What are essential oils?
Essential oils are extracted from various parts of a plant using a distillation method. Essential oils are not actually oils, but are rather concentrated liquid forms of the plant from which they were extracted. They can be used by massaging directly on the skin or diffusing the oil into the air to allow it to enter the body though the lungs.
Essential oils can be used as singles or blends. Single oil is one specific oil, for instance, marjoram or peppermint oil. Blends are mixtures of two or more single oils.
The way they work?
* Pass easily through our skin and cell membranes
* Diffuse through the entire body within a ½ hour
* Go directly to the brain through the olfactory bulb
* Affect our feelings and thoughts through our sense of smell since it is our most emotional sense
* Perform multiple functions because of their structural complexity

All oils bring oxygen to tissue to promote healthy cells. A single oil can benefit you physically, emotionally, and mentally in more than one way or one area of treatment.
