We share the theory that
ultimately, everything we residents of this amazing planet need for healing
comes from what grows under our feet. And towers, ancient and wise, above our
heads. Essential oils are extracted from the leaves, flowers, branches, bark,
seeds and roots of special plants. By several methods�mostly steam
distillation--these oils are coaxed into the purest, most concentrated liquid.
The essences of these healing plants are carefully bottled and left to people
such as aromatherapists to use them alone or in special blends, with or without
other natural substances. Once they are inhaled or absorbed through our skin,
they trigger our bodily systems into healing modes.
The oils come from all
corners of the world; both time and science have demonstrated their
effectiveness for a host of conditions. Each plant part produces different
amounts of essential oil. For example, it requires about four thousand pounds of
Bulgarian Rose petals to make one pound of oil. Citrus oils are among the less
expensive oils. So, essential oils do vary widely in price. In time, you�ll get
to know the characteristics of a quality oil. Meanwhile, inhale the
experience�down to your toes!
Essential oils
are not just another pretty scent. While ethereal vapours sail into our nose,
through our olfactory bulb, and into the limbic system of our brain, we enjoy a
pleasant sojourn in their unique, honest scents. Meanwhile, we reap the
healthful benefits of their powerful properties. Not a bad alternative when it
comes to promoting wellness.
