Essential Oils For You
The way essential oils are made is important, as the essential oils obtained through chemical processes are not considered true essential oils. Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants. The oils capture the plant’s essence. Unique aromatic compounds give each essential oil its characteristic essence. Essential oils are obtained through distillation (via steam and/or water) or mechanical methods, such as cold pressing.
