Essential oils are the volatile oil from a plant. Lavender essential oil is made from the flower. It takes 450 pounds of Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) to make one pound of Lavender essential oil. Some essential oils are made from the resin of the plants such as Myrrh.
Essential oils have been used for thousands of years to heal, in religious ceremonies, and in beauty products such as perfumes.
Essential oils are also the back bone of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy can help calm unsteadied nerves, or energize a sleepy mind.
Essential oils are what give the plant their unique taste such as thyme. Thyme contains thymol. When we taste or smell thyme, this is the main essential oil coming through.
