When you smell a fragrant rose or cut into a very juicy orange, you are smelling the essential oil of that plant. The essences are formed through the process of photosynthesis and extracted by various methods suitable to the plant.
How are essential oils used?
Essential Oils are used in many ways. We may first be introduced to the benefit of Aromatherapy when we enjoy a soothing bath, or smell the fragrance when it is diffused in the air. Essential Oils can be used to heal aching muscles, relieve stress, or lift the spirit.
The world of Aromatherapy can be as simple as a bottle of pure Lavender Oil, renowned for its soothing properties, or a bottle of pure Tea Tree Oil, often known as "medicine in a bottle", for its remarkable properties in topical healing. Many of the people who fall in love with these wonderful plant essences, go on to create their own personal fragrances and treatments. Whether you need to relax, balance, or stimulate your body, mind, or spirit, there is an essential oil that can help.
What is the difference between an Essential Oil and a fragrance oil?
People are often confused by the difference between an essential oil and a fragrance oil. An essential oil is pure plant material with therapeutic properties, while a fragrance is synthetically derived with no healing value.
Why is there such a big price difference in essential oils?
Price on any quality essential oil is determined by many factors. Most important is availability of the plant and how difficult it is to extract. For example, the difficulty of extracting rose oil from the plant causes it to be a very expensive substance. A rose blossom contains only 0.02% essential oil. It takes about 60,000 roses to produce an ounce of oil or 2 1/2 dozen roses to produce a single drop. On the other hand, citrus is abundant in essential oils and more easily extracted, making it an excellent value. Some rare oils are often in very short supply.
What are carrier oils?
Carrier oils are pure oils usually derived from nuts or seeds. They can be used alone, as excellent skin conditioners, or as an oil "to carry" the essential oils. Some of the favorite carrier oils are almond, apricot, avacado, and grapeseed. Start with a few ounces of carrier oil and add an essential oil, drop by drop, until it is just right for you. Remember that these wonderful oils are not "oily". These are pure products that are easily absorbed into the skin.
