Essential oils are considered the pure essence
of a plant. They have been found to provide both psychological and
physical benefits when used safely and in the properly stated directions
in which to use them. Aromatherapy is when essential oils are inhaled
into the lungs, offering both psychological and physical betterment. The
aroma of the natural essential oil stimulates the brain triggering a
reaction, but when inhaled into the lungs, the natural constituents can
supply a therapeutic benefit. Diffusing eucalyptus essential oil to help
ease congestion is a one example. Although aromatherapy is a leading
use of essential oils, it’s not the only use. Essential oils can be used
in household and laundry cleaners cleaning better and supplying a
lovely, non-chemical scent. Some oils act as a natural insect repellent
and pesticide. Citronella candles during the summer to keep mosquitoes
away are similar because citronella essential oil is the ingredient in
the candles that is responsible for repelling the mosquitoes. Essential
oils that are applied to the skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
The constituents of essential oils can aid in health, beauty and hygiene
conditions. Essential oils are so powerful and concentrated; they
should never be applied to the skin in their undiluted form. To apply
essential oils to the skin, essential oils are typically diluted into
carriers such as a cold pressed vegetable oil; Grapeseed Oil is a prime
example. eSutras Organics offers a wide variety of essential oils and
carrier oils you can use to dilute them with.
