Traditionally, essential oils have been used for many centuries for health and beauty.
Extracted from tiny sacs found in plants, flowers, herbs, fruits, roots and flowers from all over the world, essential oils contain phyto chemicals, highly concentrated living compounds for us to use for our health and well-being.
It takes thousands of tons of flowers to extract the essential oils from their botanical source. Steam distillation, CO 2 distillation and cold pressing are many of the forms used to produce small amounts of essential oils.
Three hundred pounds of rose petals are required to produce a single fluid ounce of true rose oil. Eight to sixteen pounds of English Lavender flowers will yield an ounce of essential oil.
