What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are made from a variety of different plant sources, roots, leaves, twigs, bark, flowers, seeds, blossoms, and some fruit skin. The essential oil is then extracted from the plant, generally through distillation creating a very concentrated substance that is like the lifeblood of the plant. The concentrated substance have many different chemical properties, which makes them very useful in a whole variety of different ways. They are most often used on the body, however they can be used in cooking, naturally scenting a room and clearing it from any old, stagnant energy.
How do Essential Oils work?
Essential oils enter the body by inhalation and by absorption through the pores of the skin. They affect the system in three ways: pharmacologically, physiologically and psychologically. Once inhaled, aromatic signals are sent to the limbic system of the brain where they exert a direct effect on the mind and the emotions.
The chemical constituents of the oils are carried in the blood and lymph to all areas of the body, where they react with the body chemistry in a way similar to drugs. Certain oils also have an affinity with particular areas of the body and their properties have a balancing, sedating or stimulating effect on body systems.
