What are Essential Oils?
Have you ever enjoyed the scent of a rose?
If so, you have already experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils.
These naturally occurring, powerful compounds are found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other plant parts.
Essential oils are responsible for the distinctive smells of plants, and they play crucial roles in plant protection and pollination.
Beyond their intrinsic benefits to plants and delightful fragrances, essential oils have been used for centuries in food preparation, beauty treatments, and health-care practices.
The Potent Nature of Essential Oils
When you open a bottle of essential oil, its potent aroma is instantly noticeable, often detectable from a distance.
The unique physical and chemical properties of these aromatic compounds enable them to quickly move through the air and interact directly with the olfactory sensors in the nose.
This property makes essential oils ideal for aromatherapy applications, helping to maintain a healthy mind and body.
How to Use Essential Oils
Essential oils are versatile and can be used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications.
They can be utilized individually or in complex blends through one of three primary methods:
Aromatic Use
Diffusing essential oils can be either stimulating or calming and soothing.
Diffusion can also cleanse and purify the air.
Some popular essential oils for aromatic use include Cedarwood, Frankincense, Jasmine, Lavender, and Lemongrass.
Topical Use
Many essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically when diluted with a carrier oil, such as Fractionated Coconut Oil.
Examples of oils suitable for topical use include Eucalyptus, Rose, Sandalwood, and Ylang Ylang.
Internal Use
Certain essential oils have a rich culinary history and can be used as dietary supplements, either added to food or taken in veggie capsules.
They support various health conditions.
Some essential oils suitable for internal use are Basil, Black Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Coriander, Fennel, Ginger, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Peppermint, Rosemary, Spearmint, Tangerine, Thyme, Orange, and Oregano.
