Essential Oils, what are they?

Essential oils are aromatic liquids that are extracted from plant sources. Highly concentrated, and far more potent than dry herbs, essential oils have been used throughout history to promote good health and healing. While most people are familiar with a few oils, they are unaware of how many essential oils exist and the vast number of ways that essential oils can be used. From natural remedies to gardening, to cleaning and cooking, using essential oils can easily help you reduce the amount of chemicals in your home.
