Essential Oil Uses

Essential oil is the volatile part of leaves, roots, cortex, seeds and fruits of various flowers, plants and trees.

Aromatherapists consider the essential oils as the powerful soul of plants, because they come from the vital parts of agrarian plants, herbs and scented flowers and thus they have unique therapeutic properties.

The plants, in order to conserve their most volatile substances, should be picked at a specific hour of the day and in a specific season of the year.

The essential oils are produced with special techniques of infusion, expression and distillation and are excreted from special glands and pores of the plants.

In general, the lower the distillation temperature and pressure the better the essential oils.

Nowadays, aromatherapy essential oils are used for inhalations, massage, compresses, cosmetics, candles, bathing, spraying etc.

Many alternative therapists consider essential oils as the best way to look and feel well, to enjoy great health and vitality and to reduce stress.
