What is an Essential Oil?
An essential oil contains the "essence" of a plant. These oils are distilled from the plants using various distillation methods, the most common method involving the use of steam. Essential oils are in some cases combined with milder oils in order to be applied topically to the skin. They can also be diffused into the air through the use of an oil diffuser. Many believe that these oils, when used properly, have positive effects on health, mood, mental performance, and more.
