What are essential oils?
Essential oils are the fragrant essence of a plant. These highly concentrated liquid oils are the foundation of aromatherapy, many in which have unique healing powers.
Essential oils are extracted one of two ways: either by steam distillation, expression, or pressing. Distillation is the most prominent method used to extract aromatherapy oils, however, this technique involves steaming the plant matter until it breaks down.
