Shop By Therapeutic Benefit
Pure essential oils possess wonderful aromas and they can be enjoyed simply for their wonderful scents, but they also have many amazingly powerful therapeutic benefits or properties. Essential oils are aromatic liquids derived from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, herbs, and seeds. They are the essence of the plant or tree from which they are derived.
Science is now confirming what has been known for centuries: essential oils have healing properties on both physical and emotional levels absorbed through the skin, and via the olfactory brain connection through inhalation. They have been considered among the most therapeutic and rejuvenating of all botanical extracts throughout the ages.
Essential oils are made up of naturally occurring chemical constituents. These constituents play a big role in defining the therapeutic benefits of a particular oil.
