues or ailments, blending several together
can maximize those characteristics as well. Our flagship products are considered Blended essential oils, they contain Sweet Almond Oil, Spearmint, Peppermint &
Clove essential oils. Some other blends are Allergy Trio & Pain Away. We can talk about these later.
Carrier Oils are vegetable oils derived from the fatty portion of a plant, usually from the seeds, kernels or the nuts. Essential oils, applied to the skin undiluted can cause severe irritation or reactions in some individuals. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential and essential oil blends prior to topical application. Each carrier oil
offers a different combination of therapeutic properties and characteristics.
Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for simple & complex
remedies to almost every ailment known to man. Essential oils have many uses
outside of aromatherapy. Many people use them to scent their homes or freshen
up things like laundry. They are also used as a natural scent in homemade
cosmetics and high-quality natural products.
