What makes essential oils unique and different from herbs, is that they are potent, volatile and versatile.

When you dry an herb, most of the essential oil is dried out of it. The essential oil is what contains molecules that support your whole body wellness.

Did you know that it takes 75 lemons to make one 15ml bottle of lemon essential oil and it takes 1 pound of raw peppermint to make one 15 ml bottle of peppermint essential oil? Oils are extremely potent and concentrated, this makes them very powerful and able to provide rapid benefits. Over 5,000 pounds of rose petals are required to distill 1 pound of pure rose essential oil, making it one of the most expensive oils on the market. The amount of plant material required for distillation differs from plant to plant and this is why some oils are more expensive than others.

Essential oils are also volatile meaning they quickly change from a liquid to a gas. Try putting a few drops of oils in your hand, rub your hands together and cup them over your nose. Take a few deep breaths and notice how the aroma can help help positively impact your mood and environment.

There are endless ways to use essential oils! Essential oils enhance wellness in ways that we are just beginning to understand!
