Essence of Essential Oils


Essence of Essential Oils

What's an essential oil - really?  Essential oils are highly concentrated natural products and must be used with respect.  Only one precious drop of rose otto essential oil is produced from approximately 30 rosebuds.  Essential oils are so highly concentrated that few may be used directly on the skin.  
The molecular structure of a pure plant essential oil is so small that within minutes after application, the oil can be detected on the breath and in the bloodstream!  Just imagine what benefits your skin will receive from the rapid absorption of these regenerative and beautifying wonders of nature!!  

Here are a few of some of the "famous" essential oils:
Lavender - known for its soft, floral, and herbal scent.  Its aroma is known for its relaxing, calming effect on the central nervous system.  Also can relieve sunburns, insect bites, cuts, blemishes, headaches.
Tea Tree - has a strong, medicinal odor.  Known as a potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral essential oil.  Helps heal acne, open wounds, and rashes.
Rosemary - has a crisp, lemony aroma that helps open sinuses, heal wounds, and stimulate hair growth.

Again - be sure to research an essential oil's properties before applying it to your skin or using products that contain essential oils.   

Happy Bathing!!!
