What Are Essential Oils?

What Are Essential Oils Exactly?

They are the “life force” or “blood” of the plant?
The oil in the plant helps the plants metabolism, like enzymes.
When a plant is cut, it bleeds this oil (oleo-gum-resin) into the wound which initiates healing.
The liquid from the stem if you break it in half. If you take a dandelion stem and break it in half…the liquid inside, is the “life force” or oil from the plant.
The plants immune system warding off, viruses, bacteria, microbes, fungi, parasites, and insects.
The aromatic liquids are distilled from the plants (derived from leaves, stems, flowers, and roots of the plants)
They are much more potent than herbs. Herbs are dried. Oils are the essential life force from the living plant.
One example is that 1 drop of peppermint oil is equivalent to drinking 26 cups of peppermint tea, revealing that the oil is more potent than the dried herb.
The molecules from the essential oils are tiny. All things put on our skin or inhaled, absorbs into our bloodstream at different rates. Essential oils are absorbed immediately. With a few of the oils, some people have said they feel a temporary burning feeling, it is a feeling that comes from them absorbing into your body at a cellular level so quickly. It is not a bad feeling, but a feeling like you know it is working. To slow it down you can apply pure almond oil or olive oil to your skin before and/or after.
