What is an essential oil?
Poetically called the "life force" of a plant, essential oils are very complex.
Essential oils are stored in special cell, ducts, or glandular hairs that are distributed among the roots, leaves, bark, stems and flowers of the plant.
Uplifting, protective, calming and regenerated essential oils-a unique gift from the plant world.
A single oil may contain hundreds of constituents that are molecularly aligned in exactly the right manner to trigger a nuber of responses in the human body. VEry concentrated and very powerful, a drop or two of distilled therapeutic-grade essential oil produces quick and significant results.
Essential oils protect the plant from insects and other herbivores, form bacteria, molds, fungi, and othe rmicroorganisms, and also helps to heal inflicted woulds. These unique characteristics make essential oils highly beneficial to human kind.

Scents... How Essential Oils Work
Our senses connect us to the world and allow us to respond to our environment, Essential oils fill our senses and trigger physiological and psychological responses in our bodies.
The Sense of Scent ~ Fragrance is the substance of memories. One whiff of a childhood aroma can set the memory in motion, bringing back thoughts, faces and feelings long forgotten. How does this happen? Fragrance is consists of volatile molecules that float in the air. Million of olfactory receptor cells line the nose. Aroma causes these nerves to fire and send messages to the limbic area of the brain.From there, the messages travel to the other parts of the brain, activiating thought and memory. The pituitary gland is also stimulated to release chemical messages that travel via the blood to glands and organs that create physical body responses. Hence, a scent has the power to activate a number of physical and emotional responses. It happens in less than a second!
The Sense of Touch ~ Because of their molecular structures, essential oils are rapidly absorbed when applied to the skin. Silky smooth to the touch, they penetrate the outer layer of skin. It is often possible to smell some oils on the breath shortly after applying them to the body. Upon reaching the dermal layer of skin, essentila oils lead to different effects, depending on the type of oil applied.
The Sense of Essential Oils ~ Essential Oils - non greasy yet soft and soothing - are different from common vegetable oils. Pure essential oils are rapidly absorgbed or inhaled and rush directly to their targets. The quick distribution of essential oils results in a rapid response.
