Essential
oils are not really oils, they are not at all greasy and if you
should put a drop on paper it would quickly evaporate. These oils
are sometimes called aromatic plant essences because they are
a fragrant substance that plants produce. One important thing
to remember is essential oils are the expressed or distilled product
of natural aromatic plant materials. For instance, Lavender essential
oil is extracted from the Lavender plant not from a plant that
smells like Lavender.
There
are some very inexpensive synthetic essential oils on the market,
which are mostly used by soap and candle makers. These synthetic
oils are not used for inhalation as in meditation and massage
oils. It is easy to remember that oils created in a laboratory
are not essential oils. Real essential oils are born of plants
and they have a direct link with the earth they are grown in.
They are nourished by the soil, the sun, the rain, creating this
energy that totally agrees with ourselves since we are also of
the earth and also possess this energy. The following is an oil
