What are Essential Oils ?

Essential oils are aromatic essences extracted from different parts of the plant for example -- the petals (rose), leaves (eucalyptus), roots of grass (vetiver), bark (cinnamon), heartwood (sandalwood), citrus rind (lemon), seeds (caraway), bulbs (garlic), the avail or top parts of the plant (marjoram) or resin (frankincense) etc. In some case we get different essential oils from different parts of the same plant. For example, the orange tree produces 3 different smelling essences with different medicinal properties - neroli from the flowers petit grain from the leaves and orange oil from the rind of the fruit.

These essential oils have distinctive therapeutic, psychological and physiological properties that improve health and prevent illness. All essential oils have unique healing and valuable antiseptic properties. Some oils are anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, anti-depressant, stimulating, relaxing, expectorating, support digestion and have diuretic properties too.

Before using the oils, precautions should be taken. Essential oils should never be taken internally, and should always be well diluted in a massage oil or lotion before using on the skin. If you are pregnant, or breast-feeding, please be sure to consult a qualified Aromatherapist, before using essential oils in any way, as some essential oils can be harmful to your baby's health.
