Visit our Mother's Day" page for beautiful soaps and gift ideas for Moms. Essential Oils
Essential oils are concentrated oils extracted from plants and therefore they carry a distinctive scent, or essence, of the plant from which they were extracted.
Most commonly essential oils are extracted through a distillation process, but other methods are also employed, depending on the source and application. Throughout history essential oils have been used medicinally to treat a variety of health problems. In todays modern world claims of medicinal value of these oils are subject to scientific scrutiny and regulations in most countries.
However, essential oils have gained popularity throughout the Western world in alternative therapies, such as aromatherapy and for use in massage oils. They are also used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and other products, for flavoring food and drink, and for adding scents to incense and household cleaning products.
All of our essential oils are true, undiluted essences extracted directly from a variety of flowers, fruits, leaves, barks, roots, herbs and spices.
We offer essential oils in standard 30 ml bottles, but different sizes are available upon request.
IMPORTANT:
All of our products are for EXTERNAL use only. Please read warnings carefully and never use oils undiluted.
