Naturally cultivated and
steam distilled, these natural oils are extracted from the leaves, bark, flowers, roots,
nuts, berries, and fruit of various herbs, shrubs, and trees. Essential oils are very
strong and need to be diluted in water, or vegetable oil, when applied directly to the
skin. If redness or heat occurs, apply more vegetable oil.
When the strength of an essential oil is discussed, one
is not referring to the aroma, but rather the individual characteristics of the oil. Some
essential oils are thousands of times stronger then, say, their fruit counterparts. One
drop will do a lot! More is NEVER better when working with essential oils.
Use these wonderful oils for aromatherapy, skin care,
and overall well being. Please refer to the essential oil categories to the left to
help determine which oils will be most beneficial for you. |
