Use of Essential Oils began in Ancient times and were used widely by Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese for natural therapeutic effects, personal beauty, and spiritual rituals. The essence of the aromatic substance that is extracted from a variety of plant types are the essential oils. The substance comes from different plant parts such as seeds, roots, flowers, fruit peels, twigs, resins and leaves. Essential oils are vital to protecting and supporting its plant source, and this continues to do the same for all living beings.

Not all essential oils are equal, as pure, as powerful as another. Essential oils are made up of unique natural chemical compounds that can vary by the environment the plant or tree is grown in, such as the altitude, the amount of rain or drought, the soil, the temperature and even the time of year or day when it is harvested.

Using aromatic essential oils goes way beyond partaking in nice aromas, although that is a definite bonus. Knowledge of the chemistry of the essential oils is imperative to understanding how and why a certain essential oil should be used in different situations. Choosing with confidence a pure essential oil for it’s therapeutic properties is the definition of aromatherapy. Cultures of the past recognized the values of essential oils, now we have the science to confirm therapeutic properties exist.
