Essential Oils - Aromatherapy
What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the use of natural essential oils from aromatic plants for therapeutic purposes. It includes simply smelling the oils, but more often involves the application of oils to the body through a variety of application methods.
What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are concentrated extracts that are derived from an aromatic plants' leaves, roots, leaves, stems or blossoms. They are the quintessential expression of the plant. Imagine the growing season of the plant; the sunshine, rain, wind, soil and environment all combine to produce the oil in the plant.
How are Essential Oils Produced?
Ideally, aromatic plants are harvested when the essential oil is at the peak percentage in the flower, leaves, root, peel or wherever the plant stores its oil. After cleaning and sorting, the aromatic plant material is loaded into a still for the steam distillation process. Water is heated that rises through the plant material, helping to evaporate the essential oils that are carried out with the steam. As the steam recondenses, the oil and water naturally separate. Typically the oil floats and is skimmed off the surface of the water.
