PRESENTATION & LINKS
Essential Oils
1. DEFINITION
Essential oils are natural oils typically obtained by distillation. They have characteristics of the plant or original source from which it is extracted.. Basically, they are the PURE ESSENCE OF THE PLANT.
2. EXAMPLES
To name a few, Lavender, Orange, Eucalyptus, Rose
3. Uses/Prices
There are literally hundreds of uses for Essential oils; skincare and beauty, relaxation, natural health remedies, air purification (Diffusers) and even to clean your house!
I personally enjoy using Orange oil in my water throughout the day, to keep me energized.
Pricing can vary based upon the type of oil and the quality. For instance, to make Lavender oil, it takes 250 pounds of flowers to produce 16 oz. of oil, and for rose it takes 5,000lbs or rose petals for 16 oz. Obviously, rose is much more expensive to buy.
4. PRECAUTIONS
Not all essential oils are alike, and can vary with each company. The best oils will be Certified Pure Therapeutic grade, such as Doterra, which I like to use. Because Essential Oils are so powerful, there are many precautions to their use.
#1 READ THE LABEL; if it is an oil that you can ingest, it should be listed on the packaging. Remember, LESS IS MORE!
#2 If pregnant or nursing, consult your doctor first.
#3 If suffering from an illness, also consult your doctor first.
