Same as beginning a new hobby, job, or even sport, you should always know what or who you are working with and how to perform the task or play the sport. Similarly, when beginning your journey with essential oils, you should understand what it is, why do you need them and how do you use them? So, let’s get down to business.

What?

Essential oils are basically compounds that are extracted from different beneficial plants. Each essential oil is different and unique due to the compounds extracted from the plants and often has a much stronger scent than the plants they come from due to the higher active ingredient content in the extracts… These compounds are what give the essential oils their unique scent and taste. These extracts are highly concentrated, all-natural, and usually needed to be diluted with carrier oils before directly applying them to the skin. These oils are very volatile, they evaporate at a quicker rate compared to regular oils allowing for the wonderful aroma of these oils to fill up the space in any room. 100% pure essential oils mean that the extracts are obtained from plants and immediately bottled whereas some manufacturers often would like to increase their production yield by mixing the pure extracts with carrier oils. Thus, these oils are not labeled as 100% pure essential oils but are known as mixtures instead.

Where?

The oils are usually extracted from various parts of the plant such as the flowers, bark, leaves, roots, seeds, fruits, or other parts of the plant. There are multiple ways to extract the essential oils from a plant. The most common being steam/water distillation or mechanical methods such as cold pressing or maceration...

Why? When? Who?

Natural/traditional medicine practitioners believe in aromatherapy and have been using essential oils for a long time to treat various ailments. Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils medicinally to improve the health of the body, mind, and spirit. It is a known fact that essential oils have various functions. Many studies have shown that using these oils in aromatherapy has many wonderful benefits that can help treat a wide range of physical and mental conditions.

How?

During aromatherapy, after inhaling the scent of the essential oil, the molecules in the scent travel through the olfactory nerves directly to the brain where it mainly impacts the amygdala which is the center of emotions in the brain (limbic system). Aside from inhaling the scent of the essential oils, another method for aromatherapy is allowing the oils to be absorbed through the skin, the largest organ of the body. When the essential oils are massaged onto the skin, it is absorbed into the bloodstream. The bloodstream carries the oils all over the body. To increase the effectiveness of the oils, massaging it into the skin allows for faster absorption and enhances blood circulation. The heat from the friction also allows for better absorption of molecules in the oil into the bloodstream. To learn the various ways how to use essential oils, read Essential Oil For Beginners.
