What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of fresh cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in plant pollination.
Essential oils are non water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile aromatic compounds. Although they are fat soluble, they do not include fatty lipids or acids found in vegetable and animal oils. Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. Pure, unadulterated essential oils are translucent and range in color from crystal clear to deep blue.
Try this at home: Squeeze the peel of a ripe orange. The fragrant residue on your hand is full of essential oils.
In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Modern scientific study and trends toward more holistic approaches to wellness are driving a revival and new discovery of essential oil health applications.

When we get pure, unadulterated oils into our bodies (aromatically, topically or internally), our systems readily accept the addition as combat relief. The oils work in tandem with our systems to support the billions of processes taking place struggling to keep us well, despite the abuse we put ourselves through. It does take some time to figure out which oils work best with individual needs because of varying body chemistries and our innate uniqueness as a human race. We each respond differently to particular oils. The good news is, so many oils overlap in benefits, once you master how to experiment and find the right oils for your needs, your entire system of caring for yourself and your family will change.
Our bodies respond in a positive way to pure, unadulterated essential oils and the effects can be far-reaching. The oils work systemically, meaning each system of our body can intuitively use the essential oil in a way that improves function, which then has a ripple effect to our other systems. The reason why they oftentimes work better than synthetics is our bodies recognize essential oils as natural, carbon-based helpers. When synthetics enter our body, our systems can get into a dramatic battle to find balance between the parts that are helping and the parts of that are not.
