Essential Oils

From MedicineNet.com - Essential oils: An oil derived from a natural substance, usually either for its healing properties or as a perfume. Some pharmaceuticals, and many over-the-counter or "holistic" remedies, are based on or contain essential oils. Examples include products containing camphor or eucalyptus that help relieve congestive coughs, and the essential oils used in the practice of aromatherapy.

Herbs, Aromatherapy, Essential Oils

Essential oils are some of the most powerful tools in medicine. Some oils are over 100x stronger than their chemical pharmaceutical counterpart. Essential oils are highly concentrated botanicals distilled from the flower, leaf, bark etc. of medicinal plants.

You have heard the terms Aromatherapy, Herbalism, and other Natural Healing terms. How are Essential Oils involved? When using herbs or supplements, the most common delivery method is to ingest the product. You might take Chamomile as a capsule, or drink Chamomile tea. Both are made from dried forms of the Chamomile flower, containing very small amounts of the flowers oil. Chamomile Essential oil, however, is highly concentrated, and is used externally. For example, when having a cup of chamomile tea, the amount of oil that would be present in the tea from the dried plant material would be very small, while if you use chamomile essential oil while doing massage therapy, it would be dramatically more (even when diluted in the carrier oil) than what you would ever find in your tea.
