An essential oil is a derivative of a natural substance, generally used for its healing properties or as a perfume or room fragrance. The essential oil of a plant is obtained by steam extraction, which is then distilled to separate the oils from the water. Citrus essential oils are obtained by cold pressing the peel of the fruit. Essential oils are highly volatile substances derived from either leaves, flowers, stems, wood or bark. The oil is named after the plant from which it comes.
These oils are called essential because they represent the essence of the smell and taste of the plant. They are often the part of the plant that protects it from diseases and parasites or that keeps away insects and animals that would like to eat it. Essential oils thus have many therapeutic virtues. The use of plants for healing is as old as humanity, which has always used them. Essential oils are the most active and powerful substances of the plant world. Essential oils generally have a broad spectrum of action. Their molecular composition is generally very complex. This is why modern perfumers most often turn to synthetic scents which are chemical products. It is easier to isolate a precise olfactory note with a chemical product that has a single molecule than with an essential oil that has many olfactory notes due to its molecular complexity. On the other hand, chemicals have many side effects that can be harmful to health. Thus, more and more people are becoming hypersensitive to modern perfumes and cannot stand to be around people who wear them.

Essential oils are used in aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is the science of healing with essential oils. Aromatherapy is well documented and used by countless health practitioners. Plants have been used therapeutically by all peoples since the beginning of mankind on this planet. Aromatherapy has long been recognized for its ability to work with the aromatic compounds of the plant kingdom. Aromatic compounds are very powerful and directly influence the oldest regions of the brain. The smell directly informs the physical body through the recent or old associations they evoke when the olfactory signal is picked up by the brain. Their broad-spectrum actions to purify, disinfect, eliminate fungi and spores as well as harmful physiological fungi and stimulate the immune system are among the most beneficial actions offered by essential oils.
Being very powerful, some warnings are necessary when using essential oils. Never use them pure on the skin or internally! Always dilute them in vegetable oil bases on the skin and internally. One or two drops are often enough. It is even recognized that essential oils are even more effective when diluted. Internally we can also put one drop in honey and take the honey pure or in an herbal tea.
