Essential Oils are the essence of every plant, its heart and its soul! They are the pure unadulterated steam distillations and expressions of flowers, fruits, leaves, woods, roots, and grasses. Some have called essential oils the soul, or life-blood of plants. They are the concentrate of aromatic compounds found within plants.

Most essential oils are volatile (they quickly evaporate), this is where their extraordinary abilities stem from. Their fine molecules are passed readily into the bloodstream.

They have been used for centuries in perfumes, medicines, foods, cosmetics and to enhance spiritual ceremonies. Now we use them in many of the same ways; as "lemon" disinfectants, in healing ointments, peppermint in toothpaste, mixed into food flavourings, perfumes, deodorants, soaps, salves, and in the finest botanical body and hair care items.

Essential oils are made from the roots, wood, foliage, fruit, and flowers of a variety of different plants.

By using steam distillation, expression, expeller pressing, and cold pressing to extract the essential oils.

Nearly every country in the world has native plants that we get essential oils from. Many oils are named in part by their original location. Virginia Cedarwood, Roman Chamomile, Siberian Fir Needle, etc..

Over the past two centuries most essential oils have become commodities (like corn, coal, oil, gold, etc..). Many countries now strive to produce the best or the largest quantities of what they now consider a valuable natural resource. And all countries are in competition to be the leading supplier of the different essential oils.
