Essential Oils
(Please select the Back

to return to the previous
page)
The essential
oils of herbs contain their concentrated energies. An essential oil usually
bears the aroma or flavor of a plant, although the intensity of the scent
may be intense compared to what you're used to the plant itself smelling
like. Essential oils are volatile. This means they evaporate rapidly at
room temperature, whereas fixed oils, such as vegetable or motor oils,
are more stable.
The oils themselves are found
in various plant parts. Peppermint, patchouli, basil and geranium oils
are derived from their leaves and stems. Clove oil comes from flower buds.
Jasmine, rose and tuberose oils are derived from the open flowers.
Essential oils are also derived from the seeds, wood, bark, roots, needles
and skins of various plants.
In addition to using essential
oils through inhalation of their scents—through tea-light diffusers, candles,
or potpourri pots, electric diffusers, or in baths, one can also apply
many diluted essential oils directly on the skin through massage.
Because essential oils are
so concentrated, it is usually best to dilute (almost always) them with
a neutral carrier
oil. Remember, even such oils as lavender, tea tree, sandalwood
and rose should be diluted before use on the skin to avoid possible sensitization.
Our Pure, Undiluted,
Essential Oils come in convenient 15-ml (1/2 fl. oz.) and 5-ml (1/6 fl.
oz.) dropper bottles. Prices and availability of pure essential oils
may fluctuate according to crop and market conditions.
